Diet Plans

If someone were looking for a particular weight loss plan or group what should they look for?

I would look at a few things in particular and one of the first things would be, does the particular weight loss plan advocate
certain foods, in other words Jenny Craig says you have to eat my food and you have to have Jenny Craig drinks and entrees. Jenny Craig is very profitable. Do you have to make ongoing payments to this weight loss plan to keep losing weight ? If you do, then you have to consider what is more important to them, educating you about your long term health, or making as much money as possible out of you.

One of the things that I would look for, is whether the weight loss program introduces you to eating normal food and does it encourage getting into regular exercise as a lifestyle change rather than a short term exercise kick.

Is the weight loss program focused on your long term health rather than getting your weight down and then offering little help afterwards.

I don't like those weight loss plans that delivers food to your door because it's like spoon feeding you. After you've lost the weight what happens, you either continue to buy their food (which gets expensive) or you go back to the way you ate before and this is where the problems occur.
Diet plans that keep you focused on a certain area or a particular niche that they have tried to carve out in a marketing opportunity, are just treating you like a meal-ticket with no thought to your overall health and fitness. I would avoid those with a passion. I would try and go with the plans that give you a normal way of eating, train you to find out what exercise is best for you and your lifestyle and don't require ongoing payment to the owner or company running the weight loss program.

What reputable weight loss programs do you recommend ?

There are a couple that might or might not be suitable for you. The first is Melt The Fat, it is great for beginners and veteran dieters alike. It shows you how to eat and exercise to lose weight. It's an e-book, so there are no ongoing costs, yet you can use it on an ongoing basis.

The second is Christian Finn's site which offers no hype research into health and fitness generally, but also focuses on how to eat

right and exercise to burn fat, lose weight and become fit. The site is without a doubt a great resource, but does require an annual payment. If you are prepared to pay a bit more than the standard membership fee, Christian will work with you over the email to reach your goals. Again, the drawback of Christian Finn's site is that you have to pay over and over again.

Now also remember how I talked about the research into vegan eating and health, well, I am a meat eater and I must admit that I love my meat and red meat is the most efficient way to get all the amino acids you need. Having said that, eating a few vegetarian meals can bring down your energy intake and improve the quality of your diet.

So while it does not provide a complete weight loss solution, I'm also recommending as a third option, that you get a hold of a vegetarian cookbook. If for nothing else, you can learn some new ways to prepare interesting meals. The benefits of the cookbook is that you pay for the cookbook once, but learn interesting ways of preparing vegetables.

And that concludes our Q & A session. I hope that you've enjoyed the report and look forward to serving you in the future at Savvy Fat Burning Food.
