Advantages Of Low Carb Diets
These low carbohydrate diets do encourage you to learn healthy eating as part of losing weight. That will have long term benefits for you. A diet in which you derive most of your daily calories from high fibre sources of carbohydrates, such as leafy green vegetables and grains, is often recommended by
established medical community for good nutrition. Because these diets are popular, it is easy to find low-carb foods.
Disadvantages Of Low Carb Diets
The allowance for eating all
protein and fats you like does go against conventional medical wisdom. it is thought that a diet high in saturated fats could lead to heart disease, diabetes, gout and other chronic health conditions. These diets are accompanied by cautions and advice, which suggest you keep portions reasonable. Follow that advice and that concern may be allayed somewhat; but if in doubt, consult your doctor.
3. The Real Mayo Clinic Diet
This diet is not
one which has circulated for
past thirty or more years and purported to have originated at
Mayo Clinic! The true Mayo Clinic's nutrition and diet centre recommends a healthy eating weight loss plan that is based on limiting fats, proteins and carbohydrates, counting calories and deriving most of
daily nutrition from vegetables, grains and fruit.
Advantages Of The Real Mayo Clinic Diet
Really, there is no 'diet' as such, in
sense we often use
word when we are talking about losing weight. Instead, you are encouraged to take control of your own eating. By doing so, you aim to achieve portion control, and a sensible balance of nutrients. These are
pillars of a weight loss plan that takes weight off gradually, but then helps you keep your weight down permanently.
Disadvantages Of The Real Mayo Clinic Diet
This may be a difficult diet to maintain. Counting calories and portions can be difficult if you are eating out or on
run living an active and busy life, and often away from home.
There are many diets claiming to take weight off quickly and painlessly, without exercise or changing your eating habits. Most doctors believe
optimum way to lose weight, for long lasting results, is to lose 1-2 pounds per week. The variations of
three major diets above are all capable of helping you do just that.
