We read
a lot about the advantages of eating healthy diets. A strict diet plan includes
a long list of "DOs" and "DO NOTs". Sometimes, the
effort needed to keep track of healthy eating options (for example, what to eat
or avoid; what to eat more, little or in moderation, etc.) is unimaginable.
I do
not know about you but I find these instructions and suggestions very
exhausting. Another thing that might be very tiring is checking to ensure
that the right quantity of food is consumed at all times; one has to count or
weight almost everything. Of course, we do not have to overfeed, but our daily
consumption must be right if we want things to work.
One might think that one
is eating right but the quantity might just be too much!
The
question is: how can a specific diet plan be made more effective?
A
strict plan can be a problem for someone with certain health issues that
warrant eating one thing and not the other.
There is no excuse for those who
give in to their craving for junk food, though.
I will
say that the answer to the question above depends on the person involved. There
are some strict diet plans that have proved to be very effective. For example,
one of my friends commended the Atkins diet plan to me. She went on and on to
explain how it helped her to shed off fat (many kilos) but warned that the plan
has to be strictly followed for it to work.
I
believe that there are others out there that I do not know.
There
is a saying that "what you eat defines you". For me, I make an effort
to eat the right food, not really following a strict diet plan which I must confess
is sometimes an issue for me. I chose what I eat and try to make right choices.
I eat in moderation; one can only eat a certain quantity of food in a day, of
course.
There
are so many distractions if you want to eat right, for example, eating out with
friends, giving oneself a "treat" (in excess!), being too lazy to
prepare the right dishes at all times...the list goes on and on and on...
