If you’re rethinking your dietary behaviours or have been dealing with health issues that have induced you to reconsider your diet, there’s never a bad time to become more mindful of the fuel you’re going to put in your body.
Intermittent fasting
This is a nutritional tactic that alternates between fasting and eating intervals. Intermittent fasting limits the amount of time you can eat, which is a simple way to reduce your calorie intake. This can result in weight loss unless you compensate by eating excessively during permitted eating times. Intermittent fasting has been shown to result in a 3–8% weight loss over 3–24 weeks, which is a significant great result.
Low-carb diets
These are some of the most famous weight-loss diets. The Atkins diet, ketogenic (keto) diet, and low-carb, high-fat (LCHF) diet are a few examples. Low-carb diets limit carbohydrate intake in favour of protein and fat. They are typically higher in protein than low-fat diets, which is important because protein can help you control your appetite, increase your metabolism, and preserve muscle mass. There have been numerous studies that show low-carb diets can help with weight loss and would be more accurate than standard low-fat diets
DASH Diet
The DASH diet has been titled the second best diet overall in 2020. The DASH diet, or Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension, is a diet that is specifically designed to help treat or prevent high blood pressure. This diet is also beneficial to the elderly, as we all know that the risk of heart disease and high blood pressure increases significantly with the onset of menopause. There is a way to manage the symptoms, there is nothing better than this diet. This diet emphasises foods high in calcium, potassium, and magnesium, all of which are known to help control high blood pressure. This diet recommends specific servings of various food groups based on a person’s daily calorie intake. It is primarily made up of vegetables, fruits, low-fat dairy, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, fish, and poultry.
The Vegan or Vegetarian diet
Both diets are based on plant-based foods. Animal products are strictly prohibited. Veganism is the most stringent form of vegetarianism. Aside from avoiding meat, people on this diet also avoid dairy products and eggs. According to research, eating a vegan or vegetarian diet can help prevent diseases such as heart disease, cancer, and Type 2 diabetes. The only disadvantage of this diet is that it may be deficient in vitamins B12, D, iodine, iron, calcium, zinc, and omega-3 fatty acids.
The HMR Program (Health Management Resources Program)
To help dieters lose weight quickly, it employs meal replacements – think low-calorie shakes, meals, nutrition bars, and hot cereal – in phases, expert coaching, physical activity, and an emphasis on fruits and vegetables. This diet makes it simple to lose weight quickly and would most likely be effective for someone who needs to lose weight for a special occasion. However, in terms of long-term healthy habit formation, this diet falls short. This is due, in part, to dieters’ failure to learn to make their own healthy food choices.
At the end of the day, it’s never a bad idea to go overboard with anything. Eating is something that you should enjoy. Try not to do everything at once. Even if you know what you “SHOULD” do, choose one thing to change and concentrate on it for a while. When you’re satisfied with that, try something else.
