Is the BHF 3 Day Diet Plan the Answer?

We’re now well into 2012 and already more than 50% of New Year dieters would have failed to stick by their resolution to lose weight. Many will feel disappointed with themselves, disgusted even, and will have already made new promises to start again soon. And so the yo-yo diet phenomenon continues, and for most, it will stay this way for a lifetime. On a diet, off a diet, off, on, off, on! Some will even try to make up for lost ground and jump on those crazy fast diets such as the BHF 3 day diet plan (British Heart Foundation 3-day diet), but such diets only make things worse, and in some cases can pose a threat to health. Diets such as the one above are perfect examples of how to lose weight the wrong way. The scales might show results, but all the dieter has lost is water weight, and not body fat.

An Apple a Day Keeps the Doctor Away! Really?

The above is supposed to insinuate that fruit such as apples are so good for us that having one a day will keep you and your body it tip top condition. But low calorie diets, namely those that have people nibbling on fresh fruit and veg and little else, are not the way to go either.

Which shouldn’t go on diets but more say to ourselves we have a lifestyle that includes eating a healthy diet. So what is a healthy diet and one that can assist with weight loss and maintaining a healthy weight? It’s nothing more than the consumption of all kinds of food in moderation, and reduced proportions from what we’re used to. We cut out the daily consumption of junk food and become more mindful of what we’re feeding ourselves with. Eating healthily without depriving ourselves really isn’t rocket science bur more to do with common sense.

So perhaps it’s a good idea to forget going ‘on’ a diet and think more along the lines of embarking on a lifestyle change? Good luck.
