Summary

If you eat dinner solely for the chance to chase it with dessert, we hate to break it to you, but it might be time to try a sugar detox. We’re not talking about a five-day fad cleanse, either. The ultimate goal is to really downplay sugar in the diet and have that be a permanent lifestyle change. Your love for sugary stuff may seem benign, but the truth is that most people are eating way more of it than they need. Americans currently consume 22 teaspoons of sugar per day. That’s more than three times as much as what’s recommended by the American Heart Association. Plus, research shows that not-so-innocent sweet tooth could be doing serious damage to your health, leading to weight gain, high blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and an increased risk for diabetes. In fact, eating too much sugar should be considered just as dangerous as smoking cigarettes. A diet with sugar and high glycemic index foods promotes all the leading causes of death in America. We don’t see value in cutting out sugar for a few days and then going back to eating it, but I do see value in cutting it out permanently. Sugar addiction is no joke. Once you’re hooked, cravings can be hard to resist, leading you down a slippery slope towards obesity and other health problems. Studies are showing that in some people and animals, the brain can react to sugar very much like it can to drugs and alcohol. That’s why when you initially cut added sugars from your diet, you might feel deprived for a few days. When your body is overloaded with waste, you feel more uncomfortable when not eating that food. It’s like stopping coffee. Your efforts to cut back on sugar will pay off though. In the short term, people will notice their energy levels improve right away and after a short period of time they will notice cravings and fatigue diminishes. Plus, the long-term benefits of cutting back on added sugar in your diet are impossible to ignore. One study published in the journal Circulation showed that sugar-sweetened drinks directly cause the cardiovascular disease and diabetes that kill about 184,000 people worldwide every year.

Atkins Diet

Summary

"Controlling carbs works in virtually every situation, when you're having dinner with the family or hosting a dinner party, when you're in a hurry or spending the day creating delicacies in your kitchen. If you like to take shortcuts or you enjoy starting from scratch, if you mostly tinker in the kitchen on the weekends or cook every day, here are the recipes that suit your lifestyle." - Veronica Atkins The Atkins diet, a popular low- or modified-carb diet that’s high in fats and proteins but low in things like sugar, fruit, grains, and many processed foods, has been around for more than 40 years. Various books about the Atkins diet are some of the best-selling in the diet category, with more than 45 million sold worldwide. The Atkins diet was created by an American cardiologist named Dr. Robert Atkins who believed that eating a low-carb diet that focuses on foods like meat, veggies, cheese, and butter could help many struggling with weight gain to quickly shed extra fat. You’ll learn what the Atkins diet is, how it works, the different phases of the diet, what to eat in each phase, and also some alternatives to consider based on potential dangers involved. Keep in mind that while low-carb diets have certainly been shown to help promote weight loss and in some cases other health benefits, overall there is only weak evidence supporting its effectiveness as a sustainable, long-term diet plan to lose weight.  As I share several alternatives to the Atkins diet, I detail my personal recommendation for how to lose weight in a healthy manner - plus, most importantly, how to keep it off! Ideally, you’ll formulate your own healing diet that combines the effectiveness of an unprocessed, moderately low-carb diet plan with other lifestyle changes (including getting regular exercise and reducing stress). With this approach, you can lose weight effortlessly and feel better overall.

Paleo Diet

Summary

When you are following the paleo diet, you can eat anything we could hunt or gather way back in the day - things like meats, fish, nuts, leafy greens, regional veggies, and seeds.   Sorry, the pasta, cereal, and candy will have to go! Anything that didn’t exist in caveman times will not be existing on your plate or in your stomach.   And instead of counting calories and perfectly partitioned portions (say that three times fast), you’ll be focusing on eating the right foods instead.   And that makes me happy because I hate counting calories. Maybe you do, too.   I don’t like keeping track of how much I’ve eaten or obsessing over how many grams of a particular nutrient I’ve had. Not only do I hate counting calories, but I know that calories are really only half of the battle, as they’re not all created equal - 400 calories of Doritos do not have the same effect on your body as 400 calories of high-quality vegetables and protein.   Fortunately, if you can expand your horizons and remove certain types of food from your diet, you can stop worrying about counting calories forever and instead focus on fixing your relationship with food.   This diet does have a ton of pitfalls and challenges that you’ll encounter as you start to change your life, and most people give up on the paleo diet within a few days!  If you are interested in learning more about the diet, and want to learn how to successfully implement it, we have you covered!   So let’s dig in.   The paleo diet doesn’t require counting a single calorie, and it allows you to eat until you’re full and happy. Oh, and it can help you lose weight, build muscle, and get in the best shape of your life.   I know, that sounds like an ad for some really shady supplement or diet book that you’d see on TV at four a.m. It’s not; it actually works (if you do it correctly)!   But you need to do it right. You need to have the right mindset. You need to focus on the right foods and structure your environment so you’re not tempted to backslide and abandon the diet after a few days.

Lose Your Belly Diet: The Most Effective and Easiest Way to Lose Your Weight

Summary

Getting rid of your belly bulge is important for more than just vanity's sake. Excess abdominal fat - particularly visceral fat, the kind that surrounds your organs and puffs your stomach into a "beer gut" - is a predictor of heart disease, type-2 diabetes, insulin resistance, and some cancers. If diet and exercise haven't done much to reduce your pooch, then your hormones, your age, and other genetic factors may be the reason why. There are three types of fat: triglycerides (the fat that circulates in your blood), subcutaneous fat (the layer directly below the skin’s surface), and visceral fat (dangerous belly fat). Visceral fat is located beneath the muscles in your stomach and poses many dangers to your health when there is too much of it. Belly fat doesn’t just sit there; it can have negative impacts on almost every organ in your body through the productions of excess hormones and chemicals. Having too much visceral fat can put you at risk for many other health issues such as cardiovascular disease, type-2 diabetes, and colorectal cancer. How do you know if you have too much belly fat? An easy way to determine if you have too much belly fat is to measure yourself at home. Take a measuring tape and wrap it around your bare stomach, directly above your hip bone. The tape should be snug but not too tight. For women, a measurement of 35 inches or more indicates an unhealthy amount of belly fat. For men, a measurement of 40 inches or more indicates an unhealthy measure.
