Free Diet Program

A free diet program that works

For most people just going on a diet won't lead to permanent weight loss. You know that--you have been on diets before.

And there are many aspects to losing weight besides your diet.

But what you eat and when you eat and how much you eat still has a great deal to do with how much you weigh.

1000 calorie diet

If you have a very small frame or have some special need for a short-term, very-low-calorie diet there is a 1000 calorie diet. But be sure to read the tips and suggestions before you start.

This is not a diet for most people as the calories are so low. It actually will take weight off fast. And it is very well balanced nutritionally.

But if you follow it for a long time your metabolism will drop. Then when you stop you'll just gain back all the weight.

You could use it as a "jump start" program. That is where you just have to lose weight, and it has to be right now! The scale will show some fast weight loss. But then, after 2 weeks, get on a good long term program.

Why do I include this diet on the free diet program? Actually, it is because the 1000 calorie diet is the most requested diet by all sorts of people.

1200 calorie diet

This is also a very-low-calorie diet. I would give you the same advice as I did for the 1000 calorie diet. Make sure you know what you are doing before you use the 1200 calorie diet.

For the long run you are probably going to need more calories.

You should take in a little less than you burn up each day. So aim for about 300-500 calories less each day than what you burn up at rest.

Then when you add exercise to your program you can have a good, effective, long term weight loss plan.

1500 calorie diet

The 1500 calorie diet is a good all around diet. It is high in protein, so it will stimulate your metabolism.

It is a very good diet for a lot of women. If you really follow the 1500 calorie diet you will lose a lot of weight.

1800 calorie diet

This is a good diet for a lot of women and many men. The 1800 calorie diet has a lot of protein, and that will keep your metabolism charged up.

Like all these diets, it is split up into 5 meals per day. It might not be what you are used to, but several small meals each day is best for weight loss.

You are going to figure out how many calories you need when you do your diet planning. If you find you need more calories that this, just increase the portions. For instance if you need 2400 calories per day, just make each serving 1 1/2 times what is listed.

The diets that are listed in this free diet program can help you lose weight. You should take a good look at them and see how they are put together.

They are designed to help keep you from being too hungry. They also stimulate the metabolism and help you burn off fat.

Tips and suggestions

There are tips and suggestions that go with each diet. You will get much better results if you follow the suggestions. For example, there is a food list that goes with each diet. You can use the food list to substitute one food for another.

Here's how it works--if you like one kind of protein more than another, or you want to have a different kind of carb, you just go to the list and find one that you like better and you use that. If you don't like apples pick something else from the list of fruits that you like better and have that.

You don't have to be overly rigid, but try to come close to the amounts that are suggested. If the free diet program says four ounces (120 grams) and you eat 1 1/2 pounds (680 grams) you are not going to have very good results.

Don't skip meals

You can't skip any meals. And that includes breakfast--even if you don't like breakfast. Don't think that you can lose even more weight by skipping some of the food on the list. You have to eat it all. Including your veggies.

And really make an effort to eat the frequent small meals. It might take some getting used to, but the results you get with be infinitely better with small frequent meals.

The portion sizes may look very small to you at first. There will be a period of adjustment. Remember, if you are hungry you are going to eat again soon.

You should make some effort to actually figure out how much you should be eating. Don't just pick the lowest calorie diet thinking that you will lose the most weight with that one. It doesn't work that way.

If you do that you'll end up back where you are now. Remember, you are doing this diet because the other things you tried didn't work.

If the amount you are supposed to be eating is higher or lower than what is listed in the free diet program just make a little adjustment.

For example, if you need a 2400 calorie diet for your body size, then just use the 1800 calorie diet and make the portions one third larger.

Diet planning

These aren't so much diets as advice on a healthy way to live. You should be able to stay on an eating plan like this for a long time. Your weight will gradually come down and you can stabilize at your ideal weight.

To plan meals over the course of weeks or months, just use the food list that goes with each diet, and substitute foods of your choice.

Or do a little research on the calories, protein, fats, and carbohydrates of foods you like and add them to the list where they fit.

But you don't have to do any adjustment to the diet if you don't want to. It can be quite healthy to eat mostly the same foods every day. And if you eat the same thing most days it becomes easier to plan.
