Will A Quick Fix Diet Work

By Keeley Roberts

We all know the scenario, going out for the evening and cannot peel ourselves into our favourite jeans. We then want to lose the extra weight immediately, well I always do. Is this possible without starvation or a quick fix diet? It can be done with the correct diet plan and information.

Don't be another victim of quick fix diets. The key to a successful diet is planning. Pick a date you want to start your diet and be ready for it. Have a diet plan organised and you won't be tempted to raid the biscuit tin. All your friends and family should be made aware you are dieting so that they can give you all the encouragement you need.

Plan an exercise routine. It has been proven that exercise in the morning is more effective than later on in the day.This is due to calories and fat from the evening before being burned off.

Nutrition plays an important factor when embarking on any diet plan, especially a quick fix diet. Processed foods contain high levels of sodium which cause fluid to be retained. Eliminate these from your diet wherever possible.

Try and have lots of healthy snacks readily available to stop you snacking on crips, nuts or cakes. Drink plenty of water to keep you well hydrated. This is very important if you are using a quick fix diet.

I used to keep a star chart in the kitchen to remind myself of how well I was doing. The children thought it was most impressive that mummy had a chart. Buy one item of smaller clothing as an incentive and make sure you can see this every day. I bought something totally inappropriate but it made me feel good.

It is recommended that when eating meals; do not eat them in front of the television. This is where most people tend to over eat.

Don't embark on any diet plan before you have checked it is the right one for you and if in doubt seek professional advice. If you do the initial planning you should be able to resist the quick fix diets. - 15266
