Have you tried these Diets?

The ‘Cutting Carbs’ Diets

Have you tried to lose weight by reducing your carbohydrate intake?

Meaning that you cut out, or cut down, on bread, potatoes, rice, and pasta.

New science reveals why this doesn’t work for the long-term.

You see, your body attempts to maintain a balance between the “carbs in” – that’s what you get from food – and the “carbs out” – that’s the carbs you burn for energy.

If you deliberately avoid eating carbs, this critical balance gets out of whack. 

Then over time, you’re likely to eat more calories than you need overall, and so the weight goes back on.

You’re also likely to be hungry most of the time too, craving for the things you’re not allowed to eat.

Because the simple fact is this. We crave (and need) carbs to keep things balanced. 

In fact our brains go into overdrive to make this happen.

Carbs have been an essential part of our diet since we existed on this planet, and that’s not about to change anytime soon.

It’s totally against nature to cut them from our diet.

Cutting carbs is definitely NOT the answer to healthy, long-term weight loss.

The good news? You won’t be cutting carbs with the Slimming4Life Weight Loss Plan. 

The ‘Counting Calories’ Diets

Perhaps you’ve tried to lose weight by counting calories.

A spate of diet books popularized the notion, and the idea caught on.

People began calculating how many calories were consumed when eating particular foods, and how many were "burned" when engaging in different activities. 

But there’s a big problem with counting calories for long-term weight management.

And if you’ve tried it, you’ll know what it is.

Basically, you need to be really good at maths to make it work.

In fact you'll probably need a calorie-counting device of some kind to figure it out.

You know how it goes…

To lose a kilo of fat a week you need to be in a calorie deficit of 1142 calories each day. Exercise might lose 300 of those, leaving you with another 842 calories to trim from your diet. Find your base calorie requirement by multiplying your weight by 14. Deduct your 842 calories from that, and this gives you your target calories a day. 

Have your eyes glazed over already?

But wait.  You also have to know how many calories EVERY bit of food you consume has, and how many calories you burn by any exercise you do.

Whew - and you’re doing these calculations every single moment of the day.

Imagine living like this for the rest of your life.

It's exhausting, and totally unsustainable for all but a few. 

And again, because you’re always working hard to eat less than you want, you’re hungry most of the time.

And when we’re hungry, what do you think about?

FOOD!  FOOD!  FOOD! 

So after a while, you pack it in, and pack it back on.

The good news? No counting calories with the Slimming4Life Weight Loss Plan.

The ‘Points System’ Diets

Then there are the points system diets.

Diets that give every bit of food a points-value, and you keep a note of how many points you've eaten throughout the day.

An example of this kind of diet is Weight Watchers.

You deduct points for any exercise you do – and each exercise has different points – with your goal being to keep your points under a certain total each day.

Again you’re being asked to be a mathematician.

In fact you'll be asked to buy a special calculator to figure it all out.

And because the focus is always on 'lack', ‘restriction’, ‘cutting back’, and ‘keeping under the allowable limit', you’re always thinking about the food you wish you could be eating.

And when it all becomes too hard, you’ll always revert back to what’s easiest

And that's eating! 

The good news? No counting points with the Slimming4Life Weight Loss Plan.

The ‘Buy Our Food’ Diets

With some diets, you have to buy their food.

Jenny Craig is an example.

The biggest cost of Jenny Craig is the price of their pre-packaged meals. 

The good news? With the Slimming4Life Weight Loss Plan, you buy the foods you love from your own supermarket.

The ‘Cave Man’ Diet

Then there's the Cave Man, Paleolithic or Paleo Diet. 

This is where you wind the clock back many thousand of years, and eat what our forebears ate when they still had a bit of hair to lose and foraged on the plains. 

We'll simply outline for you here what you are NOT allowed to eat on this diet, and let you make up your own mind about it.

    > No Grains of any kind (no bread or corn etc) 
    > No potato or sweet potato 
    > No sugars
    > No legumes (beans, peas, peanuts etc)
    > No dairy (milk, butter, cream, yoghurt, icecream, cheese etc)
    > No salt
    > No pickled foods
    > No cured meats
    > No oils like corn, cottonseed, peanut, soy, rice or wheat germ oil

As you'd imagine, eating this way would require an enormous change in your eating habits - maybe even more difficult than becoming a vegan.

Could you fit all this in and still have a family and social life?

We'll leave that to your imagination. 

The good news? With the Slimming4Life Weight Loss Plan, you continue to eat the foods you love.
