How to choose the best diet for you

Diaet

For years, the popular magazines are regularly inundated with new diet proposals. And always the new diet is the absolute best and most effective diet. But these diet programs forget one important point: every body is different and reacts differently to food and exercise. The ideal diet depends on your personal goals, performance level, body type, genes and other important components. Conventional diets select people into certain pigeonholes, often consisting only of low-carb or high-carb eating types. No wonder many people don't even start their diet because they don't fit into the pigeonhole or because they don't understand what diet type they actually are. Many people have had to try countless diets before finding the one that suits them. Below we have published eight points to help you find the right diet for you from the start.

1 - What actually is a diet?

The information that you are only allowed to eat certain foods for a certain period of time creates a significant amount of stress in many people. The fear of failure and not being able to keep up the diet in the long term often leads to many people not starting a diet in the first place. A diet actually only defines a new way of life, but does not dictate that only certain foods may be eaten. The regulation and control of nutrients is a public opinion that has been spread mainly by the media for new diets. You should therefore create your own philosophy and definition of a diet, so that the fear of failure is eliminated from the outset. If you can go through your diet stress-free and also no fear of failure can arise, the success in losing weight will occur very quickly.

2 - Learn from all diets

If you compare the individual diet forms with each other, you quickly come to the conclusion that they actually do not differ much. The popular diets such as Paleo, Low Carb, High Fat, etc. all place a lot of emphasis on healthy foods that have nothing to do with junk food and bad fats. The advantage of these diets is a new awareness on healthy and natural foods, no matter what nutrients are preferred to be included in the diet. You learn through these diets to pay more attention to the quality of food, which can certainly lead to better health, even if you do not do the diet at all.

3 - Eat everything, but avoid hunger

Basically, all forms of diets work in their own way. Of course, you lose weight quickly when the calorie intake is radically reduced. Whether this is healthy or not is another matter. After all, even well-known stars swear by a high-protein diet and do almost exclusively without carbohydrates, while other people tend to prefer a low-fat diet. It is important to have a concrete plan that must be followed through in a certain period of time. Nevertheless, it is important that you never let a feeling of hunger arise, even if you are dieting. If the body is forcibly deprived of its energy source, it will also immediately reduce its energy level and you will become listless, tired and often depressed. This is certainly not the purpose of dieting.

4 - Find out for yourself what you really need

If you go through the popular diet magazines, you will notice very quickly that the descriptions are always about the general public. Everyone needs little fat, carbohydrates and a lot of protein. The important vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D, E or chromium are almost never considered. Therefore, find out what the body needs in general vitamins and minerals and try to integrate these substances in your personal diet plan. In this way, over time, you will learn to change the diet into a personal and individual nutrition plan. Also, do not listen to the many nutritionists who also often only want to sell a program that they have developed for themselves.

5 - Eat according to your body type

An important aspect of nutrition should be the physique and the associated body type. Most people can be classified into the three types ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph.
Ectomorphs process all nutrients very quickly because they have a high metabolism. These people are lean, have long bones little fat and thin muscles. Endomorphic individuals, on the other hand, have a slow metabolism and therefore process nutrients much more slowly, which causes them to put on body fat quickly and thus appear more rounded. Mesomorphic individuals have well-developed muscles and a strong and powerful bone structure. If you correctly assess your body type, you can also focus on certain diets that specifically take into account your physique.

6 - Listen to your body

An important criterion for a diet is the physical well-being during the diet phase. A diet should really only be carried out if it does not burden your health. If you have incessant digestive problems, are tired or get cravings all the time, then you should either change the diet or choose another form of diet. Also, certain prescribed foods should only be eaten if you can tolerate them. Dairy products, for example, are of no use if you are lactose intolerant. You can either switch to lactose-free products or avoid dairy products altogether. However, you can still lose weight.

7 - Expect success in small steps

Many people want to achieve success quickly, so they radically try to change something in their lives. But they forget that the body must also play a part in this change. You have saved up your waist fat for years with an unhealthy lifestyle and now you want to lose it all again within six weeks? That can't work. Diets don't even consider these important components. If, for example, you are only allowed to eat a maximum of 15 percent carbohydrates per day in a low carb diet, then physical discomfort is already pre-programmed. First try to take 25 percent carbohydrates daily and when the body has become accustomed to this dose, then you go further down to the 15 percent. In the end, small steps bring great success, and this is also true in a diet.

8 - Consider your life situation

Before you even start a diet, you should first think about whether the diet fits into your current lifestyle. A long-term diet often requires certain foods to be obtained first. For example, what if you are on a business trip? What happens if your personal situation changes or you hardly have time to cook your own meals at work? Even cabbage soup needs to be prepared every day. For example, what to do if you can't get the required food at the moment? What are the alternatives if the diet puts too much of a financial burden on you? Make an accurate plan about your current living situation and then try to imagine how you can integrate the diet into your life. Now and in the future.
