The Diet Secrets

While a food diet generally means you’ll be restricting food intake, the Ultimate Sex Diet doesn’t quite follow the same pattern.  Instead of eschewing the activity, this sex diet actually involves having more sex - lots and lots of it in order to lose weight.

According to the author, Kerry McCloskey, plenty of sex brings innumerable physical and emotional benefits, like a healthy heart, stronger immune system, less propensity for depression and weight loss.  At the bare minimum, practitioners of the Ultimate Sex Diet should have sex three to five times during the week and at least once on weekend.  The more sex you can fit into your schedule, the better the weight loss results will be.

That’s the exercise portion of the system, by the way.  It, of course, also involves an eating regimen that’s a little more forgiving than your typical diet programs. Recommended food types in the Ultimate Sex Diet consists of mostly low-fat and high-fiber fare.

Bread and pasta are particularly cited as good items you should limit.  Anytime it is available, dieters should always choose low-fat versions of dairy and milk.  Food choices that come highly recommended include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, sugar-free desserts, herbs, spices and seafood.  Aphrodisiacs like dark chocolate and wine are also encouraged, if they help increase your sexual appetite.

There is no calorie-counting in the Ultimate Sex Diet, where focus is trained on eating healthy while getting lots of sex to burn off  excess calories.  The book is currently available for about $28.

If you ask diet experts, the Japanese people traditionally eat one of the healthiest diets on earth.  If you cut out the influence of McDonald’s and other western fare among young Japanese teens, you’ll find that most people there enjoy some of the most ideal nutritional intake, day in and day out.

Want to eat like a Japanese?  Here’s what is frequently found regular Japanese fare.

1. Rice

Steamed rice is a part of almost every meal for Japanese folks.  Rice can get you your daily requirements in carbohydrates and is very filling.

2. Fish

Studies estimate that the average Japanese eat an average of 70 kilos of fish per year, four times higher than the rest of the world.  Rich in lean protein and other minerals, fish helps strengthen the immune system and increase vitality.

3. Soy

Soy products are low in calories and fat while being very high in protein.  Japanese people are known to have 10 times more soy-based food items in their diet than the rest of the world.

4. A Whole Lot Of Other Food Types

Variety is one of the most striking features of the Japanese diet.  In fact, they eat an average of 100 different food types a week, compared to an average of 30 in the US.  That means their taste buds and their bodies are exposed to a greater variety of nutritional inputs than your average person elsewhere.

5. Raw And Fresh

Japanese people like to cook fresh foods that are in season and packed with natural flavor, allowing them to eat their food with little cooking.  Many food types, when taken raw, have higher nutrients compared to their counterparts that are put through the fire.

The Scarsdale Diet continues to be one of the most popular low-carb diets in recent memory.  Designed for short-term, express weight-loss, few diets can measure up to its rapid results, with many dieters reporting up to twenty pounds lost in the two weeks it takes to complete the program.

Under the Scarsdale Diet, you limit your food intake to three controlled meals a day, with celery and carrots serving as snacks to help eliminate hunger pangs.  Your meals follow a detailed nutrient breakdown - 43% protein, 22.5% fat and 34.5% carbohydrates.  Unlike many controlled calorie programs, there’s no need for calorie counting under the diet.  Instead, you follow a meal plan with specific components and many types of food completely eliminated.  The allowed fare are so low in calories, however, that you end up naturally consuming very few, often between 800 to 1000 a day.

As you may expect, the diet is heavy on protein sources - lean meats, protein breads, eggs and similar fare.  Additionally, fruits and vegetables are heavily used throughout.  Beverages are limited to coffee, water, tea and diet soda, although their consumption can be increased or decreased depending on your preferences.  Various sauces and spices are banned from the diet as well.

If you want to lose weight fast, there are few diets that can get you there as quickly as the Scarsdale Diet.  Since it only lasts two weeks, there’s little danger of wreaking havoc on your metabolism, unlike sustained low-calorie diets.

Reality is a word that gets tossed around a lot.  It carries a deep meaning, after all, and probably resonates with a lot of people.  It’s also a word that may carry some significance to unsuccessful dieters who find the demands of typical diets a little too difficult to digest, pun intended.

The Reality Diet is an eating system that’s largely free from the trappings of many diet programs.  It’s neither low on carbs nor low on fat and doesn’t make unusual demands on those looking to lose weight.

The Diet

High fiber is the order of the day for the Reality Diet.  Fiber keeps you full much longer, removing hunger pangs throughout the day.  The book teaches dieters how to identify food choices rich in fiber, such as wheat and grains, along with how to integrate them into your meals.

According to the author, Dr. Steven Schnur, calorie counting and other trappings involved in fad diets make them difficult for ordinary individuals to employ.  While many can do them for a week or two, the pressures of reality kick in eventually, and they just give up on the diet and return to their old habits.

The Reality Diet looks to remedy this by being easy to follow and allowing for concessions.  Meals are very forgiving and allow enough “good stuff” to keep you from developing cravings.  Weight loss is facilitated by portion control and a focus on filling low-calorie food choices.

The System

Beyond meals, the book includes tips on how to eat healthy when dining out, along with other situations that might make losing weight more difficult. Dr. Schnur also cautions against diet programs that doesn’t include an exercise routine.  Exercise is the easiest way to raise your metabolism so there’s no excuse not to engage in it.  In his book, Dr. Schnur recommends aerobic exercises designed to raise heart rate and burn fat.
