| There's lots of diets out there. They all have one thing in common - paying attention to what you eat. They may each have a different prescription as to exactlywhat you should chow on, but they all agree that you must be paying attention.
That suggests something that a number have doctors have since told me - the real, functional part of dieting is not exactly what you eat, but that you pay attention to what you eat.
The safest way for most folks to lose weight is to simply reduce caloric intake and moderately increase activity levels. The main point of the diet is not specifically what you're eating, but that you have a plan and stick to it.
Cut snacks, decrease portion size and number of portions. Go to the gym or just go for long walks. Not much more is usually needed. |
