			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-220" title="healthy breakfast with milk and egg" src="http://healthic.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/healthy-breakfast-with-milk-and-egg-300x225.jpg" alt="healthy breakfast with milk and egg" width="220" height="188" />Skipping meals may help you lose weight, but it is not an ideal way to lose weight. Instead of skipping meals and losing nutrition, there is an effective way to <a href="http://healthic.net/diet/consuming-sufficient-healthy-foods-yet-maintaining-ideal-weight/">lose weight by consuming sufficient and healthy food</a>.</p>
<p>The procedure is very simple; all you have to do is eat healthy and eat as much as you want, but in portions.</p>
<p>To follow this diet plan, all you have to do is <a href="http://wellnesstm.com/dietary/changing-your-habits-to-oversome-overweight-concerns/">make a healthy choice</a> for breakfast which should include milk and egg.<span id="more-219"></span></p>
<p>For your lunch, you can eat anything you like except for fried and junk food. For example, if you make a choice of eating chicken, divide it into three portions. Eat one portion at lunch time and eat other half portion after an hour and again eat last portion after an hour. This will help to <a href="http://wellnesstm.com/tips/calorie-burning-increase-your-body-metabolism/">increase your metabolism</a> and your food will easily digest within hours.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-221" title="Healthy meal" src="http://healthic.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/Healthy-meal-300x199.jpg" alt="Healthy meal" width="220" height="188" />Follow the same scheme for your dinner and supper. With this plan, you can sometimes consume large quantities of the food you like but dividing it in portions.</p>
<p>Along with this plan, workout for at least half an hour is very important and like all other diets and plans, drinking water in sufficient quantity is very important.</p>
<p>When you try to consume your food after an interval of one hour, you will not only feel light, but you will notice that you are <a href="http://healthic.net/diet/consuming-sufficient-healthy-foods-yet-maintaining-ideal-weight/">losing weight without skipping meals</a>. This will help you to remain filled for long and will not affect your health.</p>
<p>And most importantly, you are <a href="http://mybodytips.com/care/ten-tips-help-you-maintain-a-healthy-body/">losing weight by eating sufficiently</a> ; this is one of the best path that you could follow to lose weight.</p>
<p>Make sure you take guidance from your doctor or physicians too before you start practicing this <a href="http://healthic.net/category/diet/">weight control dietary</a> plan.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-115" title="weight watchers" src="http://healthic.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/weight-watchers-300x300.jpg" alt="weight watchers" width="200" height="200" />One of the most popular and successful <a href="http://healthic.net/diet/nutrition-psychology-and-support-system-in-weight-and-dietary-planning/">diets programs</a> in the United States is the Weight Watchers diet.</p>
<p>Their plan is simple and comprehensive. It involves a little work from the dieter, but it is not overwhelming. The plan utilizes nutrition, psychology and support systems that together help the dieter achieve his goal.<br />
They have a few plans. Here is the most popular one which is called the point system.</p>
<p>What do you eat? Basically everything. Each food gets points assigned to it based on the carbohydrate contents, fat content and fiber content. You get a small paper calculator and with a sliding center you can check the amount of points the food you are about to eat, gets.<br />
<span id="more-6"></span><br />
<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-116" title="diet journal" src="http://healthic.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/weight-dietary-plan-300x199.jpg" alt="diet journal" width="220" height="169" />You are also assigned, based on your <a href="http://healthic.net/tag/weight/">weight</a> and the amount of pounds (or Kg) you want to lose, the number of points you should eat each day.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s up to the dieter to decide what and how much he eats as long as he does not exceed the points allowed. So if you crave chocolate you can eat it, but know that you have to eat zero or low points food for the rest of the day.<br />
This is a psychological break through. You do not have to deny yourself the food you like the most. You can eat everything – in small portions.</p>
<p>The second part of this program is to write everything down. We often feel we don&#8217;t eat much and yet the weight keeps going up. Writing down everything you eat makes you aware of what you put in your mouth and you might discover the “nothing” you ate is actually quite a lot. It is an excellent way to <a href="http://healthic.net/diet/nutrition-psychology-and-support-system-in-weight-and-dietary-planning/">control your food</a> instead of it controlling you.</p>
<p>The third part of this program is the weekly weigh-ins. You are asked not to weigh yourself every day. Our weight fluctuates because of different reasons; water retention, meal just consumed, constipation. This daily ritual is unnerving and disappointing at times. What you are asked to do instead is to come to their centers once a week and they will weigh you. No cheating, no leaning forward or back. The same scale once a week. Your weight is written down in a little booklet you keep, and you can watch the pound go away.</p>
<p>Following the weigh-ins there are support meetings run by their counselors. In those meetings you get together with people in the same situation as you and you share complaints and advice. The counselor follows a program which explains the <a href="http://nutridb.com">basis of nutrition</a> and teaches you ways to shave points off <a href="http://healthic.net/tag/diet-plan/">your diet</a> by using substitutes and sharing recipes.</p>
<p>The best thing about this plan is that it is sustainable for a long period of time. Since you are the judge of what you eat and don&#8217;t deny yourself the foods you crave, you can continue on the plan for a long time. The goal is to lose no more than 2-3 pounds a week (about 1 kg.). It becomes a way of life and a way to <a href="http://healthic.net/diet/nutrition-psychology-and-support-system-in-weight-and-dietary-planning/">control your weight</a> forever.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>New trend in the diet market in the last few years are the home delivered diets. Jenny Craig has been around for years and Nutrisystem joined a few years ago and is geared more towards men.<br />
<img class="alignright size-medium wp-image-171" title="low-carb-pyramid" src="http://healthic.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/low-carb-pyramid-300x286.jpg" alt="low-carb-pyramid" width="220" height="186" /><br />
The principle is quite simple – In this hectic world, who&#8217;s got the time to eat right?</p>
<p>The solution &#8211; they will make the food for you according to healthy, low fat, low carbohydrate guidelines, and will deliver the prepackaged food to your home. It takes the guessing, measuring, counting and preparing of the food out of the equation. All you have to do is eat their food, supplement it with fresh fruit and vegetables and lose the weight.<br />
<span id="more-16"></span></p>
<p>Both diet plans are almost the same and they guarantee that you will lose the weight if you follow their regiment.</p>
<p>It works well if you do as they say and don&#8217;t “sin” by snacking on additional foods. The problem arises when you realize what you getting and how much it costs.<br />
<img class="alignright size-full wp-image-170" title="diet nutrisystem" src="http://healthic.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/diet-nutrisystem.jpg" alt="diet nutrisystem" width="167" height="167" />The portions are very small. They say this is the <a href="http://healthic.net/diet/supplementing-fresh-fruit-and-vegetables-in-home-delivery-meal/">right amount you should be eating</a>, but your stomach, used to much more food in a single day, might tell you otherwise. Theoretically you should be able to keep away hunger by adding vegetables but when you are at home, by your refrigerator, what is there to stop you?</p>
<p>Maybe the price. It costs about two hundred of dollars a week to have three meals a day delivered. If you are a busy person who doesn&#8217;t have time, or doesn&#8217;t like to cook, this is a perfect solution. Just pop the package in the microwave and you have a <a href="http://healthic.net/diet/supplementing-fresh-fruit-and-vegetables-in-home-delivery-meal/">balanced meal</a> that is good for you, and will make you lose the pounds. So you won&#8217;t get bored both companies have big enough menus you can choose from, diversify the meal and eat only the things you like.</p>
<p>The question is how long are you willing to eat foods out of a container? No restaurants while on the diet, no eating dinner with friends. You have to stick to what they give you or the moment you go off the plan the pounds come back very quickly. You have not learned anything new and haven&#8217;t changed the way you eat.</p>
<p>So, as a quick fix, it works well. For the long run and for <a href="http://healthic.net/nutrition/understanding-your-body-needs-in-maintaining-optimal-health/">eating healthy</a> for the rest of your life (like the other diets suggest) it doesn&#8217;t work at all. You need to work out on Balanced Meal instead !</p>
