Questions to Answer When Choosing a Weight Loss Diet
Your doctor and dietician will be the best people to consult when selecting a diet plan based on your individual health needs.
Some questions you need the answers to in advice include:
- What diet is best for my health needs and past health history?
- What is the safest diet for me to lose weight effectively?
- Am I willing to be patient and committed to my weight loss journey?
Below are some of the top diets suggested by professionals in the industry.
Ketogenic Diet
The Ketogenic (keto) diet is a high-fat, low carb diet that focuses on sending your body into ketosis through protein focused and nutritious meals.
This is an effective diet if adhered to strictly (that means no cheat days!)
Paleo Diet
Follow in the footsteps of our Paleolithic ancestors with this diet that is focused on eating only what they would have consumed decades ago.
This includes a focus on vegetables, fruit and protein and excludes things like salt, sugar, dairy and grains.
Naturally, this diet requires a lot of meal prepping and research which your doctor can help you with.
Intermittent Fasting
Intermittent fasting varies from person to person but the general idea in this diet is to help your body get stronger by controlling the hours in your day when you eat and when you are fasting.
This can be a challenging diet for people with a history of an eating disorder or type 2 diabetes and is generally not recommended.
