Popular Diets - The Diet Food List Model

Diet food lists have been around for quite some time. Dieting is difficult because most people do not know what is healthy. They need some guidance as to what foods are beneficial for their body and what foods should be limited or outright avoided. That is why so many people steer toward diets that provide a very detailed list of diet foods.Let's take a quick look at just three of the popular modern diets which take advantage of the food list model.The South Beach DietWhile there is no one standard list of diet foods for this plan, there are approved foods which are kept on a list which is updated on a regular basis. There are different food lists for each phase of the plan, with the phase one list being the most restrictive. This initial phase is designed to detox the body of sugar and other unhealthy substances and give the follower a jump start toward their weight loss goals.The diet list that goes with phase two of the plan is more lenient and is filled in largely by the follower themselves. They are able to add back in complex carbohydrates, doing it one at a time to determine how the body reacts to each addition. In this manner, an individualized diet list is created as they determine what gives them energy and what zaps their energy. Energy-inducing foods that make them feel good go on the approved list while the others are taken away.The Atkins DietWhile there has been tons of criticism and debate over the Atkins Diet, it is another low carb plan that operates off of a diet food list. While there is an Induction stage that is very strict just like the South Beach Diet, the lists of food for the entire Atkins plan are stricter with

 carbohydrates.This plan has worked for many people, but for others it has been heavily criticized. This may be because the types of foods offered on the approved food list tend to satisfy those who enjoy eating heavier meals with fatty meats and other sources of high protein foods. Unfortunately, that way of eating is not in line with many people's taste buds.Fat Loss 4 IdiotsThere are quite a few internet based diets, but this is one of the best. The plan makes use of a huge diet food list which is available online for plan participants, but it also provides a very unique menu generator that automatically creates meals and snacks from the approved diet food list. This makes it fast and easy to stick to the approved foods.The addition of the menu generator takes the Fat Loss 4 Idiots plan to a new level. It makes dieting easier and increases the chances that more people will stick to the approved diet food list for a longer period of time.The foods approved on this diet are extremely healthy and they are combined in ways that are satisfying and delicious, according to the follower's own taste buds. There are even ways to develop special diet menus with the generator, such as vegetarian meals.There certainly are other diets out there that make use of the food list model to some extent, and they all have their strengths and weaknesses. Look into them and find something that works for you!Popular Diets - The Diet Food List Model

Diet Food - Aren't All Foods?

Diet food has become a term used to describe foods specific to a particular diet(s). Pre-packaged foods with the diet plan's name on them have become a popular item. Food manufacturers, not wanting to miss out on a dollar, have joined in the game, also. "Diet" versions of most popular foods can be found on every grocery shelf. There are many forms of "diet" foods; such as "Low-fat", "Fat-free", "Sugar-free", "Low-Carb", "Low-calorie", or even "(Fill in your diet plan) Approved Food." So, what is a diet food really?

In reality, all foods are diet foods. Diet, by definition, is simply a way of eating. A person's diet is what they eat on a regular basis. Anthropologists use diet patterns to study people around the world. A vegetarian diet means consuming no meats. One who eats only seafood would be on a seafood diet (no not the classic; See Food diet.). A person eating only foods commonly found in the Mediterranean area would be on a Mediterranean diet. Someone who only consumed liquids would be on a liquid diet. Foods become a tool when they are used to manipulate the body's responses, such as weight loss.

Most low calorie foods today are processed food substitutes, often synthetic, making the food low-fat or fat-free, sugar-free, wheat- or gluten-free, or free of some other product deemed unhealthy by someone. Some diet foods are exactly like their non-diet counterparts with a simple substitution to lower the calorie and sugar content. A classic example is the use of artificial sweeteners in diet sodas. Another common substitution is the use of sugar and other sweeteners to improve the flavor in fat-free and low-fat foods. This leads to foods packed with empty calories (and often not much less than the original) but with less fat.

Many diet food companies use common tricks and sleight of hand to entice buyers to pick their product. Cutting portion size to reduce caloric content per serving is a common practice. An even sneakier approach used by some is the changing of the serving size on the package. This one gets a lot of people. A fat-free food package might list the serving size at 2 pieces equaling 20 calories while the regular version of the food lists 10 crackers as a serving for 100 calories. In this scenario, each unit only has ten calories but the lower serving size decreases the calorie content per serving so that it can be called a diet food. It is essential to read nutritional labels, don't just trust the big "Fat-Free" or "Low Calorie" on the front of the package. Low fat and fat free foods are lower in fat but may contain more calories because of the added sugar. A big deception for many is the "No Sugar Added" claim. This claim leads many to believe that this is a low sugar food. However, sugar itself can claim "No Sugar Added" because extra sugar was not added in the processing, but it is surely high in sugar.

Natural, whole foods make the best diet food. They can be incorporated into a diet easily and have plenty of essential vitamins and minerals. Diet food includes; fresh, tasty vegetables and fruits, lean cuts of meat and eggs, whole grain flour and oats, and other fibrous foods. The grocery store is full of diet foods that can be bought inexpensively. A food becomes a diet food once it is used in your diet plan. If a ten broccoli heads are called for in a diet, then broccoli becomes a diet food. The best diet foods are natural whole foods that the body must process and use as it was intended.
