The Skinny On Fat

Throughout my experience I have found that it is unreasonable to expect anyone to stick to a meal plan if they are constantly feeling hungry or deprived. Ultimately, even the most well intentioned dieter will fail if the meal plan is too hard to follow. The problem is that most of the popular weight-loss diets are too restrictive, either in the amount of food (you must weigh only a quarter cup of xxx and only 7 2/3 pieces of yyy) or variety of food (no bread, cookies, ice cream?) they allow. More broadly, in terms of diet plans, many high-protein diets require that you go for weeks or months without ever eating a real piece of bread (a ?carb?) or a fruit. Most high-carbohydrate, low-fat, low-calorie diets are too low in protein, which means that dieters on those plans will be constantly hungry.  Click here for full article.
