Master Cleanse Pros and Cons

July 8th, 2011 by Inspector | Comments Off | Filed in Diet Tips & Reviews

Before you go on the lemonade diet you probably want to carefully weigh the Master Cleanse pros and cons. Every cleanse or diet has its benefits and drawbacks and the Master Cleanse is no different. The pros of course are the reason you want to go on the Master Cleanse in the first place. Many cleansers report improved health, great skin, lots of new energy and some decent weight loss as a result of spending at least 10 days doing the Master Cleanse.

Stanley Burroughs designed the Master Cleanse to be both the detoxification program and a reducing program, which is a fancy old-fashioned way of calling it a diet. Like any diet however you need to continue healthy eating habits if you expect to see your results stick with you. But one of the cons of a program like the Master Cleanse is that you can gain the weight back pretty quickly if you slip back into your old eating habits, partially because the lemonade diet is so low in calories. Depending on how much of the Maple syrup you consume you can expect to get between 600 and 1200 cal per day. Mr. Burroughs allows for adjustments to the quantity of Maple syrup for those trying to lose weight, so you may be getting even fewer calories.

South Beach Diet Phase 1 Shopping List

July 3rd, 2011 by Inspector | Comments Off | Filed in Diet Tips & Reviews

When starting a new diet it is important to know what can and cannot be eaten, what is and is not part of the diet. The South Beach Diet may seem a bit complicated on the surface with lists of what you can and can’t eat, but remember that only phase 1 is especially restricted. The South Beach Diet Phase 1 shopping list, however, will make it a lot easier to stick to the diet and get through phase 1 with flying colors.

This is the food list that you will want to refer to for your phrase 1 shopping and meal planning. I recommend picking a few different meals from the South Beach books that look interesting and simple to prepare and buy the ingredients neeed ahead of time. Then buy some additional items from the list to prepare other meals more spontaneously. It will also help to keep some of these items on hand so that you have healthy snacks and plenty of phase one acceptable foods when you get puckish.

The Caveman Paleolithic Diet

March 17th, 2011 by Inspector | Comments Off | Filed in Diet Tips & Reviews

If one of your goals is to maintain good health, a diet that works is essential. An increasing number of people have discovered the Paleolithic diet, so called because it is largely based on eating food that was commonly eaten during the Paleolithic era, which came to an end around 10,000 years ago. The diet is sometimes also known as the caveman diet, but regardless of its rather odd name, many who have followed it have enjoyed an improvement in their health.

During the 1970s, Walter L. Voegtlin, a gastroenterologist put forward the theory that human genetics have remained basically unchanged since the beginning of the Paleolithic period. One of his main points was that the typical diet back then did not rely on processed foods, sugar and high fat, but consisted mostly of meat, fruit, fish, vegetables and roots. Beacause of this diet, our distant ancestors were able to live surprisingly free from disease, a big contrast to today’s world with its high cholesterol, high blood pressure, obesity and heart disease. Largely because of these observations, the Paleolithic diet was born.

Dr. Phil’s Diet Review

July 29th, 2010 by Inspector | Comments Off | Filed in Diet Tips & Reviews

[ReviewAZON asin="0743526716" display="inlinepost"]Dr. Phil first became popular on the Oprah Winfrey show as one of her regular advice-giving guests.  In fact, he proved so popular that he now has his own show and he released his own weight loss book, titled The Ultimate Weight Loss Solution, in 2003.

Most people are already familiar with Dr. Phil style.  He’s very straightforward about getting to the heart of the manner.  In fact some would say he is rather abrupt, including me, and I’m not that crazy about his methods.  However, if you appreciate his style you may also appreciate his weight loss advice.

Why Can’t I Lose Weight?

July 29th, 2010 by Inspector | Comments Off | Filed in Diet Tips & Reviews

There are so many different things that can factor into not being able to lose weight and each one of them should be taken into consideration. Your eating habits all the way to health issues can contribute to weight issues.

Portion size is a huge factor. Have you ever paid attention to what an actual serving size is? When we sit down to eat a wonderful home cooked meal, instead of serving ourselves only a single serving size of each item, we tend to load our plates up. When you go out to eat at restaurants, unless they are very elaborate, they serve much more than a reasonable serving size of each item. Pay attention to that serving size. The portion size could be a huge factor in not losing weight even if you are eating all the right foods.

In fact, because so many of us have a hard time really determining the right portion size, this is part of what makes diet delivery programs such as Medifast, Nutrisystem and Diet to Go popular. Check out my Diettogo review if you have ever considered just ordering your diet meals as it makes choosing the right portion size effortless.
