What is a good diet

Heh heh. NO such thing as a good DIET. Diets don't work. You need to change and/or adapt your lifestyle habits in order to lose weight. Simply changing what foods you eat doesn't stop the habit you have. If you over-eat, or eat late at night, or you are a snacker, then changin the type of food you eat will not guarantee you weight loss.

The best diet is to eat what is closest to its natural state with the fewest preservetives and additives. For example, don't buy packaged food in boxes and cans, buy fresh veggies and fruits. Shop around the store, don't shop in the asles. IE deli, fresh fruit and veggies, pure dairy products, fresh meat etc. If you just do this much, you will cut your calories naturally and your system will begin to balance itself properly. Remember the more you cook something, the more of its natural value seeps away. If you shop around the edges, you avoid the fattening, bad for you stuff including chips, cookies, sugary cerial and everything.

Mrs. Faithful, I'm not sure if you are asking what is a good "diet plan" -- meaning a specific diet like Atkins, South Beach or (god forbid) The Master Cleanse; or whether you are generically referring to a "good diet" in the sense of what issensible, healthy and sustainable over the long-haul when it comes to nutrition and healthy eating habits.

If you are referring to the first scenario, as some of the answerers have already pointed out, temporary, quick-fix crash or fad diets are basically a one-way road to fat-loss and weight-loss frustration. No one should "go on a diet" -- they should instead learn about nutrition and healthy eating and make a lifestyle change (and often that's what it takes) to eat smart for their entire life.

Consider this: According to the US CDC, less than 10% of people who are "dieting" will experience meaningful, long-term weight loss. Those are pretty poor odds, and they say something about the types of eating plans people are choosing.

In my experience, the best "diet" is one that focuses on whole foods that are as close to how they grow in nature as possible. Avoid pre-prepared, heavily processed foods, fast food, excessive sugars and saturated fat.

Learn to cook for yourself, which is one of the most important skills if you want to eat healthy for the rest of your life. This approach is also known as "Clean Eating", which is one of the most effective, and sustainable approaches to improving your health and losing fat.

There are very few people who have adopted this approach who don't have dramatic results, although those results appear over months, rather than days (unlike fad or crash diets.) And because it's a change in your eating habits, Clean Eating isn't prone to the "rebound effect" of crash diets.

Try it and let us know how it works.

Best of luck -- Matt

Its more of a proper eating plan that resets your hgh levels.  It works really well, but is VERY strict but it does teach you proper foods and portions.  Its hard at first but works well.  It is a 12 week program that you can extend to 24 if needed.

I'm on week 8 and have lost over 20 lbs and I'm a "slow" loser!
