I personally hate diets. Since you have to follow the rules a lot but here are some of my favourite;- 5 bite ♥
- ABC
- Fasting (not much of a diet)
This basically says it all in the name but if you don't know I'll explain... My own 5 bite diet techniques. There are many different rules to what you can and cannot have here's one;
For breakfast you could either have a low caloric drink (e.g: Coffee, Green tea, Flavoured tea) just try to stay away from the sugary option.
For dinner you can have anything , yes anything you want.. But you can only take 5 bites of it, this will help you learn your own self discipline and restriction.
For lunch its the same really you can have anything you want, (the same of different to dinner)
But at least one of the ten bites you will take should be high-protein..
Through your bites you can have anything example:
1 bite of chocolate
1 bite of fruit
1 bite of the (oh so tempting) pizza
1 bite of meat
Absolutely anything! But for this diet I think you have to have high will power and self belief otherwise with a bite could turn into eating the whole thing! You wouldn't want that would you?
ABC
This doesn't really give anything away in its name but if you don't already know, or you want to understand more about it, read on:
Personally I think this is the best diet that you can have real control over. You can pick however long you want it to last and the amount of calories you take in! The most popular one is a '50 day schedual' and the range of calorie intake is ranging from 0-500 and one day you can treat yourself to 800 calories!
You list out how many calories you can have in a 'random' order for example:
1st: 300
2nd: 500
3rd: 200
4th: 0
5th: 100
There are many ways you can do it, you may want to have a little sequence but random is best because it makes you metabolism more active since one day you can be starving and the next you can have 400 calories! By varying your intake number it 'supposidly' tricks the body into thinking that its being confronted with a food shortage (which stops the "starvation mode". Soon your body will think of having '400/500' is a lot whilst having 200/300 is a normal amount. This diet does include self discipline and to resist temptations of eating. You shouldn't change your plan either example:
If you feel as really hungry on a certain day don't do
26th day:
This would become an occurrence and you wouldn't really be fulfilling the effects of it! There isn't a fixed amount of weight that you can lose from this since everyone's calorie intakes are different but its been said to be really good. This is my next diet to do.
Fasting
Well to be honest this isn't really a diet and its pretty easy to understand and to explain. I'm sure everyone knows what to do but if your that one person that doesn't here it is:
Basically you pick an amount of days you don't want to eat for, the most common is a week, I've tried this many times and failed many times. My own opinion is this is the hardest of them all! Restricting yourself to not eat ANYTHING! You need a lot of will power, determination, self discipline to do this. I normally just fast over the weekend since its easier to do it then normally I'm busy and doing things day and night.. but throughout the week I have school and parents to deal with. So this works best if you a really really busy person, you live alone, or/and you've left school. Unless you can get around you friends and parents without eating then your fine, really.
For the people that are going to fast its best to start off with a shorter period, recommended just a 1 day fast... to see how you cope (in fact its 36 hours - if you sleep 12 hours a night-) The second day is normally the hardest because its a new day but the third day is normally the best, you can start drinking juices then (but not alot) If your a '3 meal a day and snacking' person I would recommend trying a different diet first to get your eating habits lower but if you don't eat a lot anyway this should be 'ok'.
