The Unappetising Reality About Single Food Diet Plans & Weight Loss

There are many Diet Plans and Weight Loss supplements and the like out there, in fact the Diet industry is plagued with them. Dieters usually go with what they feel works best for them - a personal recommendation or from first-hand experience of seeing someone else lose the pounds before their very eyes. The truth is, dieting and its effect on our bodies is different for everyone, and what may work for one person, just simply doesn't cut the mustard for another.

Diet Plans that focus on one food in particular as the key to Lose Weight have a long and rich history. There's the grapefruit diet (circa 1930) based on the idea that a certain ingredient within the grapefruit that, when eaten with protein, will trigger fat burning and cause weight loss. There's also the cabbage soup diet, which promised a 10-pound a week loss - just as long as you stick to the rather meagre list of allowed foods on alternate days and two bowls of fat-free cabbage soup!

More recently, "cookie diets" have become a hit in the Weight Loss arena with at least three companies promoting their cookies as the key to Lose Weight, each boasting its own blend of protein to control hunger (these plans are really about restricting calories - not a magic ingredient that will make you lose weight). And let's face it, just consuming fewer calories, no matter where they come from, is going to result in weight loss. Eating cookies aren't going to control your hunger any better than polishing off a few fresh apples.

The truth is dieters should be wary of any program that requires you to get most, if not all, of your nutritional requirements from one meal a day. If you do decide this is the way to go, then it's important to make sure you take a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement along the way.

A good, healthy, calorie-controlled diet, together with a sensible fitness program is enough for most to really start to see results - as long as you stay committed to your goals. Taking a weight loss supplement, together with your diet plan can also be a great way to speed up your progress, provided it works and won't hinder any progress you might otherwise make without it.

With so many weight loss supplements it's difficult to separate the good ones from the bad. TheWayToLoseWeightFast.com is a good site I have come across that reviews and evaluates the top weight loss supplements in the industry and only endorses the ones that actually do what they say. Plus, it seems they have a set-up with the companies who supply these products to allow you to trial these supplements risk-free to see if they work for you. And there is no sneaky repeat billing either - which is great if you change your mind. You also get a free copy of their "Top 10 Diet Myths Exposed" to help you on your way.

So, cabbage soup or calorie controlled sensible dieting? (maybe with a little help from a good weight loss supplement). As much as I love my vegetables, I really think I would draw the line at having to consume a bowlful of the green stuff twice a day. And to be honest, I'd rather get some element of enjoyment from my diet than being completely miserable because of my poor choice of menu. Stick with variety, choose a proven supplement to help with your weight loss goals and get stuck into that diet plan and fitness program. It certainly beats getting stuck into a bowlful of cabbage!
