Understanding your body: Discover the best diets that work for you!

By Brionna Kennedy

You hear about diet success stories all the time. You may wonder what the secret is, and why things aren’t working for you. Well, the likely answer is that you might not be adopting the best diet for your body and personality. With so many different diets out there, matching up what will work for your body is a must! Here are five examples of common attributes and diets that are tailored perfectly with one another.

DEALING WITH THE 5 DELECTABLE DIETS

1. On the Go – South Beach Diet

If you are a busy person who is frequently travelling around the world, a diet such as the South Beach diet, with rules and limitations, will make it easy for you to eat out. With this diet, you already know exactly what is allowed and what isn’t. Even though the South Beach diet limits carbs and maintains healthy alternatives, many restaurants have picked up on its popularity and have diet-friendly options on the menu.

2. The Minimalist – The Line Diet

This is one of the most basic diets out there for those who like to keep things simple and straightforward. You get a graph, pin your current weight, goal weight, and goal date, and plot your diet plan! Rather than focusing on your actual diet, focus on results. Weigh ins are what keep you on task; if you are above the line on any date, eat less. Below or in track? Perfect.

3. The Joiner – Diet Clubs

If you are a social person that can be re-energized and motivated by those around you, joining a diet club with built in support, check ins and guidance is the right option for you. These can be local in-person groups, or online communities as well. This is an easy avenue for those who need extra support; you can make friends who are having the same struggles and glean from their knowledge and experience.

4. Want Everything Now – The Juice Cleanse

Now this sounds like everyone, but if you truly are a dedicated task-master, then this will be a successful plan for you and your weight loss goals. Juicing is a healthy and effective way to lose weight, say the experts from Weight Wise, but is the best fit for those who have the willpower to stick with it.

5. The Cheater – The Day Off Diet

This diet would be a success if you truly think cutting out all of the good stuff sets you up to fail. By being forgiving and letting yourself have one day off a week to eat normally (not binge!), this diet will help you keep on track the rest of the week. It is sometimes seen as a slower diet when trying to reach your goal, but it helps you implement healthy habits while knowing that you can still enjoy and live your life when you need too.

There isn’t any easy diet. But understanding your own body, goals, and what works for you will get you one step closer to losing weight successfully. Everyone is different, and different ideas and habits work for them. The best idea to keep in mind is knowing the basics of dieting and how the right kinds of foods will help you along with physical exercise and some will power; the rest is picking your pace and which mode you want to get there with.
