Diet Plan - which diet plan?

There are so many weight loss diet programs to choose from but which one is the best one. Despite all the hype about Atkins Diet, South Beach Diet and others such as fad diets that come and go most diet experts recommend a balanced approach that does not include any eating extremes. A diet that is low in saturated fats and refined sugar with the right balance amongst carbohydrates, protein, vegetables and fruit. A gradual drift away from your current eating habits towards a healthy balanced diet is the best way to lose weight and to maintain your weight at the right level.

Here are the main problems with out diet now:

We eat too much fast food which is loaded with saturated fat.
We consume too many soft drinks that are loaded with sugar.
We don't eat enough fruit and vegetables that are loaded with fiber.

Allied to a lack of exercise this type of diet is the the main reason why obesity is rapidly becoming the most serious health problem in the Western World

What should you Look for in a Good Diet ?

In a word - BALANCE.

It should contain foods from ALL food groups - including carbs.
We need good carbs such as fruit, vegetables, pasta, rice, whole wheat bread, grains and cereals. Not only do these foods provide energy but they also provide absolutely essential nutrients. Your diet should also include good fats - but in moderation. These fats should be monounsaturated and polyunsaturated and not animal fats.
