The Diet Cycle

You're fat and you don't know the reason behind the weight gain. You're 20 pounds or so over weight and you cried because you didn't know what went wrong. You did the diet, went to the gym to exercise and declined every night out party invites of your so-called friends. Little did you know that while you're avoiding all the calorific food and beverages, you secretly binge in junk foods and you don't eat vegetables or drink enough water to detoxify your body.

In your room, you try to fit all the sizes you bought last month but none of them would fit. You slam yourself on the bed and cried even more. You're thinking that your friends who haven't met you in 2 years will definitely tease you on how fat you are. And they'll be saying things like, "You need to lose weight and you should do a diet." They'll give you weird diet tips and then you'll get confuse on which one to choose. 

Thankfully that same day, someone advice you on doing a diet that would make you lose 10-20 pounds in one week. Excited due to the big results, you decided to finally do it. 

On your first day, you want to give up already. You didn't think it would be that hard and difficult. You wished you never threw all the potato chips, the delectable Italian pastas and the cheese you brought imported from some foreign country. However, you were able to pass the temptations and so you lost about 40 pounds in two weeks. 

Proud and amplified about your slimmer self, you went out shopping and started bragging it to your friends and colleagues. Two weeks later, you're not concerned about the food you eat anymore and so you started the gorging and purging cycle once again. 

After three months, you started crying and regretting  yourself once more. And then another diet cycle begins. 

  

The ATKINS Diet really does Work!

There are so many controversial issues about the highly well-known diet called the Atkins Diet. Some scientists say it's dangerous and some say that it's good for the body. But for whatever reason, I decided to try it for myself. 

I have always struggled on my weight ever since I was in Grade School. There's a time when I've been really fat and a times when I was really thin. And finally I got fed up with all the diet thing so I tried to skipped the low-calorie diet and decided to do the fasting, which is very difficult. I felt like dying during those times. I don't get to eat anything except water, juice and green tea. I was always in a bad mood.

Nonetheless, I was able to lose 40 pounds when I did the 30-day fasting. Sure, it was breathtaking to see yourself on the mirror looking so slim. But it did not end there. When I started eating again, I started gaining the lost pounds all over again. And like a starving elephant, I gorge myself into eating a lot of calorific foods and then after a month or so, I was fat again.

Fortunately, I read this article about the Atkins Diet. I was very interested and so I did more researches. There were so many positive and negative feedback from experts all around the world.

The result was astonishing! 

I lost about 10 pounds in one week!! The good news is--I didn't have to starve myself for the first time. I feel full everyday. Now, that's just amazing!! 

Today, I decided to stick to the Atkins diet until I lose the extra pounds and be on my ideal weight once again. A miracle like this, doesn't happen every day. 

Dr. Atkins was a genius! Thanks to him. I don't care about the negative feedback of the other people about this diet. There's still no enough evidence to full prove that it's harmful to the body,  and so I'm sticking to the Atkins Diet! 

Diet and Fasting: Just eat right and be healthy!

Admit it or not, dieting is just so very hard. If only you have the power to lose the weight while eating instead of gaining a pound, that would be really great. But the world is full of tricks and temptations. And the challenge to control oneself becomes hardly an impossible thing to do.

 Fasting is not really that bad only if you don't overdo it. Fasting is like a drug. It can be addictive if you lose control. That is why people who are too concerned about their body weight but are too lazy to exercise do this kind of crazy diet.

If you research about fasting, the health advantages are endless. But like any other things we do everyday, too much is definitely bad.

Food addiction can lead to complications and so is food deprivation. The human body can't always take too much of something that is bad and a person who is suffering from obesity and anorexia are quite in the same case. 

Thereby, the best way to be fit and healthy at the same time is not to do the diet. You can still lose weight by eating healthier food and exercising.
