What is the best recommended diet to lose weight?
I’m wanting to lose about 15 to 20 lbs in a time spand of a month and a half. So I’m cutting my calories by 1,000 a day. Drinking water and crystal light mix drinks instead of soda. But is their a certain diet that can help me out more? I heard of the fiber diet, grape fruit Diet, acai berry diet, green tea diet.
But which one would fit my goal? It doesn’t necessarily have to be the examples i showed up above it could be something you would recommend.
fad diets always fail. Thats why theyre fads, cause once people begin to realize they dont work they stop doing them. Them the next gimmicky fad diet comes in and the whole process starts over.
Lower cal diet with lots of cardio is all you need. Any diet that focuses on one food in particular is a horrible diet. Just lower calories, limit carbs and avoid sugars and transfats.

p90x. and when your eating EAT CARBS! you need carbs to lose weight. don’t listen to the othe crap people feed you about "carbs are bad" and such. and instead of crystal light, pure water, and coffee (to satisfy hunger.)

I recommend following this program, it is a good old fashioned healthy way to lose weight!
1.stock up on fruits and vegetables– those have very few calories and DO taste good!
2.Drink water instead of soda or juice.
3.Try to eat whole wheat and potatoes. Those will keep your hunger at bay and not make you crave foods. Oh! But if you DO find yourself craving foods, have a small portion of it, don’t try to avoid it completely, because the craving will only get stronger.
4.make sure to pay attention to portion sizes too. it helps if you portion it out into a bowl that way you don’t find your self eating too much at once. or even portion out your snacks a week in advance so you don’t over eat.
5.you should record what you eat in a journal. calculate the total number of calories you eat per day and determine if there is any junk you can cut out.
6.to lose weight you might want to eat around 1500-2000 calories per day. DO NOT EAT LESS THAN 1000 CALORIES PER DAY!!!!!! Eating less than 1000 calories can actually cause your body to gain weight.
7.Eating healthy low calorie meals with LOTS of exercise will help you lose weight! aerobic exercise such as running, swimming, biking, or gymnastics is a great way to loose weight as well!
8.Get motivated! If ever you find your self not wanting to get up and go exercise, tell your self to get up and do it. Motivate yourself by thinking about how good you will look/feel if you just get up and do it!
9.another motivational tip, once a week, take a day off and reward your self with something special like your favorite restaurant or something sweet like dessert!
10.Don’t be afraid to drink tea, unsweetened tea has 0 calories and is full of antioxidants that will actually help you lose weight. There are also sweeteners such as Truvia that contain 0 calories and are good to add to tea if you like it sweet!
REMEMBER: to lose weight you need to have a good diet AND exercise program having only one will not do you as much good as having both!
this is a very easy plan to follow! as long as you stick to it! and don’t give up!
Good Luck!
