I’ve been on a diet in an attempt to lose weight before it starts warming up. While may people think to lose weight you have to starve yourself and run until you puke, it doesn’t have to be that way if you really want to lose weight fast. There are actually a few practical diets that will help you lose weight and still satisfied and it doesn’t require a monthly fee.
The Best Diets to Lose Weight
1. The Raw Food Diet – This diet basically will make you a vegan. You are only allowed to eat food, raw, unprocessed. This diet is very limiting and most people get sick on the first few days of losing weight through the diet. However, almost everyone on the diet has reported losing weight very quickly. The biggest problem with this diet is actually trying to get enough calories.
2. Pyramid Diet – This diet was developed to help meet the feed requirements needed each day while getting only about 1200 calories per day.
0-3 servings (use sparingly) fats, oils, sweets
2-3 servings (6 – 9 ounces) meat/protein
2-3 servings dairy
2-4 servings fruit
3-5 servings vegetables
6-11 servings bread/starch
Losing Weight Tools
A few tool to help on your journey include:
1) CalorieKing -Find out the nutrition of what you are eating, including fat content, and calories.
2) Calories in Various Food – A listing of common calorie counts in typical food.
3) Calories Needed Calculator – Calculate how many calories you require in one day to maintain your weight. Eat 500 calories under this to lose weight.
If you work online often it is really easy to gain weight considering the fridge is not far away, and lets face it, sitting on the computer half the day does not provide a whole lot of exercise.

I can relate to this article. It is so hard to lose weight, and so many people struggle with their weight problems all the time. This group reminds me of my book that has recently been published. The main character of my book is overweight, and also has many issues and struggles with her weight. But in the end she overcomes them, and finally manages to lose the weight that she subconsciously put on to protect herself from being hurt by love, which I think, is something a lot of people out there tend to do without even realizing it. Being overweight is not just about the physical, it’s also about what is going on with a person’s psychological issues. The main character also comes to realize the importance of healthy eating and fitness.
