Dieting for 2010
For instance, take a look at the program fees for three of the more popular diet plans(as listed in the January 2010 edition of Smart Money magazine ). This article briefly reviews the research on dietary intake and weight control, highlighting diet strategies that also help prevent chronic disease. During the last year I have put my own health on the back burner as I focused on the health of my mother, who passed away in September at 54 after a long recovery attempt from a stroke. One thing I have a learned from her illness, and death, is that I need to take better care of myself. Conventional wisdom says that since a calorie is a calorie, regardless of its source, the best advice for weight control is simply to eat less and exercise more. The plan costs include enrollment fees, one-on-one counseling, and of course, Jenny Craig branded food and other supplies. The good news is that many of the foods that help prevent disease also seem to help with weight control-foods like whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and nuts. Yet emerging research suggests that some foods and eating patterns may make it easier to keep calories in check, while others may make people more likely to overeat. Consume more than the body burns, weight goes up. Now that I have a family, and other mouths to feed, spending a lot of money on those same things seems like an expensive hobby more than an effort to improve my health. Looking at the various available diet plans through a frugal filter leaves few options. These ideas cost very little, and in some cases actually save money. But, it seems the years of eating cheap and working (and sleeping) through planned workouts is catching up with me. If I had to pick a commercial diet plan it would probably be Weight Watchers.

And many of the foods that increase disease risk-chief among them, refined grains and sugary drinks-are also factors in weight gain. And what about when or where people consume their calories: Does eating breakfast make it easier to control weight. Low-fat diets have long been touted as the key to a healthy weight and to good health. For chronic disease prevention, though, the quality and food sources of these nutrients matters more than their relative quantity in the diet. When people eat controlled diets in laboratory studies, the percentage of calories from fat, protein, and carbohydrate do not seem to matter for weight loss. But what about the type of calories: Does it matter whether they come from specific nutrients-fat, protein, or carbohydrate. This will definitely be an important element of the frugal diet plan I develop in 2010. Considering one 12-oz can of Coca Cola has about 8 teaspoons of sugar, I could eliminate significant calories and carbs simply by avoiding soft drinks. In studies where people can freely choose what they eat, there may be some benefits to a higher protein, lower carbohydrate approach. And the latest research suggests that the same diet quality message applies for weight control. Part of the problem with low-fat diets is that they are often high in carbohydrate, especially from rapidly digested sources, such as white bread and white rice. When I was younger, spending lots of money on gym memberships, bikes, creatine and other supplements, and high-quality food was pretty easy. So, like millions of others planning their diet of choice in 2010, I have started planning for a healthier me. I became convinced Dan Marino was full of crap. This concept focuses less on what you eat, and instead how much you eat. I tried NutriSystem for a couple months, but found it to be very expensive.
