Weight Loss Systems

If weight loss is at the top of your priority list, the National Institutes of Health has identified a variety of diet plans, or weight loss systems, that are in existence today. Understanding these various diet programs can be the first step to losing significant weight.

The "fixed menu diet" tells you exactly what you will consume over a period of time. This makes it easy on the dieter, because he or she does not have to shop for their own food. The disadvantage to this type of diet is that the dieter fails to learn how to choose food for himself or herself.

The diet food provided to you can be quite bland and unexciting. If you travel a lot, you may also find it difficult to follow the diet plan when you are traveling. Ultimately, a number of medical experts recommend replacing the fixed menu diet with another plan in order to keep yourself healthy.

The "exchange diet" allows you to choose your food from a number of different food groups. For example, from the starch group you could select pasta, rice, or potatoes. By being able to make selections, the exchange diet offers a good deal of variety. You should be no problem following this diet while on vacation or traveling. This diet enables you to learn how to make healthy choices for yourself.

Next up is the "formula diet". The formula diet is where you will be drinking your breakfast, lunch, or dinner, or a combination of the meals. These liquid formulas are often filled with proteins and carbohydrates and have little in the way of fat. The formula diet is convenient and can be economical. However, such diets are low-cal, and they often lack valuable nutrients. In addition, they may be unsuitable for long-term weight loss.

The one exception to the formula diet would be the Leanology nutritional shake. Leanology Nutritional Shakes are the ideal meal substitute. They have half the calories of an average meal, they taste great and help you lose weight. They are scientifically formulated and physician approved.

You can drink a shake once or twice a day as a low calorie, well balanced, nutritious meal substitute. They are quick and easy to prepare, and help satisfy your hunger for hours. Each shake contains great nutrition – a perfectly balanced combination of good, wholesome carbohydrates, proteins and fats (40/30/30 ratio), plus a healthy mix of fiber, vitamins and minerals (including Omega-3 and soy).

The Leanology Nutritional Shakes are nutrient based and stimulant free. These delicious shakes will help you replace high calorie meals. You'll be able to lose the weight, and gain the rewards of a healthier, more fulfilling life!

The American Dietetic Association maintains that it is possible to lose weight using a number of different approaches. Because of the variety of diets available--and the confusion over which ones are truly effective--some physicians recommend consulting with a dietitian in order to obtain a personalized weight loss plan. In this way, you can rely on expert advice for your meal planning.

The plan can also be individualized to meet your unique nutritional needs. Generally speaking, health experts say the best weight loss programs combine diet with exercise. In this way, you can ensure that your body is using food efficiently. You can build up your strength and muscle tone, becoming more fit in the process. If you have serious questions about the best way to go about weight loss, it's best if you talk to your family doctor.
