Diet plans for weight loss

Egg Grapefruit Diet

Out of all the weight loss programs available on the internet the diet where you eat an egg and half a grapefruit for breakfast every day for a 3-day plan is one of the strangest we have observed. There are diets where you can eat as much as you want of cabbage and chicken soup, along with the master cleanse where all you drink is a mixture of maple syrup, cayenne pepper and water for several days.

Nutrition experts such as those writing for Mayo Clinic in Rochester Minnesota advice against fad diets and any meal plan where you go on it for a short time and then go off. This kind of diet may help you lose a few pounds quickly, but that weight loss is not permanent. More advisable is a diet you can stay on for life, that fits your own lifestyle, includes physical activities and exercise, and also suits your budget. What good is a diet that includes foods that are not available to buy where you live all year round?
