If you want to lose weight quickly then the best diet for you is one that you can stick to & MOST IMPORTANTLY does not cause you to REGAIN THE WEIGHT AS SOON AS YOU STOP.
If you NEED to lose weight, then you probably also need to change your eating habits but BE CAREFUL!
Most VLCD plans encourage you to replace your meals with Soups or Shakes.
Even if a liquid diet is both nutritionally sound and adequate in calories, it can present problems. Our bodies break down & transport liquids faster than they do foods. This means a liquid diet might leave you feeling hungry constantly. In fact, liquids are known as “empty calories” because they do not contribute to a feeling of fullness. These constant hunger pangs might lead to a difficulty concentrating, making it almost impossible to stay on the diet.
Liquid Diets drastically reduce the amount of calories consumed; therefore the dieter's metabolism is slowed down to conserve energy.
Because of this, when the liquid diet is finished and the dieter returns to their normal diet, any weight that was lost can be quickly regained.
Side effects of Liquid Diets can include muscle cramps, anemia, dizziness, menstrual abnormality, and constipation.
ActiDiet VLCD encourages you to maintain a diet of CHEWABLE FOOD.
If you chew your food completely before swallowing it, the enzyme-filled saliva in your mouth will have already partially digested your food. In fact, enzymes contained in the saliva can be responsible for digesting as much as 40% of starchy foods before they even reach your stomach! The act of chewing and releasing saliva also stimulates the body to release the digestive juices in the stomach.
Chewing also triggers the initial absorption of nutrients, even whilst the food is still in your mouth!
Chewable food maintains a healthy digestive tract. Liquid food causes digestive shutdown.
Whichever diet plan you follow, once you have reached your target weight; sooner or later you will need to return to normal food.
By following the ActiDiet weight loss plans you will not need to fear the day that you return to normal food & your eating habits will already be on the road to recovery because we regulate: Portion Size, Vitamin & Mineral content & Calorie Count.
