Why Every Diet Works.
The 5:2, Keto, Slimming World, Weight Watchers; they all WORK! But why do they work?
The reasoning behind it is simple, it's because they make you subconsciously watch what you are eating. I have tried pretty much every single diet out there and I've lost weight on them all.
A diet that sticks in my mind and is at the forefront of current UK media is Keto. When I went on a Ketogenic I GOT SHREDDED! But the reason behind me getting super shredded on Keto wasn't because it's some kind of superior super diet. It was because I started to check the nutrients of every food I ate before I put it in my mouth. Chocolate; can't have that, it's got carbs in. Pasta; can't have that, carbs. Milk; can't have that, carbs again. You get the gist!
Weight Watchers, another diet I got shredded on. Why? Because I was checking how many points a food was before I ate it!
However, as I've become more educated and knowledgeable I've learnt that I can pretty much eat whatever the hell I want as long as I'm consuming fewer calories than I'm burning and I'm getting adequate protein (which for me is about 1g per lb of bodyweight).
Some days I might get 50% of my calories from carbs and only 10% from fats and on other days it may be completely opposite, just dependent on what I fancy.
When dieting to lose fat it's always seemed obvious to me to eat the most volumous foods, so fruit and veg play a massive part in my nutrition when dieting.
