In its most basic definition, a diet is simply the foods you eat. The foods you consume day to day, meal to meal make up your diet. The word diet also often refers to specific eating plans used for weight loss or weight management.
If you’re starting a weight loss diet, first you’ll want to determine why you want to lose or manage your weight. Is your goal to improve health, reduce the risk of illness, look and feel your best, increase energy - or perhaps a combination of reasons? There are so many benefits of weight loss! Identifying your motivation will help you stay focused on your goals and realign your mindset during moments of struggle.
Not sure what to eat on a diet? In general, a healthy diet is low in saturated and trans fats, salt and added sugars. It also includes fruit, vegetables, whole grains and proteins like lean meats, fish, eggs and legumes. Foods that make you feel full, like oatmeal, nuts and low-fat dairy foods, can make great additions to a healthy weight management diet.
Specific diets, like the Mediterranean diet or the Keto diet, have their own guidelines and emphasize certain food groups over others. There are many types of diets, and you’ll want to find one that supports your long term goals instead of only bringing about short-term results. You can also explore diet programs and brands, such as Atkins and SlimFast.
Find a routine that works for you – and just start doing it! Maybe you need to exercise with a friend or work out first thing in the morning. For an added boost during your workouts, energy supplements may help. After exercising, stimulate tissue repair and refuel your body with a shake or smoothie made with protein powder.
Diet and exercise are key in losing and maintaining weight. But certain nutrients can support healthy weight management in conjunction with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Supplements, like appetite controllers, fat burners and carb blockers, may be beneficial for weight management.†
