Healthy eating for weight loss provides you with the ideal way to have radiant health as well as an enviable body weight. Losing weight this way is easy as you don't have to starve yourself or count calories.
The disadvantages of many weight loss programmes is that they don't consider your long term health. They mislead you into focusing on counting calories, or not combining foods or some other difficult-to-implement practice.
Let's consider counting calories. If you just focus on calories, you could be eating all the wrong foods. You may be able to lose the odd pound/kilo, but in the process you are likely to be starving. It's highly unlikely that you will be able to maintain this (meagre?) weight loss.
Another common diet is the combining diet. Practically speaking this can be difficult to implement if you eat out at all. It can also lead you astray regarding your long term health, as it doesn't keep you focused on consuming the healthiest foods.
A low fat diet is invariably badly used and contributes to a worse situation afterwards. It can get you into bad habits and your health suffers as a result.
Although the Mediterranean diet has some virtues, it advocates a high consumption of a very unhealthy food. Because of this, many common Mediterranean diets are extremely unhealthy, contributing to an array of health disorders.
None of these diets are giving you the space to adapt to your personal needs.
So the first thing you need to understand is what the unhealthy foods are and why. Then you need to know what the healthy foods are. Within this, you can personalise your requirements according to your blood type or your preferences. There is no need to starve as you can eat as much as you like.
You can try different approaches to see which one suits you best.
When you eat healthy food, your body is being nourished. Cravings and perpetual hunger are a sure sign that your body is not being nourished. It is crying out for real food it has never had. Fat people are more likely to be poorly nourished than thin people. Their 'greed' is more a desperate need on the part of their body to get something nutritious.
Healthy eating for weight loss combines the needs of your body with the needs of your mind - perfect health and a slim, lean body, the envy of your friends.
