Crash diets (that works)

©malias

A crash diet is a diet which is extreme in its nutritional deprivations, typically severely restricting calorie intake. It is meant to achieve rapid weight loss and may differ from outright starvation only slightly. It is not meant to last for long periods of time, at most a few weeks. Importantly, the term specifically implies a lack of concern for proper nutrition.

So it's clear now what does a crash diet mean, or simply it means eating what you need to just keep surviving... Many people start this kind of diet to lose weight fast, thinking that it's safe, well unfortunately it's not. crash diets are bad for health and you will gain what you have lost once you take a break. they are not a solution to weight loss. It might seem as if you have lost few pounds but the moment you give up on the crash diet every thing will bounce back with a vengeance.

Real and permanent weight-loss is an investment in your future. Take a look at it that way, it's just like the difference between buying and renting a house, in the long run you know you’ll be better off buying, even if that means some compromises in the short term.

Just think about it.. is it possible for a person to survive on a crash diet for the rest of his/her life? of course not! So at some time or another, you will have to give up the crash diet and then you will see that it does more harm than good on the long run because the weight is usually regained quickly in the weeks that follow, as the individual reverts to their original pre-crash diet.  
Crash diets may have a lot to promise, but it doesn't work all the time and accept it or not it might be dangerous for your health..
People go for crash dieting when they have a special occasion coming up and they want to wear an old dress or something, it's not meant for a long term.
So the best thing to do is To Simply Avoid Crash Diets and to stick to the long term healthy diet.

Many of you are wondering wich is better when we are trying to lose weight coffee or tea, well till now there's no final answer to this question but most opinions are for tea, anyway, here are some few things that you should know:

1- Go easy on both tea and coffee, don't drink too much of them during the day.

2- don't add cream or sugar to your coffee or tea, or at least don't add too much, because then they become fattening, (they are harmless without). A cup of tea or coffee that has cream and cubes of sugar is as bad as having a big piece of rich chocolate cake.

Tip 5: Meat that is good for weight loss.

Meat is often served in the main dinner plate. Restaurant menus and home meals too are tipically organized around meat. Many meat lovers can't imagine a major meal without it. Meat is a good source of protein and iron that your body needs. BUT certain types of meat contain a lot of cholesterol, satured fat and calories.
As I said before it's much better to adopt a vegetarian diet, but if you're a meat lover and want to include it in your diet, always choose those lean and low in calories.

Selection:
1- Examine the meat for visible fat and marbling. Instead, choose lean meats. Look at package labels for ground beef and poultry. Choose meats that are 90 percent or higher in lean meat.

2- Carefully read labels for ground turkey and chicken as they often include dark meat and fat. This boosts the fat content and often lowers the lean meat percentage to 80 percent or less, about the same as you'll find in cheaper ground beef.

3- Avoid "Prime" cuts, as this means this meat is well-marbled.

4- Choose white meat rather than red. White meat, which includes fish and fowl, is miles better than red meat, which includes beef and pork .

5-Stay away from pork. Pork is not something that can help you to lose weight. The fatiness of pork is the reason for this weight loss tips. So the lesser pork you eat the better chances you have of losing weight.

6-pork includes the pork products, things like bacon, ham and sausages, so stay away from them aswell.

preparation:
Avoid breading or battering your meat, and avoid frying it. Instead, broil, grill or sauté the meat in a small amount of olive oil.Trim all visible fat from the meat before you cook it. Use marinades, curries or low-calorie sauces to moisten, tenderize and flavor the meat, rather than relying on the fat. Reduce fat further by making soups or stews a day ahead of time.

Poultry:
Chicken and turkey breast are great in in terms of nutrition, mild flavor that complements many cuisines and fewer calories than most meats. Always remove the skin to reduce the calories.
chicken breast without the skin provides 48 percent fewer calories and nearly 90 percent less fat compared to chicken breast with skin.

Fish and Seafood:
Fish provides quality protein and, in contrast to many other meats, it is low in saturated fat. It's also an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids, nutrients that lower cholesterol, reduce your risk of cardiovascular and offer numerous other health benefits.
Eat fish at least twice a week.
Eat water-packed rather than oil-packed tuna.
