 This blog, the best diet for you, is put together because I don’t believe that there is one diet which is made for everyone. In the course of my life I have lost more weight than the weight of the average person. And for this reason, I have a lot of personal experience when it comes to dieting. There’ve been times in my life when I was doing asplit routine, going to the gym six days a week, three hours a work out and there have been times when I only did yoga for exercise.

I guess my obsession with diet began when I was in college. I was working as the chief of maintenance at a Ramada Inn to pay for my 10 years of college, and while sitting in my office one day, I suddenly realized that while I had taken vitamins regularly for years, I had no idea what they were. After about a quarter of a million pages of study I learned all about fats, proteins, carbohydrates, enzymes, minerals, and a whole bunch of other things that I hadn’t even realized existed. At that point I invented a diet. This may have been the perfect diet for me, and it produced miraculous results. I must have had hundreds of requests for my secret. Well the essentials of the diet were: 1) first calculate the amount of protein that should be consumed by a person who weighed your desired weight. 2) now adjust the fats and carbohydrates to that amount of protein, according to a formula that I had derived. 3) now do a bunch of other things that I don’t remember such as take polyunsaturated oil and lecithin with every meal.

Now the problem with this diet was that in those days computers filled entire rooms, instead of desktops. The amount of math required just to figure out what to eat for one day dissuaded every person that eagerly asked me for my secret. Maybe I was ahead of my time, it wasn’t entirely unlike the zone diet which came out 20 years later, but the problem was it was too complicated to be followed by the average person.

In choosing a diet you have to select one that you can, and will follow. It could be the greatest diet in the world, but if you don’t do it — so what. Now their are a lot of workable diets, but they all have different degrees of workability for each person. There are a lot of reasons for this, some as simple as if you don’t like meat don’t try to do the Atkins diet. Some are more complex, such as food allergies, for example I’m allergic to bread, or more precisely gluten, so any diet that included bread for sandwiches would not work very well for me. And some people’s metabolism just work better with one particular diet than another.

The point is that when you’re looking for the best diet for you, it is important that you gather all the data and sift through it until you find a few choices that you like. Then you need to try them and see how they work, because in my view point every body is different. You really never know what will work for you until you try it. I remember arguing one day when a coworker told me about a low carbohydrate diet. I had never heard of training your body to use fat before, so I laughed at her. I just couldn’t see how something like that could work.

Shortly thereafter, while thumbing through a copy of “Muscle and Fitness” magazine I saw an article where the author talked about getting in shape using the low carb meal plan. Now while the magazine publisher was very sure to put a disclaimer after the article, I began to think that there just might be something in my coworker’s argument. In searching for data, I found the “Anabolic Diet”, a diet developed by Canadian doctor as an attempt to help natural bodybuilders. I decided to try it because I had put on a little weight. I lost 60 pounds in three months, but at that point something went out with my metabolism in the diet stopped working for me. Since I had about 180 pounds of lean body mass at the time, it didn’t really bother me, but I did find it interesting.

To this day I’m not totally convinced that low-carb diets are good for you in the long run, but I do have to have to admit that they probably are one of the most effective diets for losing weight. But again that was for me, I had a friend who tried a low-carb diet and couldn’t do anything but gain weight. so when anyone tells you that their diet is the absolute best diet for everyone, take that with a grain of salt. I don’t believe that such a diet exists. Now since I’m a very curious person, I would actually love for someone to prove me wrong on that.

So what I will be doing in this blog, is to attempt to present you with all the information so that you can find the best diet for you.

Now this diet is most like the diet I invented in the early 70′s, except that the Zone Diet is loosely considered a low carb diet because it is lower in carbs than most traditional diets and it does help the body burn fat more easily. Sears had a broader purpose in mind when he developed the Zone Diet however, he was looking to use food as medicine. According to Dr. Barry Sears eating your foods in the 40/30/30 ratio will actually balance your hormones and provide greater health and improve athletic performance. If you read his book, you will see many impressive trials where athletic performance with increased using the zone.

There have been many successes, and a lot of people swear by the diet. Most of the diets critics are critical because the diet is difficult to follow, and not because of its ineffectiveness. I however, was impressed with how simple Dr. Sears made the diet. Remember, that many years before I had invented a somewhat similar diet with far less noble purposes, and people found that impossible to follow. Here uses techniques like, “make a fist”, in order to determine the size of the meat portion. He looks for approximation not precision, which makes his diet quite user-friendly. If however you get into precision in trying to keep the proportions of the fats, proteins, and carbohydrates in the exact ratios, you will go crazy.

Among the successes, the greatest has to be a man named Uribe, who lost nearly 1000 pounds using the zone diet and the assistance of doctors. Many celebrities have done the diet, but then again, celebrities are always doing diets. Below is a video of what a nutritionist has to say about the diet.

You might note, that the nutritionist and I share the same viewpoint about a perfect diet for everyone, but the zone diet is designed to be a very healthy diet that could be followed for the rest of your life. It’s drawbacks of course include having to plan each meal so that you get 40% carbohydrates, 30% protein, and 30% fat, and also there is the fact that the amount of calories you consume in one meal is limited but it isn’t terribly low, and you can always eat several meals in one day. If the diet interest you you should click the link below to go to Dr. Sears site, where you can learn more from the guy who originally wrote the book.

In 1972 Dr. Robert Atkins published a book, The New Diet Revolution, and the Atkins Diet came into being. The concept of the low carb diet was born. There have been many variations since then but the fundamentals have remained the same.
If you ever studied biology you know that the bodies cells take sugars and turn them into energy, making carbohydrates our primary energy source.  If you eat too many carbohydrates and fats the body stores these as body fat to be used later in case of an emergency. It usually takes a considerable effort to get the body to use this fat, making weight loss a bit of a balancing act- if you eat too little the body slows down its metabolism and hangs on tighter to its precious fat stores- but in order to lose weight you must use more calories than you consume.

The Atkins diet trains the body to use fat as its primary source of energy. Initially this is done by depriving the body of carbs and giving it abundant fat.  The body adapts by adjusting its metabolism to use fat and the body seeing that there is plenty of fat stops hanging on to its fat reserves making fat loss much easier.

Now this works miracles for a great number of people making weight loss easy, where they had struggled up to that point.  For that reason many people swear by low carb diets. There is much controversy over the long term health ramifications of the diet, primarily because we are talking about changing the bodies normal metabolism and the fact that the diet has an acidic effect on the body. Traditionally a healthy is slightly alkaline and intentionally making it acidic is not seen to be a good thing.

Now I personally have lost more than 100 lbs using low carb diets so I know that they work extremely well- at least for me.  I can not say anything about the long term health effects, but I have always felt very healthy when on a low carb diet.  You never get “hungry” because your body just goes to your body fat reserves when it gets “low” on food. So I definitely could recommend this diet for weight loss though  my vote is still out for making it a life style.  Many swear by it though so it can’t be all bad.

If would like more information on this diet you can go to the Atkins.com website

The book below will help you get started if you would like to give the Atkins Diet a try. If you like meat and heavy protein it is a great diet and as I said before it is very effective.  If you are like my wife and too much protein repulses you, I would keep on looking.

I lost my ass:-(

Balanced. 60% carb / 20% protein / 20% fat. Don’t skimp too hard on the calories, though…you’ll need to do some research to find out how many calories you need in a day based on a lot of factors (height / weight / activity level / age being some of them). Basically, if you eat healthy (as is no sodas, no fast foods, no alcohol) you’ll be on the right track. Combine that with weight lifting are you’re golden.

That along with plenty of exercise will do it.

Here is another episode in diet vs. exercise. Today in the diet corner we once again have Brad Pilon, this time he will be snacking on 2 espresso brownies each weighing in at around 300 calories and he’ll wash that down with a 700 calorie Starbucks frappacino.

Representing the exercise corner, I’m going to perform a series of 1-armed kettlebell swings with a 35 pound kettlebell.

As Pilon gulps down the frappacino, I am working very hard at a pace neither I nor any other individuals in the gym would typically go at. The point here is that individuals can mindlessly consume calories before and after meals and it not even register with them.

Now that Brad has finished off both of his snacks and consumed nearly 1400 calories, I have completed 60 snatches of the KB swings and burned about 50 calories. Although the kettlebell swings did burn a lot of calories, in a
short amount of time, it pales in comparison to the calories Pilon took in.

The results speak for themselves and t is very apparent that diet once again wins the battle in diet vs. exercise. This is precisely why individuals who go to the gym and work really hard for an hour are not going to burn fat if
they are consuming so many calories mindlessly. You just can’t out train a bad diet.
