What can you do to help yourself? Here are four small steps you can take to stay on a diet and help you lose weight:

Men and dieting don’t usually go hand in hand but men do have to be a on a healthy diet if they want to lose weight or maintain an optimal weight. All diets are not created equal and men and have a different set of challenges. There are specific diets issues for men to consider and overcome.

This is a challenge if you are trying to diet because alcohol tends to make you feel hungry, you reach for the snacks and as a result overeat.

How to Lose Weight on a Raw Food Diet

Posted by: By Stella Dee on February 4th, 2010 | Comments (2)

If you want to lose weight in a healthy way, then it might be time to look at raw food diet weight loss plans.

Believers of raw food diet weight loss programs say that it is virtually impossible to gain weight on raw food, especially if you are overweight to begin. For that reason there is no particular food plan to follow when you go raw. The only rule is that you do not eat anything that has been cooked or processed using heat over 115 degrees Fahrenheit. This automatically rules out almost anything that you would buy in a package or a jar.

Even people of normal weight who switch to a raw diet usually lose weight. The exception might be people who eat a very large amount of nuts. Even then, you will probably find that you lose weight in the beginning. If you hit a plateau where you stop losing for a while, you might want to consider your nut consumption and reduce it if it is very high. The raw food diet is sometimes criticized for having a high level of fat and the culprit is usually nuts. Read More→

Posted by: By Stella Dee on January 11th, 2010 | Comments (2)

Sticking to any kind of a diet is difficult for both men and women. However, three dieting issues are specific to women. These issues can make it difficult to stick to your diet plan, but becoming more aware of them can help you to develop strategies to deal with possible setbacks.

  1. Social issues: Women are known to hold social gatherings that are centered on food. And often these foods aren’t the healthiest of choices. You can overcome that by bringing your own healthier choices or hosting a party with a health-conscious theme.
    It’s also a good idea to try to have gatherings where food isn’t the focus. Try going to performances, museums, or having a game night where the snacks are the sideline, not the main event. Read More→
