weight loss programs

There are so many different ways to lose weight and I do have my favorites like cutting carbohydrates. After working with my personal training clients for over 25 years; however, I know cutting carbohydrates might not be the best weight loss option for everyone.
For a number of my clients including myself, keeping our carbohydrate intake to no more than 150 grams per day (600 calories) by eating mostly vegetables and a couple of fruits along with intermittent fasting, is the easiest way to control our weight. However, I have had many clients and friends lose weight with all different types of diets over the years. Some of them were reasonably healthy and some were not. You have to find a diet, an exercise program and a healthy way of life that works for you. With that in mind, I came up with a number of diets on the internet that you might want to checkout if my cutting carbs-intermittent fasting diet is not for you.
1- Bill Phillips Transformation Solution: the transformation solution diet is getting a lot of buzz on the internet lately. Bill Phillips wrote a #1 NY Times best-selling book about weight loss and body transformation a few years ago called Body-for-Life. I have reread this book many times and it really is a great exercise and diet to follow. That book and program had a cult like following, similar to the P90x program that is so popular today.
Anything that Bill puts out is high quality and I’m sure this program will help tens of thousands of people lose weight. Click this link to The Transformation Solution and checkout the program for yourself.
2- The Diet Solution Program: the diet solution program is one of the most popular diets for women on the internet. Isabel De Los Rios, who is a certified nutritionist and exercise specialist who has helped over 25,000 people all over the world lose weight, created the program.
The majority of the foods recommended in The Diet Solution Program are wholesome, natural foods, such as:
· Organic eggs
· Natural meats & poultry
· Wild fish
· Fruits & vegetables
· Raw nuts
· Natural oils
· Natural grains
Checkout the The Diet Solution Program’s web site. It has a great video explaining the diet and also gives a lot of great free advice on how to eat healthy.
3- Fat Loss 4 Idiots: fat loss 4 idiots is another very popular diet on the internet. It talks about how:
· Low fat foods don’t work
· Low calorie diets don’t work
· Low carb plans don’t work
· States that Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig diets are too slow
This diet is based on eating the right foods at the right time of the day. The diet looks at food like medicine that should be prescribed in a certain way to lose weight. Checkout the Fat Loss 4 Idiots web site for more information and a detailed description of the weight loss plan.
4- Eat Stop Eating: This is one of my favorite weight loss programs. I have recommended this intermittent fasting program on this blog many times because it really does work. I have found fasting to be one of the easiest ways to lose weight especially if you don’t want to give up eating all your favorite foods.
I learned a lot about fasting from Brad Pilon the creator of the Eat Stop Eating Program. If you are serious about losing weight you have to checkout his program.
5- Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle: Tom Venuto’s Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle program has been one of the most popular weight loss programs on the internet for years. He has helped over 200,000 people lose weight. Bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts really like his program. He takes a very scientific approach to weight loss.
Tom has been a 7-time natural bodybuilding champion and practices what he preaches. It’s worth clicking the link to the Burn the Fat Feed the Muscle program just to see the video Tom did about how the program works. There is a lot of good free information there plus some other free giveaways.
We all know that there is no one size fits all diet for everyone. I hope these five online weight loss programs will give you a few more weight loss options. Make sure you check them all out at least for all the free information and giveaways on the sites. Some of these sites give away so much free information you might not even need to order the program.
