Diet Plans with Focus on Portion Control or Best

By Kristin Johnston

Many dieters are familiar with the so called yo yo or roller coast diet. The phenomenon of cutting weight only to gain it back in a cycle with no long term weight loss.

Many of these people are committing a crucial mistake that makes it almost impossible for them to be successful. Their mistake is not focusing on portion control. Portion control is the amount of food they are eating.

Everyone understands that eating can lead to weight gain and over eating almost surely will yet most of us do not take the time of effort to ensure that we eat the correct amount. It is important to set daily eating limits and to records daily consumption to ensure those limits are maintained.

It is understandable that many people do not want to take the time or the energy to write down their daily food intake but it can be an incredible important step. It allows you to know exactly how your body reacts to specific foods and meal plans. If you are not already in the habit of making a note of what you eat and when you should start.

Even if you have a daily target for food and calorie consumption but do not write anything down you can benefit a great deal from he extra step. Many people do not realize how between meal snacking and sugary drinks can add up.

Some diets, such as Weight watchers, do instruct dieters to keep a close eye on the food they eat and the calories they are consuming. These diets are built around strict guidelines for the types and amounts of food to eat. Many people find this helpful when trying to plan out healthy food and snack options for the day.

Many of these plans also require a food journal or diary as a means to track what is being eaten. This step really helps many people lose weight by understanding what they are eating.

Many people who have failed in diets before do not realize how much they were actually consuming while on "diets" in the past until they began keeping accurate and detailed records of their eating.

Keeping a food journal can also help you to understand how your body reacts to different diets. Not everyone alive will lose weight on the same diets, every diet effects every person a bit differently. If you know exactly what you have been eating you will know exactly what food has caused you to lose or gain weight. - 17274
