Types of Diets to loose WEIGHT .. attractive enough? =D

In the dieting world, there are various types of diet, low carb, high carb diet, and even literally no carb diet.
These type of diets really do help one efficiently loose alot of weight in a short amount of time, 5 pounds a week, or can even go to certain extend to loose 10-20 pounds a week. However, this is not what we are really seeking, unhealthy diet for the sake of loosing weight? what  does it bring you anyways? an anaeroxic person? well, in that 10-20 pounds, 70% might be water, 20% muscle mass (lbm - Lean body mass ) and maybe 10% fats.

Going to the first type and also the most famous among bodybuilders,

Atkin's Diet ( Low Carb/moderate fat/ high protein diet ).

In this diet, Dr Atkin recommended a diet consisting of low carbohydrate intake along with moderate fat while maintaing a high protein diet. Basically, any high protein diet will work. Due to the fact that , every food has thermogenic effect, For example, if i consume 100 calories of proteins, 25% calories that i consume which is 25 cal will be burned just to digest the food. As for carbohydrate, it is definitely less thermogenic effect and the least in fats around 2%. Low carbohydrate intake to as low of 100g a day, or even lesser will bring the muscle glycogen level to a low level. As we all know, a given amount of glycogen can uphold roughly 2-3x of its weight. In normal liver, glycogen level is roughly 90g and 450g in storage for muscle. This is why when we exercise, we sweat and also loose weight if anyone of us take the initiative to measure. By consuming moderate fat consisting of poly-unsaturated and mono-unsaturated , this fats are consider healthy fat and fats like omega 3 and omega 6 do help us loose weight by regulating fat in our body.

Back to the atkin's diet and less on technical terms, by practicing atkin's diet, you might have a chance to go yo-yo diet or rather your body retaliate against you. Generally speaking, it is easy for an obese to turn to an overweight, a little harder for an overweight to transform to an average and it is even harder for an average person to transform to a lean guy, this process go on until one achieved the godly RIPPED body where the body has only 3-4% body fats. In the first few weeks of atkin's diet, you can easily see your weight drop tremendously and as you continue the same diet, your achievement will be getting lesser in terms of weight loss until rouhgly 3 months. As this is a diet, and not a lifestyle, you will be changing back to your normal lifestyle where rice and carbohydrate intake is increased. This will causes rebound of your weight like a yo-yo. Scientifically, our body adapts quickly,  when we provide our body with less carbohydrate, it will turn to other source to obtain energy, for example fats to produce keto bodies for our brain and heart. And soon, it will loss the capability of utilizing carbohydrate as efficiently as it used to . When excess carbohydrate is given, it is then stored as fats.

2. Ketogenic diets ( 0 carbohydrate/high protein/high fat)

From the name, ketogenic diet , we can know there, this diet plans clearly cut off carbohydrate, literally 0 carbohydrate and they feed purely on high protein and fats. However, there's a trick here. If you really want to adopt this diet, be prepared to stop eating rice for the whole life if not, you might have to change your weighing scale to one that have stronger springs.

3. High Carb/low fat/ medium protein diet

This diet is reverse or opposite as the atkin's diet.  This diet is similiar to the one we usually practice beside lowering down the fat level and increasing the protein. In one research, Chinese usually practiced this diet where high carbohydrate to around 500g a day is consume with little protein and moderate fats compared to Americans, who practiced less carbohydrate intake , and higher amoung of protein and fat consumption. However, research shows that the chinese have lesser body fat level compared to the Americans. So, i will lay down the decision to you to choose which one you want to have ?

4. Carb cycling ( alternate 3 low carb days / 1 high carb days)

This is my favourite, no offense though. In this carb cycling, high carb and low carb days are alternated depending types of carb cycling. Either it is placed according to the intensity of exercise on that day or in a fixed state. With this, i could replenish my glycogen level and i would have more lenient diet programme. So for the high carb day, i can have rice, breads anything i want as long as it is in my calories intake. The high carb days would also put a stop to your calorie deficit drought and boost back your metabolism and leptin level which further helps you to build LBM and also reduce body fats.

Generally, diets to loose weights are all having one thing in common, all of them exercise calorie deficit , where mathematically when you deficit by 3500 cal, you will loose 1 pound of fats. Conclusion time, this is just a various types of diet plans  to loose weight. However, we are talking about loosing weight and this loss pounds can be from water, fats and even muscle.The choice is yours, Choose whatever you feel is right and start loosing some inches.. =)
