P.O.R.N. Diets

I am coining this term as I feel some of the diets out there are so radical they need to be discussed in one place.

We here from our favorite celebrities daily and some of us live for this. We follow them on Twitter, talk about them on Bebo and MySpace or e mail each other about them especially when a new diet is talked about.

There have been some over the top radical diets in the past like the 'Air diet', not a very popular one for obvious reasons unlike the 'Chocolate' diet. Then there is the more main stream 'Atkins' diet or 'The Dash Diet' or even 'The South Beach Diet'. All have there plus and minus points and their advocates and nay sayers as well.

The trick when it comes to diets if there is a trick in selecting one would be to thoroughly research the topic. The mere fact that there literally are thousands of diets commercially available shown on television, billboards or even your local Chemist shop.

Here will be many, many articles pertaining to the topic of P.O.R.N. Diets circulating our media and your opinion on them is most welcome. Maybe you have been on one and would like to praise it or maybe warn others away from it. Whatever you may like to share, diet related, please do.

Eat Big and Still Lose Weight

By Barbara Woodward

This article will explain a variety of foods that are known in the weight loss industry as super foods or power foods. They help you lose weight without feeling hungry all the time following a fad diet.

Diet programs frequently cause people to feel constantly hungry and this makes the diet hard to keep to. It was due to this that experts all over the world concentrated on finding foods that would allow people to eat and still lose weight.

These foods are powerful when it comes to losing weight but they do need to be helped along with a proram of exercise if you want to see the best results. Add the exercise, nothing special, just a bike ride three times a week or something similar, and base your diet around these super foods and you will get results.

These foods boost your metabolic rate and therefore burn more calories throughout the day. This will result in you shedding the pounds! Let's take a look at them.

Green tea is the first super food/drink. It has within it, fat burning chemicals that will really boost your weight loss. Now it does not taste bad, but it does not taste really great either. However it is a secret powerhouse when it comes to losing weight and well worth the effort.

Another surprise when it comes to losing weight is peanut butter. Most people think that it must be bad for a diet as it tastes so good. It can be eater throughtout the day whenever you want and it will really help your diet because it is rich in protein. Protein encourages lean muscle mass building and in turn it will burn fat and calories. Peanut butter is also filling and will help suppress your appetite, another bonus.

Another nut, the almond is also a great super food. Almonds are a fat but they are a good type of fat as they contain important nutrients like fatty acids and protein. They assist in the burning of fat as they boost your metabolism.

Beans, black beans, green beans etc will really help to make you feel full and keep your apetite under control. A great problem with a low calorie diet is that you are left heeling hungry all the time. Foots like beans and peanut butter will make you feel surprisingly full all day.

Lean chicken and turkey meat is one of the best weight loss foods you can ever have because it contains a lot of protein and very little fat, and as you know, protein will build lean muscles. Lean muscles will help you burn fat by accelerating your metabolic rate!

Fish is wonderful for losing weight fast. Fish such as tuna and salmon contains Omega 3 fatty acids. Omega 3 fatty acids are good fats also known as unsaturated fats. A hormone called leptin stores fat in your body and caused you to gain weight. Omega 3 fatty acids reduce the leptin and when this occurs, you will lose weight!

Ensure that you get either tinned tuna packed in spring water and not oil, or buy it fresh, easy to find and quick to cook. At all times look for the healthy options.

Berries are another wonderful food - strawberries, blueberries, blackberries etc - as they suppress your appetire. Try making a smoothie from some berries, peanut butter and milk, just blend them over ice and your weight loss will really get a wonderful boost.

These pwer foods mentioned in this article are just a few of the types of food that are so efficient in boosting your weight loss.

I hope that you can now see that you don't have to starve yourself to lose weight. Get away from the idea that you have to stick to boring vegetables and salads. This type of food will not actively help you lose weight like the super foods will. You really need the proteins and the right sorts of fats combined with vitamins and antioxidants so that you can put your diet plan into turbo charge mode.

A little basic exercise program combined with these foods eaten every three hours during the day - much better than three large meals each day - and wathc those unwanted pounds disappear.
