A lot of fad diets rely on depriving the body of food, but if you look at creatures in nature you will see that you need to eat regularly for healthy dieting.
While you need to eat regularly you need to know about portion size in relation to your body for healthy dieting and this is relationship is explained below.
Understand the concepts of regular eating and portion control and you can enjoy healthy dieting, lose weight and never feel hungry.
Let’s look at these concepts in more detail.
3 meals a day is a man made concept
If you look at healthy eating three meals a day (or less on many diets) is not ideal, you should be eating five meals a day.
Some simple examples from nature will illustrate this point.
Bears are creatures that eat huge meals infrequently to sustain them. They carry a lot of body fat to feed them over time i.e they are binge eaters.
If you look at animals such as dear, elk and horses they graze and have similar proportion of body fat to humans.
These animals are eating every few hours, our ancient ancestors did and you should to for healthy dieting.
There are reasons why you should, that are linked to our body and how it functions.
By eating frequently you achieve the following:
1. Eating frequently prevents hunger pangs and curbs over eating.
2. Eating more often keeps your metabolism working quickly so you burn calories more efficiently.
3. Food is also absorbed more efficiently and quickly when we eat regularly.
In affect you will feel healthier and have more energy as you will be using your metabolism as nature intended.
This is what healthy dieting is all about:
Creating the ultimate conditions to burn fat, in the most efficient way and never feeling hungry.
OK I can eat 5 meals a day how much can I eat?
Here you need to know about portion control.
Eating five times a day means you can eat enough to satisfy you, but its important to know how much you can eat in relation to your body size and there is a very easy way of doing this.
You can count calories, but let’s be frank who has the time or inclination to do this?
The trick is to use your hand.
A portion should be the size of your fist or the size of your palm.
Want a baked potato?
Get one the size of your fist
Want some fish?
Get a portion the size of your palm
Eat naturally for healthy dieting
Now you need to eat quality fat carbohydrate and protein.
The trick here is to eat “naturally from the earth” and avoid additives and sugar.
For example, a meal should contain the three groups how about Salmon, brown rice and veagatbles? Or maybe a baked potato Turkey and vegetables?
Follow the above and you can eat 5 meals a day.
If you are in a hurry make your other two meals up before hand, some nice tasty salads (go easy on the dressing) some rice and fish.
Other healthy dieting tricks
Make sure you eat breakfast (the most important meal of the day) and get as much fibre as you can, as a lot of it is not absorbed and passes through the body. It also makes you feel full and has generally less calories than other foods.
The other trick is to drink lots of water ice cold. Many hunger pangs are simply thirst pangs, so get plenty of water by drinking it ice cold.
Your body has to heat it to body temperature and you will burn 400 calories a week!
Now you have done the above you will feel healthy and control your weight as nature intended.
Don’t forget a bit of exercise and by this we don’t mean hours in the gym. Simply do some brisk walking don’t take the lift try and walk up the stairs etc
Add in some swimming or cycling twice a week, its not to hard and remember, we were not born to just sit around were active beings.
Healthy dieting made simple
The above diet tips will help you burn fat efficiently, eat as your supposed to, feel healthier and fitter which is what healthy dieting is all about.
Simply think about how we evolved through time and you will see the logic of the above.

im looking to lose a few pounds.i already have the work out part covered. but im a beast eater. i eat a lot of junk food. i want to start a healthy diet. meals that will help have a good nutrition.
Can u guys please offer me some meals and snack that i should eat. including the ingredients and recipe please? thank you<3
Try weight watchers.. they give you a list of healthy food and stuff.. here..
Hmm.. Weight Watchers actually works really well.
It doesn’t tell you what to eat, and it caters to your body type and everything..
There are two plans, flex and core.
The flex plan is easier, but still effective. You take a quiz, and it tells you how many points you should use a day. Then along with those points, usually around twenty or so, you get an additional 35 points you can use however you want throughout the week. There is a book that you get when you sign up that has almost all foods and their point values, along with a slider that you can manually figure out the point value.
The core plan is harder, but you loose more per week. You get a pretty long list of foods on the core plan, and you can eat as much of those as you please. You also get an additional 35 free points a week that you can spend however you want.
Another good thing about weight watchers is you record what you eat, so if you are over-eating, you will realize it..

I eat again at 3 a smart one and then I don’t eat again until 7 which is when I have dinner. I either eat golden spoon, tuna salad, or an egg with salad and a 45 calorie piece of toast. About thirty minutes later I have an apple and If im still hungry ill finally have pretzels or Quaker rice cakes. Dont forget to check the calories on everything you eat !!!!

i wouldn’t recomend a diet like weight watchers, you can end up getting quite a few nutritional deficencies if you stay on these diets long term and you will find that when you stop using the diet you will begin to gain weight again. The best thing to do is organise your routine so that you have a healthy diet and plenty of excercise without it taking over your life. Try and organise it so that you have a portion of protein, carbohydrate and green veggies/fruit with each meal. For example you might have a piece of chicken (protein) some roast potatoes (carbohydrate) and a green salad (fruit/green veggies) you’ll find that this sort of diet will fill you up without making you gain weight or making you feel underfed. AVOID SUGAR AND FATTY FOOD!
hope this helps

Hi!
Have you ever heard about "Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet"? Reading about it makes you wonder if they might not be on to something. The way the diet works is different than other fad diets that involve cutting out certain types of food like low carbohydrates, low fat or low calorie. Instead it uses calorie shifting foods that you would normally eat, increases the number of times you eat, and changes when you eat certain things for fast fat loss.
What is Calorie Shifting?
The way calorie shifting works involves tricking the fat hormones that are sent out by the brain. Every time you eat something, your brain sends out fat storing and fat burning hormones, depending on what the item is.
The idea is to send more fat burning than fat storing hormones, so that the body does not hold onto the fat for later use. If you keep confusing the metabolism, you will see fast fat loss, as much as 9 pounds in 11 days, that is the first weightloss principle of Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet.
How Does The Metabolism Control Weightloss?
This scientific weight control fact about the metabolism and how it works stems from our ancestry as cavemen, when there were famine periods between hunts. The body would store and hold onto fat for survival. The metabolism has not evolved from this self-defense tactic and doesn’t realize we can just run to the grocery store and get whatever we want.
On restrictive diets, weightloss can plateau when the metabolism thinks it is experiencing a famine period, and it will only burn what is taken in. Even on some of the popular low carbohydrate diets, it is advised to eat pizza for two days when your weight plateaus to get the metabolism going.
Why Do Some Weightloss Diets Leave You With No Energy?
The only problem with many of these restrictive weightloss diets is the metabolism goes back to only burning what you take in and many people complain about being tired and worn down, when it is mainly the metabolism storing up the energy for later.
By eating healthy, nutritious foods that are fat burning, the metabolism burns as much energy as you need. Many people on restrictive weightloss diets will regain the weight when they go back to eating normal foods.
What Is The Best Diet For Weightloss?
The best weight control diet allows you to eat the foods that you would normally eat, have in your refrigerator and cabinets. By timing when you eat certain foods, how many times a day you eat them, and balancing the types of food, your metabolism will burn what you take in and then some, because it knows you will be feeding it again shortly, instead of starving.
Prepackaged fat loss products and frozen dinners are not something you can live on the rest of your live. You need to understand the basics of natural weight control, and Fat Loss 4 Idiots Diet uses the fundamental principles of controlling the metabolism with calorie shifting normal foods you eat every day.
