RE: The Secret to Eating What You Want And Losing Weight: Part Two
Great topic! In my opinion, there is no one right diet for all. One type of diet may work for some but not for others. I agree that plant based diets can make one lose weight but I also know a lot of people who are vegetarian but are overweight. There is also a diet called ketogenic diet... a diet that is 70% fat and very little carbs. A lot of people who are doing ketogenic diet are not eating a lot of veggies but they have lost hundreds of pounds. I agree with you that cheat days are necessary. Without it, I think any diet can fail. :)
That's true. But I think there are general health and diet principles that always ring true.
For example, scientists have found what are called Blue Zones. Those are areas of the planet where people live to be 100 years old or older. They found about 5 concentrated areas. When they examined the people there and how they live and eat, they found several commonalities. First, they had diets that were mostly plant-based. This is really important. Second, they ate little meat. There are several other factors.
