Sometimes the best diets to follow are the ones that are the most customizable. Flexibility and the freedom to choose from a wide variety of foods make the dieting experience a whole lot easier. One of the primary reasons why most diets fail is due to the lack of flexibility, the rigidity, and the need for strict discipline, self-control, and curbing your cravings through self-denial.

If you can customize your own diet, then you will be able to make sensible choices while enjoying the foods that you eat. You will be less inclined to cheat on your diet. You will be less tempted to cave into your cravings. You will be less likely to give up. You will stay more focused and more motivated, because it is no longer about denial but about freedom.

For years I had questions about connections between the immune system, diet and disease. Through medical school and countless weekend seminars I learned about some of the most intricate workings of the human body. It is commonly understood by most patients and health professionals that our daily diet has an effect on our overall health and well being. Never did I hear exacting statements and scientific proof that explained HOW and WHY. Nutrition classes in schools teach about vitamins, minerals, proteins, fats and carbohydrates. For years (even long before I went to chiropractic school) I wandered from “here to there” wondering what the best “diet” might be. Obviously I am talking about a nutrition regimen and not necessarily about a diet to lose weight. Over the course of 12 years I tried every diet I learned about: the McDougall Diet, Fit For Life, Macrobiotics, The Atkins Diet, Fasting, even vegetarianism for 2 1/2 years! You name the diet and I probably tried it!

Ok here is the next very important idea I want to impress on you. Your exercise habit is a critically important part of your diet. If you are embarking on any diet plan, without creating an exercise habit, you are not serious about your diet or about losing weight in my humble opinion. Please feel free to prove me wrong, but let me explain.

You have heard it repeated a thousand times that most people who go on a diet eventually gain all the weight back, and more. You have heard about countless government studies which state that most people who go on a diet fail. (Though I try not to pay too much attention to these reports).

Here is one of the easiest ways that I have found to lose weight. You do not have to follow a ton of rules, and you do not have to buy a whole lot of groceries either. You may already have the main part of this diet in your pantry! I have done this for 2 weeks and lost 7 lbs without feeling like I was dieting. What is this main food you will be eating? Kelloggs Special K Cereal. Here is the plan:

For breakfast and lunch, eat 1 bowl of Special K Cereal.

As part of your effort to lose and maintain your weight, eating right is the key to long term weight control and living a quality life. This means you need to maintain a balanced and healthy diet.

One of the key nutrients for our body is protein. Protein is essential for our body to form structural components such as muscle tissue, connective tissues and the support tissue inside bones and teeth. And the lack of it will weaken the immune system, delay healing from injury and slower metabolism. It also helps to maintain your fluid balance, transport nutrients in your bloodstream, aid in blood clotting.
