What is the best weight loss diet available today?

Answer 1

The best weight loss diet is one that is nutritionally sound and that includes foods from all food groups. There is no one food that makes us fat. Too many calories and insufficient activity is what results in weight gain. There is no healthy diet plan that results in "fast" weight loss. Quick weight loss involves the loss of water and muscle mass, not fat. This "loss" is quickly gained back, usually in a week or so. The only "quick weight loss" is starvation, which is not healthy and not sustainable. Real, sustained weight loss is the result of taking in fewer calories than are used each day.
