Quit eating “just anything.” Do you know that the kind of food and drink you take have 75% control over your health? Each kind of food perform different functions and once taken, you have no control over what they do to your body system even with drugs. Therefore you should know what they do and what you want them to do before deciding on what should pass into your mouth.

Once your decision has been made on what kind of growth your body needs, then comes a food draft, or let me say a diet. There are over 50 kinds of diets according to the World Health Organization, and these diets are used for unrelated health purposes. Let me tell you what diets are.

What is a diet?

A diet is a map or plan designed from a draft for a specific health purpose. This map or plan is a fixed table that contains the type of food and drink (meal) that an individual must take daily. As I have mentioned earlier, diets are for varieties of health purpose such as; increase in weight, decrease in weight, and some diets are designed towards some specific lifestyles. There are two main types of diets namely; Balanced and non-balanced. The balanced ones are those which provides all the required nutrients needed for the body, while the non-balanced does not. Luckily, all the kinds listed below are under the balanced category, so feel free to choose the one suitable for your health/lifestyle. Read on, please.

How to choose the right diet and stick to it

You are what you eat, not the drugs you take. Choosing the wrong food routine will yield a wrong health result. Let’s take for an example this; I want to add some kilos to my body, my food routine must be designed towards that achievement, and it will be quiet different for someone who wants to do away with the extra kilos. How then can you choose the right diet for yourself?

For what purpose: Before deciding on a food table, be able to answer the question; what do I need a diet for? For weight loss or gain? For energy? For a lifestyle? Never copy a food routine, it may take your body in a wrong direction.
Health condition: Remember the saying; know yourself. Some few years ago, oil, salad, bagels, lemon juice, and plain pasta was evil for a person who wants to lose weight, and every year new researches keep popping into the headlines, restricting weight loss seekers to zero diets. Now, it is not by staying away from food that means diet. You must know your health, do you have obese or you are a victim of any other sickness? Have that in mind when deciding on a food routine.
Talk to your doctor: Let your doctor know your decision, show your food table with him/her for approval. By this, a confirmation is made about the result of the food table.
Finance: Will you be able to stick to the plan for the period? If not, then think twice else you may end up at the “eating anything “ zone
