Whats the best diet for losing weight?
The best one is the one which offers a style of eating that you enjoy and find no problem in eating for the long term. Low GI (glycaemic index) diets are good because they are balanced and healthy. They involve basing meals around carbohydrate foods like oats, rye, pitta and multigrain bread, pasta and new potatoes which are digested slowly (low GI) and so keep you feeling full and help your body to burn fat; regular servings of lean protein foods like low fat dairy and lean meat and fish plus plenty of fruit and vegetables. That said some people do well when concentrating on slightly larger servings of protein foods and having smaller servings of carbohydrate foods. It is important to find a style of eating which you really love and which fits in to your lifestyle.
