Some people lose weight because of protein diets.

Protein diets are recommended especially for energetic people with more physically activities daily.

There are some risks regarding this diet, especially when it is taken from magazines, books or friends. An expert doctor should monitor your and the way your body acts due to proteins diet.

Protein is a nitrogen compound, rich in phosphorus, which consumed in large quantities, will decrease calcium from body.

Usually the causes of obesity are: overeating and insulin.

An unbalanced diet, with foods rich in sugars that are quickly assimilated (white bread, desserts, too cooked foods), alcohol consumption which make insulin production to increase dramatically, represent the main factors that lead to obesity.

To obtain an ideal weight we should limit our consumption of fat foods and opt for foods that favor fat elimination.

An example of this is the pectin, existing in fruits and vegetables. Pectin has a dual role: captures a portion of fat in order to remove it before being assimilated and delays the sugar absorption, which prevent weight gain.

Diets without fats:

All foods contain fats, and this may be the main cause for weight gain and obesity. Fats can be significant removed if you follow the next tips:

- avoid to eat butter, margarine, salad dressing, mayonnaise, peanut butter. Instead to eat these fat foods use sauces resulted from mixing of fruits and vegetables;

- avoid fried foods and fatty foods used as snacks, for example, french fries;

- all types of meat that contain excessive amounts of fat should be avoided;

- milk, milky products and cheese are rich in fats;

- eggs contain much fats and proteins.

When we see adds like: "Lose 10 kg in one month. Guaranteed! Try a new weight loss formula", we are tempted to believe that this new formula will help us to lose weight.

Wrong! A healthy weight loss is always based on healthy foods, plenty of water and workout.

Today, weight loss pills are used more and more. A lot of them are containing diuretics, so the water from our body is eliminated.

Because our body represents 70% water this weight loss pills easily help in water elimination.

So, some water kilos will be lost. Few days you will believe that the pills were useful because you lost some weight due to water elimination.

After a period, the body must be re-balanced, recovering the lost water and also, the lost weight is regained.

Obesity damages the health and shortens the life.

The transition from one to another weight loss diet is bad for the body, because it depletes tissues, especially muscles and bones, and weakness the body, becoming susceptible to diseases and even unable to get rid of fat excess.

Fat people usually adopt diets that have helped others people to lose weight.

This doesn't mean that the effect is the same.

Weight loss programs fail mostly because they are only temporary solutions for some long time problems.

Most people after the finish of their weight loss diet take again their regular foods and their old lifestyle habits.

After few months the person who followed the diet will regain the lost weight usually with a surplus.
