Secret to Dieting Successfully
Weight loss - be patient
dramatic results can be achieved healthily in the course of a week but should not be expected. Fad diets can be dangerous, are invariably hard to stick to and just result in the weight being put back on at some stage.
 Secret to dieting and losing weight is in the genes, research finds:Lookiing for Diet pills for women that work CLICK HERE
The secret to losing weight could be down to a person’s genes rather than how strictly they adhere to a diet, research indicates. The secret to dieting could be in a woman's genes, research suggests.Some women are genetically programmed to have more success in shedding pounds through certain weight-loss schemes than others, a study has found. The findings could explain why some people swear by the fat-rich Atkins diet to slim down, while others do better by stocking up on carbohydrates. Researchers from Stanford University, in the US, made the discovery after taking mouth swabs from more than 100 overweight women who had tried various diets. They then analysed the women’s DNA for five genes linked to how the body uses fat and carbohydrate. The team found that women following diets that matched their genotype, or genetic make-up, shed nearly a stone on average over a year – almost three times more than the other women. These women also saw their waistlines reduced by 2.6 inches on average, compared with 1.2 inches, the American Heart Association's annual conference heard. Dr Christopher Gardner, of Stanford University, who led the study, said: “The differentiation in weight loss for individuals who followed a diet matched to their genotype versus one that was not matched to their genotype is highly significant and represents an approach to weight loss that has not previously been reported in literature.” He added that using genetic information would “be important in helping to solve the pervasive problem of excessive weight in our society”. The study found there was roughly a 50:50 split between those best suited to low-fat and low-carbohydrate diets respectively.

Eat more, not less
 To lose weight, and keep it off, you need to exercise, and increase your calorie intake to match your increased activity. If you are a 60kg woman doing high-intensity exercise for an hour three times a week, you should aim for around 2,300 calories a day, a 76kg man doing high-intensity exercise for an hour four times a week, should consume around 3,000 calories. Women should not dip below 1,500 calories a day and men 1,700 calories.
Don't cut carbs
Eat all the major food groups, with starchy carbs like wholemeal pasta making up 33 per cent of your diet; fruit and vegetables another 33 per cent; milk and dairy foods 15 per cent; meat, fish, eggs or other protein sources 12 per cent; and foods that are high in fat and sugar make up no more than 8 per cent.
Eat little and often
Eat three meals and two to three snacks daily. Eating every two to three hours will give you a steady supply of energy throughout the day, and prevent hunger pangs. Keep evening snacks light.
Eat slowly
You can lose up to 20lb (9kg) a year just by eating slowly. Your stomach starts to produce the hormones that tell your brain it's full after 20 minutes, so taking your time lets you to become full, so you are less likely to eat seconds or dessert.
Stay hydrated
Drink six to eight glasses, or 1.2 litres, a day and, limit alcohol. If you drink a lot of tea or coffee, which act as diuretics, you will need to up your water intake. Drink lots before and after exercise. Don't wait until you're thirsty. Keep a bottle of water on your desk to sip.
