Maraming mga diet programs ang nasa market ngayon.
Sa sobrang dami nila, baka nalilito ka na rin sa kung alin sa mga ito ang pinaka effective.
Alin kaya sa mga diets na ito ang nababagay sa atin,? 🤔 Tara, check natin to! 👇
1. Low or Very Low Calorie Diets
Calories are a measure of energy in food.
Knowing the calorie content of food can help you achieve or maintain a healthy weight by knowing how a particular food fits into your daily energy needs. In order to lose weight, you must consume less energy than you use.
Low calorie diets typically range from 800-1500 cals/day and very low calorie diets (VLCD) are usually classified as under 800 cals/day.
Some commercial programs are accompanied by supplements and injections which are said to speed up weight loss.
Examples: HCG Diet, Dr. Bernstein, Medically Supervised Weight Loss
Pros:
Medical assistance and supervision for personalized attention and care.
Rapid weight loss.
Support for weight loss maintenance.
Cons:
May feel hungry often.
Risk of constipation, dizziness, fatigue and nutrient deficiencies.
High chance of weight re-gain.
VLCD’s are affiliated with gallstones.
Supplements/injections may contain ingredient combos in doses that have not been adequately studied for efficacy.
Expensive.
2. Commercial Diet Product-Based Programs
Based on your weight, you’re recommended a diet, exercise, & behavior modification program to help you lose about 1lb/wk.
Products such as pills, supplements, shakes, pre-packaged and pre-portioned meals are sold as the basis of your diet regime, and may be delivered to your door.
Weekly classes & individual or group counselling is often offered and lifestyle management, motivation & nutritional info is sometimes provided.
No specific food groups or foods are off limits – they even offer dessert!
Cons:
Expensive.
Can become reliant on products.
Lack of overall nutrition education/basic healthy eating skills.
May be difficult to adjust eating outside of program in social settings.
Herbal supplements may increase risk of drug interactions and renal problems & lack evidence to suggest efficacy.
3. Fasting
Fasting is a dietary pattern that reduces the amount you eat for short periods of time.
Some plans suggest alternating between normally (unmoderated) eating days and fasting days each week, with fasting usually described at around 1/4 of your normal intake.
Other fasting regimes suggest zero consumption for 14-16 hours a day, and eating unmoderated for the remaining 8-10.
In either case, the idea is to reduce overall weekly caloric intake to induce weight loss.
Automatically eliminates unhealthy behaviors like drinking alcohol, smoking, or eating processed high fat foods.
May be a way to get more fruits, vegetables and water.
Cons:
Hunger.
Risk of dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, low blood sugar, low blood pressure, headaches, and fatigue.
Potential interactions with medications.
Doesn’t address long term healthy eating strategies.
Juicing is associated with increased risk of Diabetes.
Difficult to maintain in social situations.
Lacks long-term evidence of efficacy.
5. Low Carb Diets
These diets restrict intake of carbohydrate-containing food (breads, cereals, starchy veg, fruits, milk products, etc.), while including larger amounts of protein and fat.
Some low-carb diets encourage leaner meats and healthier fats while others permit foods high in saturated fat.
Popular regimes include around 20g of carbs/day or less for 2-3 months and 50g carbs or less/day for ongoing weight loss phase.
Examples: Atkins, Dukans, The Zone, Ketogenic, Paleo, South Beach
Pros:
Relatively fast weight loss.
High rate of satiety.
Focus on high consumption of vegetables.
Low glycemic load.
May help you automatically cut down on alcohol, and high sugar processed foods.
Cons:
Foggy head, fatigue, bad mood and bad breath due to ketosis.
Risk of consuming too much saturated fat (which may increase bad LDL cholesterol).
Lack of fiber from low carb- consumption may cause constipation.
Potential stress on the kidneys.
Potential nutrient deficiencies from lack of carbs.
6. Low Fat & Nutrient Dense Reduced Calorie
Dietary fat provides 9 calories per gram compared to carbohydrates & proteins that both provide 4 calories per gram, so most low fat diets also are reduced calorie.
Some low fat diets suggest anywhere from 15% to less than 10% of caloric intake from fat and focus on very lean proteins (often vegetarian), whole grains and fruits and vegetables.
The idea is to choose foods that are higher in fiber and water content and therefore, contain a higher volume of food for fewer calories.
Some calorie counting programs assign point values to food and activity instead of focusing on specific calories.
Examples: The Pritikin Diet, Volumetrics, Ornish, Weight Watchers
Pros:
No large food groups excluded.
May help lower cholesterol level, blood pressure, cardiovascular risk & stabilize blood sugar.
May help you feel satisfied thanks to fiber and larger portions.
Cons:
Diets may be lacking omega-3 fatty acids & risk deficiency in fat soluble vitamins.
Fat is satiating, so may still feel hungry despite eating voluminous portions of food.
Fat-Free foods may have hidden sugars.
Food with “zero points” still have calories over consumption may slow weight loss.
7. Mindfulness
Mindful eating is more about how you eat than it is about what you eat.
It is about being aware of your hunger and satiety signals, the emotional and physical sensations you experience while eating, and the thoughts and emotions you have around eating and food.
It is also about finding peace with your body and honoring its unique needs, rather than purposefully restricting or feeling guilty about what you eat or what you weigh or look like.
Examples: Intention, Attention, Triggers, Body Cues, Recognition
Pros:
Evidence suggests long-term efficacy.
Healthy eating regime that is manageable for life (long term)
Strengthens personal connection to eating & food.
Prevents overeating and hunger.
Reduces guilt & anxiety about food.
Improves digestion with thorough chewing.
No foods are off limits (even treats are encouraged!)
Cons:
Requires more time at meals.
Shift in eating behavior may be challenging for chronic dieters.
Need distraction-free eating environment.
May not see rapid changes in weight or body shape.
8. Heart Healthy Diet
These diets highlight specific patterns of eating and heart healthy lifestyle choices to achieve healthy weights.
Emphasis is placed on eating an abundance of fresh fruits and vegetables, eating more whole grains, lean protein, and low-fat dairy, legumes, nuts, and healthy fats including olive oil and omega-3 fatty acids.
Limiting meat, processed food and sugar is encouraged.
In general, most suggest eating a variety of foods, limiting saturated fat to less than 7% of total calories, total fat to 25-35% of calories, and dietary cholesterol to less than 200mg per day.
