Important information before dieting

Now before you start on that diet, please read this as it might work as a bit of an eye opener for you. As much as we as a society today, are looking for the everlasting slim figure, some of us need to think twice before starting a weight loss plan, because;

As with everything else which pertains to our health you should always talk to your physician before you start a diet. Many of us start a diet and or exercise plan without taking into consideration that following any old diet plan might not be as healthy as we might think. Just because it is advertised on TV, Radio or other such places, doesn’t make it the right one for you.

The wrong diet plan can actually do more harm than good and before you start one you should obtain an expert opinion, preferably from a qualified nutritionist, on whether that particular diet plan is good for you. As diet plans go, most of them target the fats in your daily consumption and one thing to keep in mind is that not all fats are bad for you. As a matter of fact your body needs certain fats to be able to function in a desired way.

Here is a short list of foods containing some of the fats we need in a diet, avocados, nuts, and olive, peanut and cold pressed olive oil. These foods contain MUFA’s (mono-unsaturated fatty acids) essential to our health and wellbeing

So before you go on and start that diet plan you have been planning on following I highly recommend that you take a look at this article by Janet Matthews, she is educated as a Nutritionist and has made it a mission to make sure that you know, amongst other things, what different fats do to you, and which ones are essential to keep consuming in a daily diet.

I trained at the Institute for Optimum Nutrition in 1988 and have since completed a diploma in naturopathy and part one of my Metabolic Typing training with Health excel.

I have followed Janet for a while now and I know she is passionate for people not to do the wrong thing when it comes to dieting and especially what the wrong information can do in terms of harmful rather than useful things to you and your body. Many of those plans readily available to us every where we turn can potentially cause us to lose more than we bargained for.

That is why it is always important to consult with a trained professional before starting a diet or exercise program of any kind, so as to avoid unwanted side effects or other hard to reverse outcomes.

Not that you can’t start a diet plan, just be aware of the dangers there might be involved before you begin. Here is the link to Janet Matthews Health Blog: Click here
