Are Diets Healthy or Harmful?

Every thing about Are Diets Healthy or Harmful? | Vahrehvah :

While the word diet generally refers to the combination of foods that we eat normally, it has also come to mean a certain regimen of food that contains restriction of certain food groups in order to aid weight loss. Often many people who are Obese, Diabetic etc follow a diet pattern to lose weight while few too thin people diet in order to gain weight.

Before you actually start planning for a diet regime, some of the common questions that would arise are Can you easily find these foods in your local grocery store?

Will you be able to eat your favorite foods? Does it fit your lifestyle and budget? Does it include proper amounts of nutrients and calories to help you lose weight safely and effectively?

Is regular physical activity part of the plan? Etc etc….

Dieting is not new and people have been using this way to control the intake of certain food items for ages. But the craze for reducing one’s weight to look more attractive and sexy has become a trend/ passion/ style statement which has given birth to various types of different diets that claim to give fast results.
