In this day and age one of the biggest influences people follow is diets. How are we to know though, which diets are best for us to follow and which should be left as fad diets? Here is an overview of two different diets to help you better choose which ways might be better for you and your lifestyle.

Body for Life vs. Atkins:

Both Body for Life and Atkins are based on certain types of beginning diets and purposes, both of which are very similar but on the other hand very different in some aspects. Body for Life leans towards six healthy meals leaning on the side of healthy proteins with a varied amounts of veggies to keep your body as healthy as possible while transforming your body by the use of aerobic and weight lifting exercise. From the very beginning you are expected to follow a regimented exercise program working yourself up to what ‘your’ max muscle exhaustion would be. It is suggest that you use protein powder supplements and protein bars to help in your weight loss aid. It is also suggested that one would keep stock in certain types of foods, such as eggs, chicken breast, fresh veggies (or frozen if that is all you can get) and oatmeal, all essential to diet part of this program. Diet is not a word though that Body for Lifers likes to use. A new permanent change of lifestyle and eating habits is what is preferred, leading one to a healthier body, for life. Many people have found themselves losing enormous amounts of weight, up to a hundred and more and transforming their bodies into sculpt, beautiful pieces of art, both muscular and slimly trim, however you want to see your body transform. It is mostly up to you on how much you lift and how often once you get into the program. Several of those who have followed this program have gone on to win national fitness and muscle championships.

I actually did Atkins for a year and lost a LOT of weight....once I was accustomed to it, I loved the diet, but it was a tad difficult to break that carb addiction in the beginning.

Interesting. Have you ever explored Somersize? It is more of a change in eating style than a diet. I lost 75 pounds on it without a lot of difficulty and I never felt better in my life. Too bad it was just after that that my mom got sick and I spent so much time taking care of her, I didn't have the same time for me. But I'll get back there, hopefully soon.
