There have been thousands of diets offered to the public over the years. Some are crazy and dangerous. Others are so limited and boring that it's impossible to stay on them. Most help you lose weight for a while but as soon as you stop, the weight comes back and more. There's the low carb diet, the low-fat diet, the high protein diet and many combinations and variations. Why don't they work? The latest approach to fat Lifespan-transforming primary advantages of physical exercise loss emphasizes paying attention to your body type and metabolism type for a diet customized to you. There are three major body types.
Ectomorphs are slender, tend to slimness (envy them!) and few are overweight. They have small bones and often look skinny.
Mesomorphs are big-boned, athletic and muscular. They can gain weight more easily than ectomorphs because their metabolism isn't as fast, but their muscles help to burn off fat..

2. Offer a clear explanation of why certain foods are good for you and also those you must avoid. The diet must be solidly based on physiology, nutritional needs and metabolic function. If you don't understand why you should eat certain foods and avoid others, why stick with the diet?
3. Present a flexible program for you to follow and include a system that supports and motivates you. A good diet works best when it provides structure. So many times you try a new diet, stay with it for a while and then get stuck at a plateau, get discouraged and stop entirely. You know what happens next: the weight comes right back on and often you end up weighing more than when you started! It's called "yo-yoing" and it's bad for your heart, bad for your ego and generally discouraging. That's why ongoing support and motivation is so important.
