If you are overweight or obese, you are not alone. And chances are, you have tried a myriad of diets that were either ineffective or difficult to maintain. Maybe you are interested in weight loss surgery, but cannot afford it. Perhaps you have even considered traveling to a weight-loss clinic in Mexico to have gastric sleeve surgery done at a lower cost, but aren't sure about the risks. Surgery may not be the only solution you have left. One popular diet that many people have found to be successful is the Zone Diet.
For instance, if you are 6 feet tall, your healthy weight range is higher than that of someone who is 5 feet 5 inches tall. Since BMI is more precise, yet still easy to calculate (there are currently dozens of free BMI calculators available online), it has been used in some form for the last 200 years. However, lately there has been some speculation about new measurements of physical health that might be even more accurate than BMI.
According to this diet, good carbs come from colorful fruits and vegetables, while foods like bread, pasta, and other grains should be limited or avoided. The eating schedule is fairly strict for this diet, breaking the day down into three meals and two snacks. The first meal needs to be within an hour of waking, you should never go more than five hours without eating, and should have a snack before bedtime.
Dr. Sears asserts that following this diet will change the way hormones work in your body to have a greater anti-inflammatory effect. Hormones like insulin and glucagon are produced as a result of foods we eat (or don't eat) to regulate blood sugar levels.
Have a conversation with your child's doctor if you are very concerned. Remember that many children carry their baby weight well into their older childhood years, and some children put on weight right before a growth spurt. While an adult may be able to do a fad diet or get weight loss surgery in Mexico, a child's body is growing and changing, so making drastic changes can be incredibly harmful to their ability to grow.
The BAI is based on ratios involving measurements of the height and the hips, which allows for a much more flexible and accommodating alternative to the traditional BMI. However, while the BAI has been proven to give more accurate readings than the BMI, it is less convenient to calculate, with the necessary measurements requiring a doctor's office and trained personnel in order to be computed correctly. Although the BAI still needs some work, it has been proven to be more accurate than the BMI, which could lead to its prevalence in the future.
Other factors that make this diet effective are that it is relatively easy to follow "one-third" and "size-of-palm" rules, and that online membership is free with inexpensive cookbooks available.
People whose waist measurements are less than half of their height measurements have been proven to be healthier, with fewer instances of stroke, heart disease, and diabetes. The great thing about this technique is that it can accurately measure children and help predict their risk of obesity, since both their waist size and their height will increase as they grow.
Despite the fact that it causes dieters to fall short of the grain recommendations found in the Food Guide Pyramid, consumption of nutrients like fiber, potassium, and calcium result in a healthy, safe diet.
