Weight Loss

Most of us start a diet plan with a lot of enthusiasm, but all our efforts fade just in few weeks. This is so common among first time dieters. And perhaps this is the reason why most dieters never reach their goal- a dream of being in shape forever.

But why does this happen?
Well, the food you eat not only gives you energy but also provides you with the satisfaction called satiety value. Most diets limit your food intake to particular food group thus depriving you from different kinds of food- a wholesome meal indeed. And this becomes a cause of failure. So the basic fault lies in the diet plan and not the dieter.

So you need to zero on to a plan that makes you feel fuller, besides being on diet. One such plan is the flavor point diet, which is a 6 week diet plan by Dr. David L katz. It teaches you the trick to keep your brain feel full and control your appetite. Thus you loose weight, without hunger pangs.

It is a balanced diet plan in which you get to eat a variety of nutrients, and feel full. It does not neglect the satiety value or the satisfaction you get from food. So, you do not crave to leave the weight loss regimen in the middle of your weight loss goals.

How does the flavor point diet works?
When you eat food of different flavors in a single meal it stimulates your appetite. While, when you repeat the intake of the same flavor it reduces your appetite and you feel full only in fewer calories. And it is not a secret anymore that when you intake fewer calories than the ones you burn, you reduce weight. You would eat food from the same category for a meal or day as designed for you.

How to follow the flavor point diet?
The diet is divided into three phases.

In the first phase you eat according to different flavor themes as follows:
Week 1: raisin/currant, lemon, peach, pineapple, apple and oranges
Week 2: carrot, tomato, mushroom, pumpkin, onion, spinach and bell pepper
Week 3: almond, apple, tomato, sesame, walnut and basil
Week 4: orange, spinach, lemon, mint, pecan and dill
In the second phase for two weeks you have to stick to only a meal of a same flavor category, though you can increase the variety of flavors in a day.

In the third and the final phase you just have to manage different flavors in your daily food choices.
