Fixed Menu Diets

A weight loss diet that provides you a table of foods that you should eat in order to lose weight is called a fixed menu diet.

When the food that you should or should not eat has already been chosen for you it becomes easy to just follow this kind of diet. This way, you do not have to make the difficult decision of ‘should I eat this food or not?’ 

However there is a down side to this kind of diet. The diet is very limited so it becomes very boring and difficult to follow. Moreover you could be away from your home and not have access to the ingredients you need.

Furthermore, everything is laid out for you so you don’t get to learn the skills of food selection when you follow fixed menu diets. You need to possess these skills especially when you are working so hard to reduce weight.

The best solution therefore is to begin with a fixed-menu diet and later at an appropriate time switch over to a food plan that encourages you to make food choices on your own.

That’s not all. A fixed menu weight loss diet restricts the required nutritional amount that your body needs. You need a minimum amount of minerals, micronutrients and vitamins so that you have good health all the time.

If your body does not get its share of nutrients it absolutely requires, your efforts to lose weight will slow down instead of accelerating. This is because when you abstain from some foods you end up reducing the quantity of certain nutrients as well.

Therefore to maintain both your diet and good health, taking food supplements might be the most simple and best solution.
