Advantages and Disadvantages of Diets

Following a specific diet plan is not as easy as it looks like. A diet can be followed for a variety of reasons, but what is a diet? Where the word came from and how it works? A diet is a tailor-made diet and is prescribed by a dietician or weight consultant.

In the vernacular, following a diet is directly associated with losing weight, but the concept of diet is much broader. In addition to losing weight, a diet can also be followed to gain weight, to adjust your diet, for a medical reason or due to an allergy. For whatever reason a diet should be followed, an appropriate diet is always prescribed for the reason.

Types of diets

Yet most people choose a diet to get to the desired body weight and then often to reduce body weight. There are countless diets that are divided into different categories and choosing from these diets is not an easy choice and depends on personal wishes.

For example, there are low-carbohydrate, low-fat, low-calorie and high-protein diets that can be followed to promote loss of body weight. Each category has its own working method, so with a low-carbohydrate diet the focus is on consuming as little carbohydrates as possible, with a low-fat diet on consuming as little fat as possible and with a low-calorie diet, the focus is on consuming as little calories as possible. In addition, there is a high-protein diet where the focus is precisely on the consumption of proteins.
