Definitely Low Carb. Protein Power and Paleo are both simple to do.

Personally I think that building some muscle mass is very important so your body consumes more calories and gets lots of exercise. Then it is much less important exactly from which foods the calories originate.

Exercise is very important.

But as you asked about diet. I simply try to incorporate more fruits and vegetables in my diet. I base each meal and even snacks on a fruit or vegetable and then add a little protein or lowfat dairy but I stay away from foods high in starch or sugar with little other nutritional benefit.

It seems that most people do not get enough complex carbohydrates especially from vegetables. So adding more of these to the daily diet is a great way to have a better quality and lower calorie intake diet.

I often stir fry with a little canola oil and whatever veggies are around and some fresh herbs like basil. I eat a lot of tomatoes and
other fresh seasonal vegetables. Been eating a lot of berries, peaches and cantaloupe and watermelon lately.

Drink lots of water throughout the day (90%-95% of the day).

It helps suppress your appetite and helps you eat less too.

theres a pretty healthy one that was on oz and is supposed to work as well as a gastric bypass, its also suggested by many 'health professionals'

its called 'ricing',,basically,,, eat fruits at breakfast, vegetables at lunch, and rice for dinner

no red meat,

chicken, fish or poultry is allowed with the rice

under 500mg sodium perday,and lots of water

That would be a terrible diet. Your body needs 1 gram of protein per pound of body weight, there isn't 60 grams of protein in that suggested diet, little less 120. She would turn flabby and weak in no time.

Red meat also is full of healthy cholesterol and saturated fats. Much of your hormones and your brain / nervous system are made out of cholesterol. Sex hormones for instance are made of cholesterol.

If you are drinking a lot of water, you need a lot of sodium. Your body needs a minimum of 1,500 mg of sodium a day, 500 mg is crazy. Sodium is incredibly important to multiple aspects of your health. Not to mention that fact that sodium allows amino acids to pass into your bloodstream, where you body can use them. If you don't get enough sodium, you won't get enough amino acids either.

The problem meats are processed meats with Nitrates and Nitrites. Whole meats of any source are not unhealthy and actually can benefit the body.

And lastly, rice is just sugar. There is almost no nutritional value to rice, all you are getting is empty carbs. The glycemic index of wild rice is 57, the glycemic index of sugar is only 65! Wild rice is almost as hard on your insulin levels as eating sugar straight out of the bowl! Don't even get me started on whole wheat bread (glycemic index of 69!!!!) Throw away the rice and eat vegetables and whole meats at every meal. Save fruits as a rare treat.

I try to keep my water consumption at around 1/2 ounce / pound of body weight. Basically, if I'm thirsty, I drink water. If I'm not thirsty, I sip water to keep it that way.

its actually one gram of protein per KILOGRAM (2.2 lbs)

or .37 grams per pound

this means that a 100 pounder would need 37 grams
a 200 pounder would need 75 grams
and a 150 pounder would need 55 grams



that can be done easily with one or two servings of steak or chicken divided between lunch and dinner

I should have said 'around' 500 mg of sodium per day, because 500 is actually the minimum the body 'needs'

and guess what? rice is a healthy source of those amino acids you mention


,, this is only one type of diet though that works well, it was created at Duke University 70 years ago, but has been updated a bit since

The basis of a good diet is moderation.

You can eat hydrogenated vegetable oil-laden salted chips, chocolate and pizza-flavoured milkshake sandwitches and survive to your nineties, if you don't overdo it.

And if you live on a moderated diet, you can't always talk about it. Talk about it in moderation.

And exercise, in moderation.

And apply moderation to all your activities, but always remember to apply the moderation in moderation.

They put in a math lab with computers, laid new carpets and freshmen, and painted the Administration offices. That concluded the "upgrade".

This is no joke. My sister-in-law keeps my brother on this or something very similar. I remember "fruit in the first half of the day" and "no carbs with fat or with protein". They do eat protein, but I don't know when and in what form.

My brother is past 60, and he is in better physical shape as I have been since I turned about 23. His body looks like that of a 23-year old, and his face is older, but better looking than mine (mine is destroyed by fat.) He is sometimes seven, sometimes eight years older than I.

The sister-in-law? Well... we don't talk about the sister-in-law. Officially nobody has an opinion of her. She is taboo subject, not only when my brother is around, but at any time. It's like god, who is omnipresent at omnitandem. (All durations of time.)

http://www.body-perfect-fitness.com/How-much-protein-do-you-need.html
Bottom line: if you train with weights, your body is breaking down protein and you need to provide it with extra protein to help rebuild. Though the exact amounts that different sources recommend varies widely between 0.7 grams per pound of bodyweight (140 grams for a 200 lb person) to levels as high as 2 grams per pound of bodyweight (400 grams for a 200 lb person), there is a solution...



I should have said 'around' 500 mg of sodium per day, because 500 is actually the minimum the body 'needs'



http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/sodium/NU00284
The 2010 Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend limiting sodium to less than 2,300 mg a day — or 1,500 mg if you're age 51 or older, or if you are black, or if you have high blood pressure, diabetes or chronic kidney disease.



and guess what? rice is a healthy source of those amino acids you mention


No, you mean "a source" and it's incomplete at that. Rice has about 75% of the amino acids required to make a protein. Chicken, fish, eggs, nuts, many vegetables, pork and beef all have complete proteins. Why eat a food that you have to suppliment to actually get any nutritional value out of?


,, this is only one type of diet though that works well, it was created at Duke University 70 years ago, but has been updated a bit since


It couldn't possibly work well, if by "well", you mean lose weight and stay healthy. You would be under the daily minimum for sodium and protein at the least and probably not getting enough fiber and many vitamins.
