How to Plan Your Diet Chart Smartly

There are more than a million reasons why people from all walks of life get a specialized diet chart made for themselves. While some want that flawless skin, some are looking for quick weight loss. Moreover, there are not just as many reasons for getting a diet chart made but as many diets as possibly can be. You might be more than amused to find solutions to almost every problem in a diet. In fact, Ayurveda states that a only that diet/food components should be consumed by you that suit your body characteristic, which falls under three categories: kapha, pita, tapas.

Weight Loss and Diet Charts

Though there are a number of reasons why people think that going to dieticians is wise, weight loss is something the propels or pushes them to go to one. So, while your diet chart can wait a month or two if it is about getting a better complexion, but if weight loss is the agenda then everything seems like urgency.

What Makes Diet Plans a Hit?

Well, if it is the first time that you are giving dieting a try; you might have your own prejudices against it. You might think of it as something that will require you to cut down on every delicacy that you have ever dreamt of gorging on. No chocolates, no puddings, no sweets and nothing that is fired should go into your mouth.

So, what comes into picture are people not being able to eat anything! That’s a wrong picture. There is nothing like starving when it comes to dieting. On the contrary, a good diet is something so filling ( and delicious) that it hardly leaves you starved or craving.  Can you have chocolate occasionally when dieting? Well, why not! In fact dark chocolate is something that is recommended by dieticians so as to boost the amount of anti-oxidants in your body.

What Should A Good Diet Chart Be Like?

A good diet is delicious, filling, nutritious yet light. There are portions of proteins, minerals, vitamins, carbs and little bit of fat too in the diet (but the right quality fat). It sounds too good to be true, I know. But when you go to a dietician, she will tell you what is right for your body and what is wrong. Because weight loss charts are such that they need you to stop consuming fat and utilize the one that is stored in the body, be sure that you will be given a lot of Vitamin-C, D and Protein to eat. Want a sample diet chart to get an idea about what is in store for you if you are thinking about dieting? Here is one:

ONE DAY DIET PLAN-SAMPLE

7.00 A.M.: LUKE WARM WATER WITH HONEY AND LEMON
8.30: A.M.: A GLASS OF SKIMMED MILK WITH TWO BROWN BREAD TOASTS (NO BUTTER)
11:00 A.M.: A GLASS OF BUTTERMILK
1.30 P.M.: 2 CHAPPATIS, 1 BOWL CURD, 1 BOWL VEGETABLE (LIGHT SAUTED) AND SALAD
4.00 P.M.: TEA (half spoon sugar) AND TWO MARIE BISCUITS
6.30 P.M.: A BOWL FULL OF SOUP
730-8.30 P.M.: 1 CHAPPATI, 1 BOWL VEGETABLE, ½ BOWL PULSES, SALAD

WHILE SLEEPING: HALF CUP SKIMMED MILKED (no sugar)

Looking at the above weight loss chart , don’t you think after eating throughout the day, you won’t crave anything else? All the three or four meals of the day are being provided in this diet chart. How can one then call dieting starvation?

Now, the sample diet that has been mentioned is just an example. You don’t have to go by this without consulting your specialist. There are a number of charts and plans; and different dietitians believe in different ones.

So, while some expert might recommend Atkins for you, he might advise another patient of his against this diet plan/chart simply because it won’t work for the other person’s body type.

IN A NUTSHELL

When it comes to getting a diet chart for weight loss made, see to it that you share everything about your current diet very frankly with your diet expert. Let him/her know the amount of physical labor that you are doing every day, even if you are not doing any. If on any medication, discuss that too. You will be asked a few questions about your intake of food, allergy to certain foods, age etc. before your diet plan is made. Your BMI will also be assessed and thereafter a diet chart will be made solely for your body type. Another thing to remember is that while you are on the diet, do not go crazy measuring your weight. Results show up but take time. The dietician will first check what suits your body and what doesn’t. Give the expert some time and he or she will be able to work wonders. You will also need to exercise a bit to keep your body toned and metabolic rate up.
