At a guess I would say that an approximate 75% of people at some stage in our lifes have looked at the mirror, feeling a horrific twinge in the pit of our stomache as you have realized you have put on weight. It can not be a nice feeling when you think back to your care-free youthful years when you ate what you wanted and still stayed trim, slim and healthy.

Typically, when putting on weight, it is a hell of a lot easier than losing all the weight. your First emotion is panicing- would you say that achieving weight loss a myth, or is it reality?, where do I begin? Even after you have start your diet, you are trying to do everything 'the right way' and still after all that hard work you get NO positive results. After a short while all of the information available starts becoming confusing and contradicting, and quite honestly it all seems like a waste of your time. You are probably getting tired of diets that take over your life and sick of eating tasteless and boring dieting food.

The key to successful dieting is finding a diet that suits your lifestyle- and your bank balance! So knowing the different types of diet around is the first step in choosing the right dietary program. Diets that promote weight loss are usually divided up into four different categories. These categories consist of- low-fat, low-carbohydrate, low calorie and finally, very low calorie.

Low-fat diets revolve around a reduction of fat in the individual's diet. An example of low-carbohydrate diets would be the well known 'Atkins' diet- low carbohydrate diets are usually high in protein. With low-calorie diets the most popular choice would be 'Weight Watchers'- these diets involve you counting the calories each day and assigning points to them. You will have a limit to how many points you would be able to rack up in a day. Very low calorie diets are considered as a bit of a black spot they are deemed quite dangerous. People attempting these diets must be monitored closely by a doctor/physician to prevent any health complications.

Still confused? I'm not surprised. There is a simple diet solution to determine what diet will work for you. There are three simple concepts you should follow:

- Know the exact foods that cause you accelerated fat burning. - Know the foods that are stopping fat from burning. - Put the right foods together in a certain way to create the fat burning effect.

If you manage to follow these three principles successfully you can expect to experience consistent, continueing weight loss.
