Strategy #1: Grazing. Right, like a cow. This diet strategy replaces our three squares a day with five, even six, small snacklike meals throughout the day. The idea is that constant eating will keep your metabolism up and appetite down. Strategy #2: Eat a ton, weigh less. This diet strategy relies on low-fat, high-energy, carbohydrate-rich foods like pasta, vegetables, and fruit for its success. Strategy #3: Programmed eating. Overeaters Anonymous, Weight Watchers, and Jenny Craig advocate three strict calorie-controlled meals and two snacks a day. Behavior modification is stressed. Strategy #4: The Honorable Elijah Muhammad prescribed one vegetarian meal a day, with periods of ritual fasting. Clearly, there is no shortage of plans. The question is, which one is best for you? The secret to success is balance, consistency, and an understanding of yourself--your style of eating, your biorhythms, your moods.
I will choose the eating program that's right and healthy for me. Better yet, I will create my own program.
