There is no danger in just reading about diets. But please, never undertake any diet without discussing its pros and cons with a qualified health care professional. You can really harm yourself if you don't take proper precautions. And don't expect to lose pounds after pounds quickly and effortlessly. Keeping these precautions in mind you are now ready to consider the Apfeldorfer Diet,
The Apfeldorfer Diet was created by Gerard Apfeldorfer, a French psychiatrist who specializes in eating disorders. This diet is directed at overeaters, especially those who suffer from bulimia. Unlike many other diets, you should be keeping this one for your entire life. The initial step in this diet is asking yourself fundamental questions for example: why am I dieting? In order to follow this diet you must keep a detailed journal of what you eat. Your recorded information includes what and how much you eat, and also with whom you consumed the meal or snack. And perhaps most importantly, you have to note the emotions associated with each meal. Perhaps it's no surprise when you consider who created this diet.
On the positive side, you need not totally avoiding any foods. You are allowed to indulge yourself, but only in very small quantities, especially when said foods are calorie laden. What you do is take these forbidden foods, cut them into unequal portions, eat the little portion and throw the rest out. Think about your loss and continue this practice until you no longer regret the loss.
The Apfeldorfer Diet wants you to listen to your body's hunger signals and only eat when you are hungry. You should eat slowly and stop eating when you are no longer hungry. Stay away from bread and don't eat more than one calorie-rich dish at any meal. Spend twenty to thirty minutes a day pampering yourself, maybe a massage. Other principles include not letting others get you down and practicing a sport that you like.
A major advantage of this diet is being able to eat what you want. A disadvantage is the need to change your behavior and Apfeldorfer is not just talking about food. Small wonder that this diet takes a while to be effective.
Here is a sample menu: Breakfast consists of two zero-fat yogurts and a cup of tea. Lunch is a hamburger with green beans, a slice of brie cheese and a slice of bread. Supper is baked salmon and about 7 ounces of potatoes. Dessert is a French-style cherry tart. This particular diet plan does not include any snacks but some of the others do.
