There is no danger in reading about diets. But please, do not 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 pound after pound quickly and effortlessly. Keeping these precautions in mind you are now ready to consider the Automatic Diet.
The Automatic Diet was created by Charles Stuart Platkin, a medical doctor. One of its major principles is eating less. During the first three days of this diet, dieters analyze their food intake to determine exactly what they are eating. They read food labels and then choose foods, which are low in calories, lipids, and glucides. Another principle is increasing their athletic activity. Dieters are advised to avoid saturated fats, which are often found in meat, dairy products, and egg yolks. They should not cook food in oil but in a Teflon pan or steam them.
For your diet to be automatic, you must assume good alimentary habits. To do so, increase your protein intake. Consume as little lipids (fats) as possible. Consume foods low in starch including vegetables. Foods that you should avoid include cold cuts, dairy products, sugary cereals, and foods rich in fat and sugar such as potato chips, pizza, cookies, cakes, ice cream, and other sweets. Make sure that you have a good breakfast including cereal or bread. Enjoy balanced, nutritious snacks, which are rich in protein. You are allowed an afternoon meal if you are hungry. Engage in sports such as walking, speed walking, and bicycling. Remember that it is more efficient to exercise during three ten minute sessions a day than once a day for thirty minutes.
A major advantage is its relative flexibility, which makes it easy to follow. The change in your dietary habits is progressive. This diet is said to be quite effective in the long term. The major disadvantage is the absence of any psychological aspect.
Here is a sample menu: For breakfast eat two rice cakes, a fruit salad, a no fat yoghurt, and a glass of tea or coffee. For lunch enjoy a vegetarian, cheese less pizza and a soy dessert. The mid-afternoon snack is an apple. Supper consists of asparagus spears, a tuna steak, spinach, and a pear.
A quick look at the Internet showed that both printed and electronic versions of an Automatic Diet book are available inexpensively.
