I know most of you understand what that mean but unable to understand how to choose. It is always advisable to understand before making your decision regarding diet. I will be delighted to bring you through the journey of understanding each diet that have been glamorized by the media.
7. Raw-food Diet
Or Raw foodism is not something that is unfamiliar in within Sabahan community. Raw ulam, bosou, nonsom, cencaluk, hinava, etc. They might be the same dish with different name, but it sound oh-so-delicious! For those who aren't familiar with Sabahan traditional raw-food, there are western recipes for this diet.
The reason why this diet exist is that some people believe that uncooked foods are supposedly much healthier choice for the body. Take example of the broccoli that contains sulforaphane, a cancer fighting compound, can be greatly reduce when cooked. While cooking is unnecessary, heating it okay when it comes to this diet as long as the temperature does not go beyond 118 degrees Fahrenheit.
It is also claimed that raw food naturally contains enzymes that helps our digestive system to digest food and absorb nutrients.
Most people who follow raw foods are vegan. But some animal products like raw milk, raw milk cheese, shashimi, etc can be added in the menu. One must also be caution of foods that cannot be eaten raw such as mushroom, peas, cassava, potatoes, etc.
8. More/Extra/Frequent Meal Diet
This diet has 2 rules: One, to eat 5 to 6 meals a day; and two, take small portion of foods on each meal. Most dietitian and nutritionist will recommend this diet to most people. It was said to be the most effective method to loose weight and I have seen people who succeed.
This dieting method helps to regulate blood sugar, control craving and suppress hunger. It has also been said that this method can boost up you metabolism and helps burn calories.
However, one could over-eating if they have no proper knowledge on how to calculate daily nutrition intake for example calorie counting. Most adult needs 1500 to 2000 calorie. If one consume less, it will result hunger and caused us to eat more; If over-consume, ... well everyone knows what become of energy if it is not burn, right? It will be stored as FAT!
9. Junkfood Diet
I don't know if anyone had ever succeed from this diet but hearing it does not sits well with me. I know junkfood taste good and that is the reason why it is not good for anyone. Most junkfood are sugary or salty, fatty, full of artificial coloring and flavoring, no good nutrition, etc.
Junkfood does not only cover those tidbit snacks you are having in your drawer, they includes Cokes and sodas, processed foods, can food, CAKES, fastfoods, etc.
If you are able to loose weight with junkfood, hands down, I will worship your awesomeness for the rest my life. But still, this is not a good deiting method. Unless you call those unsalted, non-fatty and au-naturale crackers as junkfood, then you're good to go.
A/N: I thought I had published this post last Friday. But I just realize I actually haven't! Oh-The-Horror!
