What is Your Diet Type?
Determining the type of diet that you enjoy on a regular basis is one key to getting a handle on your weight loss plan. Try to identify which topics apply to your diet and use the diet tips to accomplish faster weight loss.
Apple or Pear? - Apple shapes tend to store their fat around the mid-section which has been linked in studies to a rise in risk for heart disease. According to the studies, it's much better to be a pear. The pears store fat below - in the buttocks and hip areas.
Weight Loss Tip: Apple shape or Pear shape is based on genes. However, you can cut your risks by practicing the following: regular visits to your doctor, annual cholesterol check, regular blood pressure checks, a healthy diet, and moderate exercise.
The Busy Day Dieter - This individual rarely sits down to enjoy meal times and may be often found at the drive through windows of popular fast food restaurants.
Weight Loss Tip: Slow down, you move too fast! Take time to relax at meal times. Rather than grab a burger, grab something healthy. You'll be around a lot longer so you can keep on enjoying those busy days.
Dieting With Family - If you're trying to diet and are in charge of preparing meals for a family, weight loss just got a notch more complicated. Click here for some great tips.
Fast Food Dieter - The dieter has been totally entranced by clowns, kings with big plastic faces and fake crowns, 'ball people' with big heads that look like balls, and colonels with no military affiliation.

Weight Loss Tip: In general, the menu items featuring chicken are lower in calories and fat than the beefy items. Look for grilled or roasted chicken over fried or bar-b-qued. Order salads with light dressing on the side and ditch the croutons. That tiny sack packs more calories than some tin roof sundaes. Avoid milkshakes because they aren't the healthy milk beverage that one would think they might be. These thick shakes will shake up your taste buds, as well as your weight scales.
Night Owl Eater - Owls are associated with wisdom, i.e. Wise Old Owl. However, night owls that hit the fridge while generally watching the late show aren't being Diet Wise at all. Late night eating packs on more pounds than eating during any other time of day. And who wants to invite unwanted pounds into their life?
Weight Loss Tip: Rather than hitting the fridge for that special Dagwood sandwich, or Rocky Road ice cream, opt for a warm cup of tea. If you must have something solid, keep a bag of tiny cookies on hand. Most contain about 130 calories for 6 cookies, so you'll be getting a nice treat without a lot of Diet Damage.
