Dieting - Knowledge Questions OR Opinion Questions

Empowered to Face the Weight Loss Battle of the Bulge

If you are looking at a diet plan that states your perfect weight, try to determine why the diet is offering this information. What are they basing the numbers on? Do they target a batch of numbers or single one out? Do they allow for age? Frame size?

As for the amount of food that one can eat while dieting - stop and think about this for a moment.  Again, this is an Opinion Question. We are all different. Each of us have different nutritional demands. A diet that offers tiered recommendations might be more in tune with the dieter's needs than a plan that defines 'X' amount of food for ALL dieters per day.  Again, what has the author of the diet based the information on? Pay particular attention whenever 'food combining' is touted as part of the weight loss plan.

The length of time to lose weight is an obvious Opinion Question, as is 'the best diet plan'.

KNOWLEDGE QUESTIONS

What types of food do I need to eat each day for optimum health?  This is a question that you should ask yourself before going on any diet plan.

Compare the Food Pyramid to the diet plan that you are considering going on.  If the food groups listed on the diet plan greatly differ from the Food Pyramid, consider another diet plan.

Can I still enjoy all my favorite foods on my diet plan?

Another example of a Knowledge Question that is easy to determine.

Summary

Generally, with all diet plans, there is an overview either at the beginning of the diet, the weight loss book that contains the plan, or at the website offering the weight reduction plan.

Review the information carefully.  As you review, see if you can pick out the Knowledge Questions and the Opinion Questions.  The more Knowledge Questions that you find, generally it's a better plan for weight loss.

There are a lot of great diets both online and offline these days. Do your homework - and get the right answers to your questions.  You'll definitely want an 'A' on this one!
