So what is the best weight loss diet? Well, although fad diets may come and go but there are a few fundamentals of eating that have remained constant throughout time because they produce results.

First of all, it is better to eat smaller meals throughout the day than it is to eat three larger meals. This will ensure a steady stream of nutrients to your body and keep your metabolism high. If you eat larger meals, your body will store the extra calories as fat and then your energy level will drop as you go longer and longer without food. With smaller meals you always have nutrients in your system and you will feel more full.

Secondly, you need to keep the fat intake low. Although fad diets such as the Atkins diets may allow high fat foods, these diets are impossible to maintain over the long term. Fatty foods are simply not good for you, and you should stay away from them.

Finally, you need to keep your protein intake high, especially if you are trying to build muscle. Protein is the building block of muscle, and in order to maintain and build your muscles you need to keep your protein intake high. Also it has been shown that protein makes you feel more full than carbohydrates and fat. This feeling of fullness will help you to stay thin.

These three principals are the core of every good diet. Put them into action today and get the body of your dreams today!
