Dieting 101 – Dieting Basics to Advance Your Fat Loss

To the average person, the word “diet” has a negative connotation—they instantly think of bland foods, hunger pangs, feeling deprived—when in reality, diet is the word for the foods you already eat.

Fact is, you’re already on a diet. And chances are if you’re looking for a new one, it’s because the way you eat now isn’t getting you the results you want. But the problem isn’t finding the right diet, it’s making the one you have work for you.

Most people judge diet plans based on how popular they are, which celebrity endorse them, or how quickly they claim to work—when the real test of a diet should be how well it fits your needs, and whether it's sustainable.

Extreme fad diets are all the rage, but they're not the true lifestyle change you need to see lasting results. With the methods and recommendations laid out in my Dieting 101—summarized below—you’ll learn how to tailor your diet to your needs and adapt it as you progress toward your goals.

By better understanding how the body makes use of the nutrition you get from your diet—and how to adjust that diet based on how your body responds—you'll not only be able to get the results you want, but keep them as well.
