Are Diet Foods Worth It?

I do know for some aspertame can trigger migraine headaches. I have to be careful with many of the generics for this reason. I have to stick with either Equal or Nutrataste otherwise I end up in massive pain. I can't drink any of the diet coke products also because of this, when they had aspertame. I still can't drink them because Splenda does the same thing to me. Not sure why some effect me and others don't but I figure it is probably one of the fillers they use with it. Any time we put something in our body, natural or not, we take a risk. We all need to realize that and we need to be able to know when soemthing is effecting us. We should also know possible effects things can cause. The more we know the better off we are.

No, I haven't heard of apertame before, but I have always been very wary of artificial sweeteners. I am also aware that many foods are misleadingly branded as healthy food options. For example, many of the 'lite' products are not 'light' as we may believe them to be, 'lite' is spelt that way for a reason - to convey the image that it is healthy but without committing to saying that it's actually a 'light', lower calorie alternative. If I ever decided to lose weight, I think i'd just try to cut down on sugary foods and eat more vegetables, at least I can be more aware of what i'm putting into my system.

I want to do regular food not special and make real lifestyle changes

Thanks for telling me about it. I personally do not trust any diet foods,unless doctor also prescribes them. I have a morbid fear of these diet foods playing havoc with my hormonal system. I have had a chance to promote a few but I do not wish to take risl regarding them.

When to Start Dieting? This one is for women: Never start a diet one week before your period. The hormonal imbalances will drive you nuts, will make you frustrated, and the water retained in your body will make appear as if you haven't shed a pound. Actually, you will look as if you took pounds. So spare yourself! The best moment to start a diet is two days after your period has started, when your cravings subdue and your body starts eliminating the retained water. It's better not only from a psychological point of view, but also from a physiological one. So, girls, did you know that the body retains up to 1 liter of water before and during your period? Keep that in mind next time you are complaining that you cannot lose weight. Personally, I retain even more sometimes. Anyway, I started this new way of eating. My friend lost 20 pounds almost following it in the US, and if she could do it there, I can do it here! The basic principles are the ones I have mentioned already. 5-6 meals a day and two or three more substantial. Never eat until you are full, just until you are not hungry anymore. Take out sugar so your insulin is not high and stopping you from losing weight. My daily intake varies from 1,200 calories to 1,500 calories. I don't think that going under this is helpful or healthy. In the morning I'm having a Diet Cereal Bar and half a glass of yogurt. Two-three hours later I have lunch (for example today I had three small pieces of chicken nuggets and 3 large spoons of eggplants and yogurt salad). Then I had one Diet (with fructose instead of sugar) fruit cheesy yogurt. Then I had dinner - other 3 pieces of nuggets, one egg, and lots of lettuce - and then one more fruity cheesy yogurt. I could have added more, but I feel ok. I am not hungry. I could use some fruits though.

i dont think ..i dont follow any diet but i;m healthy and even my physic is good
