The best and cheapest 12 Week Diet.

Not surprisingly with resolutions in full force, weight loss is a very topical subject at the moment...

When it was finally sit down and wind down time quite late last night, I caught the tail end of weight loss documentary on TV...

The idea was to calculate and compare the cost of losing a pound of body weight over 12 weeks (I think) with various different, I suppose I have to call them "diets"...

Really don't like that word...

There was a well known Fitness celebrities plan, a juice plan, 5:2 diet (5 days per week eating quite healthy and 2 days low calorie), Paleo and Lighter Life...

They worked out how much it costs for 12 weeks and how much weight was lost...

Unfortunately for me this type of test is flawed, what happens to the subjects after the 12 weeks?

If they pile all the weight back on because it's not sustainable or for a long time after or they are totally reliant on the product for the long term or their results will reverse...

My view on which method is best, is based on what's right for the individual, you have to be able to make it a lifestyle, rather than get through 12 weeks...

Usually that's a mix of plans, to pick the best elements...

Which plan is the best or most cost effective? That would be the one that you can make a long term lifestyle, one that you can do for the foreseeable future...

12 weeks is just a great time frame to adopt new healthy habits, to get some momentum, to start seeing some real change...

Then it should be adaptable enough that it just becomes a way of life, the motivation of seeing results inspires you to take it as far as you want to, to put you back in control of being as healthy as you want to and looking and feeling as you want to.
