The premise of this diet is just as advertised - you can eat anything. In fact, to be successful with this diet you should have access to any food you might crave - even the junk food. If you have a craving for something and you are hungry then eat it. It really is just that simple. Or is it? The key to success is to stop eating when you aren 't hungry. Because of this the diet isn 't going to work if you are just going to eat out of boredom, stress or any other factors that would force overeating. That 's the hard part - training your mind to know when you are full. But if you can manage this not so easy feat you will begin to lose weight. How can this work? Well, from my experience, our bodies are extremely good at letting us know what

For example - I 'm really not a huge fan of vegetables - but there are times that I have a huge craving for a salad. That 's my body letting me know my diet is missing something. I make a point to have a salad at those times. Other times I just want some chocolate - so I have few pieces of chocolate. The craving then go away and my body is satisfied. Don 't over eat, though. That 's the hardest part of this particular diet - knowing when you are full. At first it 's better to stop when you think you might be full - also try to eat slower and not have as many distractions. Once you get a feel for your body again your calorie intake will level itself out and weight should start to come off. It should be stated - this diet isn 't a miracle. You will still need to do some exercise for it to work. Find something physical that you enjoy to do and make a point to do it once a day - or at least a few times a week. For example you can go for a walk or a bike ride. If those are too simple you can join a sports league or do something more exotic like juggling - one of my favorites. Anything to get you moving. I 've been doing this form of diet for the last 6 months and I 've managed to lose around 15 …show more content…
There are healthy and not-so-healthy fats, and they affect your body in different ways. The not-so-healthy fats, which you should limit, include saturated fats, trans fats and dietary cholesterol. Consuming too much of these fats can increase your risk of heart disease. On the other hand, healthy fats which are an essential part of a healthy diet when consumed in moderation, include mono-unsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, and omega-3 fatty acids. Not only can these fats help lower your risk of heart disease, but they also provide energy, a sense of satiety and promote healthy organs. Including the following foods in your diet is an excellent way to get the benefits from the aformentioned healthy fats. 1. Avocado Avocados are known to help lower cholesterol because they contain a mono-unsaturated fat called oleic acid. They also contain potassium and folate, both of which are healthy for your heart. Some ways to enjoy avocados include adding them to salads, making guacamole or using as a sandwich spread instead of mayonnaise. 2. Olives Olives are a good source of mono-unsaturated fat and vitamin E. This combination provides significant anti-inflammatory benefits. Increase your consumption of olives by adding them to salads, making a tapenade or including them in an antipasto platter. 3. Cooking/Baking Oils Cooking and Baking with oils that are high in mono- and poly- unsaturated fats is an easy way to include these healthful fats
