Proactol is a daily supplement that binds fat allowing you to lose weight without being really picky about what you eat. Normally it comes with a 180 day money back guarantee which by itself is good enough - if you do take the supplement daily you will surely notice if there is any effect within half a year. Now it’s even better and you get to try it for free to make sure this is the right thing for you!

As I look around the web I see plenty of other interesting weight loss and diet blogs so I guess it’s only fair if I post interesting tips and thoughts found elsewhere every once in a while. So here’s this week’s collection of links.

The Diet Blog discusses whether obesity is people’s fault or companies who sell junk food are to blame - the arguments for each side are very interesting and worth giving them a thought. My opinion is we should clearly think and account for what we eat.

3 Fat Chicks on a Diet reminds us of a common-sense yet often forgotten fact that it is better to have someone else cook food while you’re on a diet and reviews a new diet meal delivery service Diet To Go - very tempting and very healthy!

Celebrity Diet Doctor has an interesting article on how our unhealthy Western diet “loaded with meats and sweets” actually… saves us from breast cancer!

Walking@About.com reminds us that in the summer heat we need to drink more water and carry it around with us everywhere we go and reviews different water carrying ways - some of them are very cute ;-)

HealthHackers blog teaches us how to cook a delicious and healthy meal in plain 15 minutes - just the kind of an idea everybody needs in our busy daily lives!

100 Unique Healthy Living Tips points out a connection between dieting and stress and how one causes another and so on - that’s where you really need to be careful!

Finally, A Hearty Life tells us how eating greens will save your heart and shares a nice green recipe.

Healthy reading to everyone and I’ll get you more next week!

Planning a diet is half way to succeeding with a diet. How do you plan a diet correctly so it is sure to work for you? It is very easy really. Here are a few tips on how you can plan your nutrition so that you know how to eat healthy.

1. Mini meals are great for you.

Has your doctor ever told you when you consulted him for some illness that you should eat several small meals each day? You can have a small meal every couple hours. Make sure you get all the elements you would normally get during your normal meal - protein and fiber. Have some veggies and some fruit to balance everything out. Don’t make your mini meal too nutritious. I know that since it is a mini meal, the temptation doesn’t seem as great.

In such a manner, you will avoid hunger and improper snacking throughout the day. But if you have decided to eat your mini meals every two hours, stick to it.

2. Reduce the amount of food you eat.

I know, sounds difficult. But you need to decide upon a certain amount - say reduce your food by 10% - and stick to that. No need for complicated calculations - but figure out the approximate amount of calories in your food and reduce that, not the visual amount of food.

3. Eat what you like.

From time to time let yourself eat your favorite food, even if you know you shouldn’t eat it.  If you do it once in a while, it will be easier to maintain your diet. Otherwise you will hurt yourself in the long run. You will be trying to nibble each day on those things instead of just eating them occasionally.

4. Calories should be eaten, not drunk.

A few sodas here and a few cups of hot chocolate there will quickly add up to your daily amount of calories. As a result, it will put on the pounds easily.

5. You need to exercise.

You need to do this to keep fit. Besides, it will keep you mentally sharp as well. That can go a long way in helping you stick to a diet. If you are depressed, chances are you will end up eating fatty foods that will make you fat. And consuming all of that fat will, in its turn,  make you more depressed. It is a bad cycle to start.

6. Make your meals last longer.

How many times have your parents told you as a kid to chew your food? It works well for your diet too. Instead of quickly swallowing your food, eat it slowly and enjoy the taste of it. If you do this, it will make you feel like you have actually ate something. If you just swallow it down, you won’t get the same benefit. You will continue to feel hunger.

7. Figure out your food triggers.

Everybody has them. When was the last time you went grocery shopping and you looked at a bag of cookies and realized that you had to have them? It happens to me all the time. You need to understand what foods trigger your response system. By doing this, you can avoid situations that will make you eat things that you shouldn’t eat.

Simple enough, isn’t it? Hopefully you will put these easy rules to work and they will help you succeed with your diet.
