There are so many womens diets to think about. The Atkins diet, the very popular South Beach Diet, Weightwatchers, and Nutrisystem, the Dr. Phil Diet, the Zone diet, Beach Body Power 90, Body for Life, Jenny Craig, Slim Fast, the Hollywood diet, the cabbage soup diet, etc. It seems like there are new womens diets, diet pills and weight loss programs being advertised every day.
One womens diet that this writer tried and actually lost weight on was the Negative Calorie Foods Diet. You can eat all you want and feel full all the time. You just eat a lot of healthy foods, mostly fruits and vegetables. I was never hungry but I lost weight. It is a pretty remarkable diet.

What are the missing clues to the womens diets mystery?

In the late 19th century, ninety-seven-percent of adults weighed the right amount for their body size. Only three-percent of the adult population was overweight. No one gave a second thought to womens diets.

Today it is estimated that sixty percent of the adult population is overweight or obese. Also, the number of overweight children has doubled and tripled in recent years. What has happened? Why is it so easy to gain weight these days? What changed? Did people change? Did our willpower change? Did womens diets change?

Actually, it's our food and lifestyle that has changed. The food is completely different now than it was then. The food in women's diets actually has far less nutritional value and is more fattening.

The shocking truth is that food today has far less nutrition. Soils have become depleted and food is far more processed. So the meals you eat are not as full of vitamins or minerals as foods were just a few years ago.

Your body craves this missing nutrition so you feel hungry all the time. The answer is to take a high quality multi-vitamin supplement, and an omega 3 fish oil supplement (see review below). These will give your body the nutrients and healthy fats so it does not suffer so many cravings. The products that we take and recommend to everyone are detailed at the end of this page.

Our modern lifestyle is also less active and more sedentary. We sit all day. We sit in cars and sit at desks and sit in front of the television. We need to do more walking around.

This is good news and bad news.

It is good news because it means we are not all a bunch of out of control munching machines with no willpower. So don't blame yourself too much. No need to call the travel agent and book a heavy guilt trip. There are extenuating circumstances.

Weight gain happens to the best of us these days. If you are trying to lose a few pounds, or simply maintain your figure, you have lots of company. That is why womens diets are such an obsession.

The bad news is, the food isn't going to get better anytime soon. The challenge to feed a vast population has changed food production methods. You really want to take a daily multi-vitamin and mineral supplement to help make up for the lost nutrients in these empty foods. If you are experiencing "cravings" all the time it might be that your body is craving missing nutrients. A high quality nutritional supplement could be very helpful here.

Many women have had success losing weight simply by enjoying a daily soy protein shake. We recommend Revival Soy - The #1 Doctor-Recommended Soy Protein Supplement

These shakes come in a variety of yummy flavors and you'll think you are enjoying an ice cream milk shake or a mocha coffee shake. These folks have over a million happy customers. Yummy, yummy, yummy.

Beware of restaurants. Their company profits are higher on larger portions. Meals keep getting bigger and bigger, it is not your imagination. And their advertising is designed to make you feel hungry.

In addition, your job is not going to suddenly include all kinds of refreshing exercise. If you were stuck sitting in one place all day today, you will no doubt be there tomorrow too. Busy lifestyles may not leave much time for long walks or hours at the gym.

So what do we do?

Womens diets contain less nutritious and more fattening foods these days. To get in top shape we have to change our basic eating habits.

Women's modern lives also involve less physical exercise, we must find more ways to be more active and fit exercise into our day. Going for a walk is a good start.

There are many small changes that can be made to womens diets that will cut down on "hidden" calories and help you avoid foods that can sneak the extra pounds on you without you even realizing it.
