The best and healthiest way to quickly lose weight is by eating plenty of lean protein (white meat, fish, pulses) and low Glycemic Index (GI) carbohydrates.

This will not only help burn calories but combined with exercise, it will build muscle to replace the fat you are losing.

The beauty of this plan is that it is so easy to follow and doesn't involve lots of calorie counting, starvation or complex recipes. You simply stick to white meats like fish, chicken and turkey, pulses, tofu and low GI wholemeal carbs like brown rice and wholemeal bread.

You will also never be hungry which means you can really stick to it and lose the excess pounds for good. Low blood sugar is what makes you hungry and irritable but if you eat lots of low GI foods, this will keep your blood sugar levels stable and balanced.

You will have plenty of energy all day long and the hunger pangs will be kept at bay so that you don't get tempted to binge on sweet and sugary foods.

Cleansing diets have become very popular in the last few years. Cleansing diets are also known as detoxification diets. They are considered detox diets because they are reported to remove toxins or poisons from the body that have purportedly built up due to years of eating an unhealthy diet or because of being exposed to pollution and other toxic chemicals in everyday life.

One very popular result of cleansing diets is that they help people lose weight very fast. This is most likely due to a combination of factors. One of the main things that happens during a cleansing diet is that quite often you get a release of waste from your colon. This waste may have been impacted or lodged there for some time. This release of waste will cause a loss of weight when you weigh yourself.
