I say more good reasons to love L.B.C, not only are you revising original recipes. You're also making them more healthier for you, while saving money in the long run.


2015 marks a fresh new beginning as everyone reaches for that new year's resolution that they have set for themselves. And what seem to always be the first on the top of the list? Yes you guess it "Dieting".

There are multiple types of diets out there, but which one is right for you? I'll leave that up to you. I want to get into many factors of pro's and con's on dieting, but were do I even begin. I'll just name a few, and take you on a journey of their good & bad factors. Before I even begin, what is your true meaning of dieting? as your mind being to pounder. Is you're meaning for dieting a good thing ? I want to believe so, because this lifestyle seem to get blown out of proportion.
Now lets get started on naming some of those dieting plans.
We of course have Ms. Jenny Craig, The Atkins diet, weight watchers,
And the list goes on an on from there. I'll just take you only on the few that I have named. So if you're ready then let's begin.


~Let's get talking on the  pro's of Jenny Craig


 Jenny Craig diet is  custom-tailored to the client according to their goals, current weight, and body type. That includes different types of meals that cater's to a person's diet restrictions: vegetarian, vegan, etc. As they are very  convenience  meals coming prepared, and can be delivered directly to your door. In one box, you have your meals ready for the week and preparations require nothing more than a few minutes in the microwave.


Now that we covered the pro's, let's talk about the con's of Jenny Craig.


 The only thing about Jenny craig is can be more costly than preparing your own meals at home, and may not suit your appetite after months of meals straight from the microwave. 


~Let's get talking on the  pro's of The Atkins diet


Low-carbohydrate diets have proven to be effective for weight loss for a limited period. These diet plans call for a reduction in snack foods and alcohol, which are often high in simple carbs and sources of "empty" calories that lead to weight gain. 


Now let's cover the con's of the Atkins diet


While in the past, the Atkins Diet was popular for allowing its followers to consume large amounts of fat (burgers, cheese, bacon, eggs, etc.) and still lose weight, as long as the carb count was low. Consuming a large amount of animal fat, and therefore cholesterol, is not good for your health. It increases your risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke. While in some cases, the Atkins Diet can also create unwanted side effects. These include:


bad breath (due to a condition called ketosis)

insomnia
dizziness
constipation (due to lack of fiber)
lethargy

Let's talk cover the pro's of weight watchers

(Adapted from HTTPS:// WWW. Weightloss.about.com )

Weight Watchers teaches an all-things-in-moderation approach where you can continue to enjoy your favorite foods in controlled portions. Your leader will share good nutritional advice with the group, such as the importance of eating plenty of vegetables, healthy fats, low-fat dairy and drinking enough water.  You can expect to lose one to two pounds a week after the first week on the program. This is a very healthy rate at which to lose weight. Weight lost at this steady rate is more likely to be maintained (diets that lead to quicker loss make re-gain likely). As you accurately track and record your Points values, you will need to measure your portions and serving sizes. This skill is valuable and will serve you well even if you go off the plan.


Now let's cover the con's of weight watchers


As cost of meetings are approximately $13 per week (varies by location). There may be a registration fee, which is due upon sign-up, of around $30. If you have a lot of weight to lose and you plan to stay in the program until you meet your goal weight, you may want to do the math: For example, assuming it takes an average of at least one year to lose 100 pounds, your minimum total cost would be $676. (Note: You can cancel your membership at any time.) You will probably receive a "free pass" card upon joining, which allows that you to not weigh in at one meeting. Other than that one instance, you must be weighed once a week in order to attend a meeting. Keep in mind that the only person who sees your weight is the person weighing you (she or he records the weight).
