A major problem when people are trying to eat healthy and get into shape is they search for the perfect diet. They search for a diet that will magically help them solve all their physically needs. Most will find a diet and stick with it for a very short period of time say, 2 weeks and expect outstanding results. Then they will jump to the next perfect diet and do the same thing. This will cause frustration and eventually cause you to quit.

First things first, you cannot jump from diet to diet and expect to make outstanding results. Sticking with one diet for 2 weeks is not enough time for you body and metabolism to adapt to that diet. Being a professional auto mechanic doesn't take 2 weeks, it takes time to learn the skills to get outstanding results. Things take time and you have to be patient. I say you need to at least give a diet 3 months to see result. Also you need to do cardio and weight training on top of that. You need to follow your diet to the T and stay focused.

Now there are all types of diets out there. Most people like to search a certain diet that they like or heard of and they want to follow that particular one. When you choose a diet you like stick with what it says. Eat the foods that it tells you. I understand it can get boring eating the same foods over and over everyday, but it works. Stick with it and see how it responds. If there are foods in the diet that you are allergic to then you obviously need to substitute that food with another one. Now if you just want to make up your own diet then definitely do it. Choose the healthy foods you want and create your diet. It's also good to switch the foods up after a while, put new foods in your diet and see what happens.

Keep your diet simple! Don't make it more complicated than it is. There are tons of healthy foods out there. You'll need to experiment with different foods and see what produces the best results for you. Give your diet TIME to work so your body can adapt to it. Remember, there are tons of diets out there and they all work, you just need to find what kind of diet suits you.
