Nutritionist Diets
The best available dieting advice comes from medical professionals such as doctors and nutritionists. But even if you do not have the finances to throw away money on a tailored dietary approach prepared specifically for your needs, you can do nearly as well with a boilerplate plan endorsed by respected clinical organizations. The American Dietetic Association has been helping individuals improve their lives and performances through the use of dietary manipulations, making them the individuals to trust for healthy dietary advice from trained nutritionists.-
ADA Diet
-
Follow a dietary approach that contains moderate amounts of carbohydrates and protein along with lower amounts of dietary fat while following the ADA dietary method. This means that you will have to cut back on your overall fat intake, relegating yourself to no more than 25 to 35 percent of your daily calories from fat. When consuming calories from fat, you should make it a point to opt for unsaturated fat sources whenever possible, minimizing your consumption of saturated fat (limiting it to less than 10 percent of total calories) and wholly eliminating your consumption of unhealthy trans fats. When in doubt, check the nutritional label or online nutritional information for items to determine the fat content, avoiding the mistake of assuming that a restaurant item will have similar fat content to items prepared at home--this is often not the case, and it can result in inadvertent increases in your consumption of dietary fat. Regarding carbohydrates and protein, you should generally stick to natural sources of both, favoring organic food sources like fruits, vegetables, grains, and lean meats served in their original state as opposed to heavily processed carbs and protein including sugars, white flour, fried foods and breaded meats.
ADA Diet Menu

Aim to consume a diet which is roughly between 1,500 and 1,800 calories to facilitate steady and sustainable weight loss while following this plan. For breakfast, consider a bowl of hot cereal (oatmeal or cream of wheat) served with berries, whole grain toast, low-fat milk and either a piece of fruit or a glass of natural fruit juice. For lunch, consider a serving of whole wheat pasta mixed with a sugar-free tomato sauce and roughly three or four ounces of grilled chicken with some fruit on the side. For dinner, cook yourself a homemade beef soup using a bag of mixed vegetables, low-sodium beef broth, and four to six ounces of cubed low-fat beef. Serve this with a bowl of broccoli or other vegetable on the side to finish off your day's meals.
