Do it Yourself Diets

• 1

  Research different diet plans by reading books, skimming through magazines, signing up for an Internet program or joining a weight loss group. If your diet is going to be supported by a weight loss book, do general research as to which one is right for you. The book will give you step-by-step instructions on your diet, background, shopping lists and recipes.

  Health magazines such as "Shape," "Fitness" and "Self" list monthly diet and workout plans. They are usually a good balance between fitness tools and healthy eating recipes. The workouts are geared toward home exercises, so usually no gym membership or additional workout materials are needed.

  Sometimes do-it-yourself diets require the encouragement of others around you. Weight Loss Meetup Groups are nationwide groups that offer support, activities and helpful tips to those trying to lose weight.
