Are Diets effective?

We have heard about the term, "Someone is on the diets". What does it mean? It means that the person curbs his natural instinct for eating his food, and instead takes a food in a controlled manner and according to a plan, to get the desired result. The result in most of the cases is to control the weight. It should be remembered that, Obesity is a not due to over eating but due to consuming just that extra calories constantly over a long period.
So by dieting we mean, "Cutting down on the calories, by avoiding certain food items". There are different types of diets that can produce these results. They are the low fat diet, low carbohydrate diet and the low calorie diet.
 
All these methods are in fact indirectly connected to cutting the calorie intake. The low fat diet principle works by reducing the fat intake so that the calorie is also cut down. Similar is the concept of the low carbohydrate diet. The low carbohydrate diets are usually high in proteins. Low calorie diets that are available in the market can reduce the weight by up to 1 kg in a week.
While the above may be familiar to many, the person who wants to go on diets would have heard about Caveman diet too.
 
The caveman diet is also known as the Paleolithic diet as it was used by the cavemen during this age. The diet is also based on the type of food these men used to have, like the wild plants, fruits, nuts, and animals meat. By stimulating this food environment, the program aims to achieve the result.
