Losing weight should be a sub-category of a bigger goal and that is to be as healthy as possible. In this article I will tell you about the healthiest diet that will not only make you lose weight, but it will also help you live longer, have more energy, lower your blood cholesterol, avoid impotence, look and feel younger, along with many other benefits. Imagine losing weight and gaining amazing health at the same time! The truth is, it’s easy, you just need to know how, well guess what? I know how and I am going to teach you!
Only with frequent exercise and healthy food choices will you ever truly be healthy. Some people like to think they can have one without the other and be a healthy individual. Although it may be true you can lose weight while exercising frequently and eating everything in sight or not exercising and eating extremely healthy, neither is recommended for what I like to call “Optimum Health and Vitality.” Accessing all the benefits from exercising and healthy food choices will give you the chance to experience said health, vitality, and so much more.
You may be asking yourself now, “Well okay, so what do we eat?” The healthiest diet is a plant-based diet where there is little to no consumption of animal-based foods. We can get all the nutrients and energy we need for our daily lives in fruits and vegetables. Personally I have been a vegan (only eating plant-based foods, this means no dairy) for around three months now and I have noticed dramatic changes in my vitality and health. Make sure you understand that this is coming from someone who has already lost 90lbs and kept it off for a couple of years, while changing my dietary habits consistently trying to gain optimum health. When you make the change to a plant-based diet you will be thanking me for this wonderful experience!
I want to make everyone aware of how bad a low-carb diet is for your health. Alright, you may lose weight quickly, but is your health something you are willing to sacrifice in the process? I thought the whole purpose of losing weight was to live a healthier life, am I wrong? With a low-carb, high fat diet you can look forward to increased risks of kidney failure, cancer, heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and many more fun diseases. Why would someone ever participate in a diet like this? The answer is simple, no one was ever told these things and the sad part is, this is NOT new information. My goal is to inform you before you have put yourself in harm’s way by participating in a diet that will hurt you or even kill you in the long run. If you are reading this, then I have done my job and if you want more information about the benefits of plant-based diets and the risks of animal-based foods I would recommend you pick up the book titled The China Study, written by T. Colin Campbell and Thomas M. Campbell II.

Will you lose weight on a plant-based diet as fast as you would on a low-carb diet? The answer to that question is a resounding YES! My first week with this lifestyle I lost five lbs and I was already down 90lbs! I felt more energetic and full of life than ever. So ask yourself these questions, “Do I want to lose weight by eating the foods that I have been conditioned to love or do I want to lose weight and gain a healthy lifestyle that I have never experience before?” “Do I truly want more energy, more vitality, a better body and a better heart?” If you lose weight with a healthy diet and frequent exercise you will never turn back!
