This diet has been formulated by the American Heart Association. It emphasizes the
lack of success for most people when it comes to losing weight and being able to keep it off
permanently.
The American Heart Association emphasizes that losing weight is not easy and that beating
yourself up over not being able to lose weight is not the way to go. They warn that there
isn’t any “magic formula” to losing weight. They also emphasize that many of the
diets and pills that promise instant and lasting weight loss is just a gimmick.
The American Heart Association has formulated a diet plan that will fit
into any certain individual’s lifestyle. The have a three “key concepts” that they
call the Circles of Success. I those circles, they have one concept that is termed “Think
Smart”. In another circle they have another concept termed as “Eat Well”. In the
last circle, the last concept is “Move More”.
They emphasize the importance setting goals that you are able to attain. They also have you
create “a personal action plan”. The goals you set are to be about you and the three
concepts that they incorporate into the diet.
When you individualize your program, they think that you will be more likely to have success
because the diet is specifically geared towards you. They also suggest making small changes over
time. Any changes that you make will be one step closer towards your goal.
Think Smart is all about making choices that are healthier and “a cornerstone of
success”. Eat Well is all about the fact you need to consume fewer calories than you use. Move
More is all about moving to ward off any extra weight.
The American Heart Association diet recommends that you remind yourself that keeping a rhythm of
small changes can help you in your success. These small changes are the stepping stones to your
success.
They also think that by setting an example and following this diet; you can be a role model for
your children, family, friends, and a community. If they see you succeed, than they will try to
mimic your success and try to live a healthier lifestyle.
The American Heart Association diet, also known as the No Fad Diet, is a diet that is
individualized for you. It implements three important concepts: “Think Smart, Eat
Well, and Move More”. They also emphasize that there isn’t any magic pill or gimmick
that is going to work for permanent weight loss. I really like this No Fad Diet. It is all about
basic common sense.
