The Popcorn Diet Plan - You've Got To Be Kidding Me

When you hear about some of the various fad diets that come along, you just get a chuckle out of a few of them from time to time. Well...the popcorn diet plan would be one of those that do just that.

It seems that picking a single food item and making it into a weight loss plan is the "in" thing to do these days. We have seen the Special K diet plan and the Subway diet plan as just two examples, but I think the popcorn plan may be taking this a bit too far.

So, how does the popcorn diet plan work anyway?

Well, just like most every other diet plan it tries to get you to adjust your daily eating habits to include more nutritious foods, fruits and vegetables in them. It also encourages regular exercise and drinking more water. As we all know, this is good basic advice regardless of what kind of weight loss diet you are on.

Where does the popcorn fit in?

This is what you are to eat for snacks and in between meals. Now I love popcorn just as much as anyone, but to eat it several times a day will get old very quick. Not only that, but the kind of popcorn you can eat is not that great. I mean, no butter or salt? It sure isn't your typical tub of movie popcorn! Although this type of popcorn is not that bad for you the taste isn't that good either.

Seriously, the number one problem with all of these specific food diet plans like Special K or the popcorn diet plan is that they get old so quickly. Even if it is a chocolate diet you can only eat it for so long before it is not that appetizing anymore.

Obviously, the popcorn diet plan is not a long term weight loss solution. Your best bet will always be to find a weight loss program that allows you to eat a wide variety of foods you like and to use those foods in maximising your weight loss.
