Beer and a Diet
by Mark Heitermann
For many, alcohol is one of the first things to go when they start a diet. This is not necessarily a bad decision – ethanol provides no real benefit to the body, and are truly empty calories. That being said, I love my beer far too much to every completely abstain from drinking it, even if I have to compensate by eating less. I also don’t totally agree that all alcohol is necessarily bad. Having your favorite brew can actually be beneficial in other ways that many people don’t realize. Just like anything else in a easy diet, you just need to assess the value of your beer, and decide the healthiest way to enjoy it. Remember, a diet is very easy if your still able to enjoy your favorites.
Beer can actually be highly nutritious. Unfiltered beers are high in vitamin B and have respectable amounts of protein. This protein is mainly due to the yeast that is still suspended in the beer. The protein in these beers can help curb hunger, especially if you have a drink before a meal. In fact, beer has historically been an important
means of getting nutrients. Unfiltered beers, which are far more common, lose some of this nutritional benefit, but they still shouldn’t be completely shunned.

Best Types of Easy Diets
by Jessica Heart
Just as every person is unique, there are tons of unique easy diets to choose from. Unfortunately, many dieters are constantly switching to the latest fad diets, without really taking the time to find a diet that really will help them lost weight easily. If you are truly committed to finding an easy diet, there are a number of very effective possibilities that you can choose from.
The first, and arguably the most popular, is called a Set Meal program. This is characterized by the fact that it provides a strict list of foods that can be eaten, or even defines the exact meals you should eat in a day. This is definitely an easy diet since it takes little effort to follow. The biggest problem with this type is that it isn’t very sustainable. You can’t live the rest of your life choosing from a list of 15 foods! However, this is a great option for those in need of a rigid yet easy diet plan.
Another familiar diet is Exchange diets. These allow you to select your own foods and meals under certain caloric and portion restrictions. In essence, you’ll be allowed to pick a few foods from each food group enabling you to create balanced and healthy meals. While the flexibility of these types of diets is nice, it requires some extra oversight to ensure you select foods that are nutritious. That being said, these easy diets are best for developing a long term change in lifestyle and encouraging good eating habits.

Best Metabolism Boosting Foods
by Laurie Twiggs
Do you remember when you were young and could eat anything you wanted and still would never gain weight?
Even when I was in my late teens, I was eating huge portions of unhealthy food full of fats and cholesterol and never really had to worry about packing on pounds. However, after years of following that lifestyle, I was surprised to see myself ‘ballooning’ when I was in my early twenties. After a lot of time at the gym and discouragingly little progress, I realized that it was my metabolism that had changed and I was no longer burning calories as quickly as I used to. I decided to make a change in the types of foods I ate to boost my metabolism. Sure enough, after only a few weeks of eating these new foods, I started to burn fat without changing any other parts of my diet, and have lost almost 20 pounds to date.
