The Hay Diet |
 |
Introduction & Overview |
Some diets are created to help users lose weight, while others are created to help users ease the signs and symptoms of some medical conditions and the Hay Diet is one of these diet plans. It was created by Dr. Hay, a physician who designed this diet around his own beliefs about using diet to help address persistent and degenerative diseases, such as digestive disorders, constipation and arthritis, as well as asthma and allergies. Lastly, it is believed that the concepts used in this diet can help users kindle natural weight loss. So let’s take a look at the design of this system in order to see if it really is effective, and if it is easily integrated into a user’s lifestyle.

| Concept |
Dr Hay designed this diet based on certain daily digestive requirements, because he believes different foods need different “conditions” in order to be properly digested. In essence this is a food combining diet, in which the main principal is that users should not combine proteins and starches in the same meal. Proteins are concentrated animal proteins such as meat, poultry, fish and cheese. Carbohydrates are concentrated starches such as grains, cereals, bread, potatoes, and sugars.

| Design |
The Hay Diet is not one that is easily managed, hence the plethora of books and websites dedicated to explaining this diet, and helping users implement its concepts. Many individual know this diet better as the “food combining diet”.
This food combining plan has 5 basic tenets, which users need to adhere to in order to get the benefits of this plan. They are as follows: users should refrain from eating carbohydrates, proteins and acidy fruits at the same time; vegetables, salads and fruits are the core of this diet plan; only small amounts of starches, proteins and fats can be eaten; only whole grains and unprocessed starches are eaten-except for white sugar, white flour and margarine; and finally meals should be eaten at four hour intervals. This diet is designed to maintain the acid and alkaline balance in the body.

| Cost |
The Hay Diet is basically free and its tenets are available on many different websites. However, there are also books available, because frankly it can be rather difficult to implement and integrate into a busy lifestyle, because of the different restrictions involved in this plan. Most websites and books that promote the Hay Diet provide users with charts, which are fairly complicated; outlining the plans do's and don'ts. We are sure some consumers will at first believe that they don’t need these charts, but as time goes on they will grateful for them.

| Conclusion |
Some consumers may be drawn to this diet, and the whole idea of food combining; however, this concept is actually based on some unproven scientific principles. In fact, search as we may there is little concrete proof available, which validates that this type of diet can actually induce weight loss, or ease disease; although some proponents swear by it.
Regardless of which plan consumers decide to use to try to lose weight and maintain it over time, some may decide to seek out holistically based nutritional supplementation to help augment this process. There are many really good products available on the market which can help them do exactly that. We often suggest consumers investigate products that contain Hoodia.
Hoodia is an appetite suppressant, which contains a steroidal glycoside known as “P57” which is the reason why Hoodia is so very effective. P57 can amplify levels of ATP in the brain in order to diminish hunger in users. Hoodia’s ability to directly affect hunger in the brain is the key to its success, making it exquisitely effective. We also suggest consumers seek out products that give users a free trial, this way they can try it on for size.
