Much has been said and done about dieting and yet not all diets have turned out to be neither totally effective nor healthily beneficial to some dieters. That being the case, is there something we should know? Or better yet, why not ask yourself how much do you know? Gardenia Bakeries Philippines Inc., through its various health breads (Gardenia High Fiber Wheat Raisin Loaf and Gardenia Slim N' Fit Wheaten Bread), has these facts to share:

Fact 1: Fad diets are not really that effective
Sure, fad diets can make you lose weight fast, but when you slip out of their required routine, they make you gain back all that weight you've lost in no time. It is more advisable to eat in moderate amounts even as frequent as every two to three hours because that is easier to sustain. Doing this may help trigger your metabolism.

Fact 2: Carbohydrates are not necessarily fattening
It's eating too much of the wrong kind of carbs that makes you gain weight. You need carbohydrates — good carbohydrates such as those rich in fiber that will not only help sustain your energy throughout the day but also help you feel full in between meals. Moreover, fiber can improve digestive health as well as lower your blood cholesterol and blood sugar levels. So eat healthy breads instead.

Fact 3: Skipping meals can make you gain weight
Studies show that skipping meals regularly slows down your metabolism, making your body store the food that you eat on your next meal as fat. What's more, whenever you starve or deprive yourself of a meal, you tend to compensate by gorging out next time

Fact 4: You can enjoy delicious food even when you're dieting
Healthy dieting does not mean going for the bland and tasteless. If you look around, tasty, mouth-watering healthful choices abound. It's a matter of knowing how to differentiate between the good and the bad.
Looking for a sensible way to delicious and healthy dieting? Choice abound in the market such as Gardenia High Fiber Wheat Raisin Loaf. It is packed with flavorful plump juicy California raisins that contain anti-oxidants that may help protect the body against diseases. A slice a day may help in proper weight management,  while providing nine grams of fiber per serving to meet 29 percent of your daily fiber needs.
Another great diet treat and a healthy source is Gardenia Slim N' Fit Wheaten Bread, said to be the only bread in supermarkets that contains L-Carnitine, a nutrient that may help you burn calories when combined with proper diet and exercise.
