      Introduction

      The Diet Guide book you have in your hands will help you to sample several different diet plans. Dieting is such a big part of our lives, whether we consciously try to eat healthy or not. The fact is we need to strive to eating healthier diets in order to both treat and prevent ill health conditions from taking hold. There are many different diet plans to choose from, it can be confusing. This book will help to narrow down the choices by featuring three very good very healthy diet plans.

      The blood type diet plan targets foods that are beneficial per blood type. The thought is that each blood type does well with certain foods. It doesn't hurt to try the diet and see if it makes a difference.

      The anti inflammation diet features foods that help the body to deal with chronic inflammation. Inflammation occurs due to injuries or certain health conditions like arthritis. Inflammation causes pain and swelling. Certain foods are said to aggravate inflammation such as gluten and sugar. By eliminating these certain foods and including foods that are healthy the body will be able to handle and treat the inflammation.

      The other diet plan featured is the comfort food diet. Contrary to what you may be thinking, this particular diet is healthy and does not include junk food. Comfort foods do not have to be filled with sugar and fat to taste good. The recipes in this book contain foods that are healthy and whole. You can find a host of recipes that tastes great. The comfort food diet is one of the easiest diets to go on because you do not feel as if you are depriving yourself of the tasty foods you are probably craving. By making the recipes using healthy ingredients you have your favorites only healthier.

      Make your diet change easier by preparing in advance. The diet plans in this book can be interchanged. Go through the book and pick out your favorite recipes and recipes you want to try. Next, look in your cupboards, pantry, freezer, and refrigerator and see what you already have. Always try to use the food you have first. Next, plan your menu for a week at least in advance. You can plan for longer if you wish. The recipes in this book will allow you to plan for the menu a couple of weeks in advance without repeating meals. Once you plan your menu create your grocery list. Plan your shopping trip ahead of time so you will be able to go shopping without being distracted.

      When you shop for the groceries avoid the temptation to buy junk food. Stick to your list. This will help you to change your diet to better healthier ones. Once you arrive home with your groceries take the time to prep as much of the food as you can. Wash and store all the fruits and vegetables. Chop the fruits and vegetables you can ahead of time. You should try to store items that will be used together in one spot. This will make it easier for you to prepare meals during the week. This will help you to avoid reaching for the convenient junk foods or going through the fast food drive through to save on time.

      Now that you are prepared to try the new diet plans are you completely over any bad junk food addictions? If you have a junk food addiction this will make it tough for you to go on and stick with a healthier diet plan. While it is possible to stop eating the junk food and never go back to it most people find it very difficult. The reason for dieting failure has a lot to do with this junk food addiction. The withdrawals from junk food are hard to overcome if you quit it at once. Withdrawal symptoms may include moodiness, intense cravings, and headaches. It's just like with weaning from cigarettes, you want to wean slowly so the desire to have it will go away naturally rather than be forced.

      To do a successful wean from junk food give yourself a full three weeks to do it slowly. By doing this you will lessen the withdrawal symptoms and will have a better chance at sticking with the new diet plans. The first week you are allowed to eat junk food twice a day. Eat healthy food such as the recipes in this book for the rest of the time. This will help to turn your body to eating right. The second week you are allowed to eat junk food just once a day. Make sure to replace the other times with healthy nutritious foods. The third week you will be allowed to eat junk food just once every other day. This will force you to start adding days with no junk food. By the end of the third week you should no longer experience junk food withdrawals. You will have an easier time making the change to a healthier diet. If you find you still crave junk food give yourself an opportunity to eat junk food once a week. Make it a 'reward' for eating right the rest of the time. Limit it to just once though. Within a couple of weeks the cravings should be gone.

      Other tips to make the dieting change is to drink enough water. You will want to make sure you drink water every single day. You'd be surprised at the amount of people who won't drink any water claiming that any beverage will substitute for it. While some coffee and tea and juice can take the place of water you still need to drink plenty of it each day.

      You also want to exercise. Exercise and diet work very well together in creating a healthier body. The body needs physical activity in order to be healthy. If you do these things you will be ahead of the game in gaining control over your health.

      Section 1: Comfort Food Diet

      Comfort food is meant to bring out a special feeling in all who eat it, as it creates a sense of nostalgia. It reminds us of the days where we would play with our friends from dawn until dusk and mom would have a special meal waiting when we returned home.

      For many, these meals remain a comforting reminder of family and everything that it means. These recipes remind us of simpler times where the entire family would gather around the table and all seemed right with the world. In today's society, it can be difficult to find time to make the meals that mom used to make, but there are ways to make the cooking process much easier. Eating comfort food does not mean that you have to spend the entire day slaving over a hot stove, as many of the recipes allow you to cook outstanding and comforting food without sacrificing your entire day.

      At the same time, it is important to remember the things that go into creating a healthy diet. Comfort food might not have the best reputation in that regard, but you do not have to eat unhealthily just because you love comfort food. Much of eating healthy has to do with the ingredients that you use and portion control. In past generations, we did not have this information regarding these ingredients, but now we do. Try using organic ingredients whenever possible and substitute low fat items for higher fat items. Of course, there will be situations where you eat a high-fat meal, but do not let that discourage you. After all, you are a human being and you have the unique ability to enjoy your food. This collection of recipes is meant to help you enjoy your meals, without causing you to gain weight.

      Another thing to consider is portion control. Many of the meals in this collection are extremely large, but they are not meant to be consumed by a singular person. These meals are meant to be enjoyed by a group of people, as you gather the family together for a special night. They are also meant to leave leftovers, as you will see in the meal plan at the end of the cookbook. If you make larger portions, you will have leftovers for the next day, which can save you money. The more you can avoid eating out at lunch, the more money you will have in your bank account at the end of the month.

      Comfort food is created to be enjoyed and by following these great recipes, you can be certain that you will enjoy your meals for years to come.

      Chapter 1: Comfort Food – What Is It?

      Before you can begin your comfort food diet, it is a good idea to know exactly what you are getting yourself into. Simply put, comfort food is anything that brings about a sense of nostalgia when eating it. As a result, comfort food recipes will be different for everyone, as it is a very personal experience.

      When putting together a comfort food diet cookbook, it is important to include recipes from all parts of the country and to represent various ethnic backgrounds. It is equally important to include all-American dishes that everyone who lives in the country has tried or, at the very least, heard of.

      If you decide to use these comfort food diet recipes, remember that each one represents the sense of family that you get when sitting around the table over a hot meal. Also remember that when prepared properly, these meals are healthy and nutritious, so you do not have to worry about your comfort foods diet creating health problems in the future. Too much of today's food is based on fad diets that die out over time, but this food lovers diet is sure to stand the test of time.

      Comfort Food Breakfasts

      Most healthy diets start off with a food breakfast and comfort food is no different. The majority of comfort food breakfasts are hearty and will stick with you throughout the day. Breakfast is extremely important because it helps you keep your energy levels high in the morning. Those who do not get off to a good start with a healthy breakfast tend to fade before lunch, which hinders their productivity at work. Start your day off with a good breakfast and the rest of the day will easily fall into place.
