It's hard not to be aware of all the fad diets out there. There's the atkins diet, the South beach diet, the nutrisystem Dietthe list just goes on and on. Other people skip the dieting all together and pop dangerous and ineffective pills in order to lose weight. These solutions might seem to work, but there is, in fact, a better and healthier solution.

The Fiber 35 diet claims that by simply consuming 35 grams of fiber each and every day, you will be able to lose weight and keep it off. The diet was developed by Brenda Watson, who is a best-selling author, certified nutritional consultant, and naturopath doctor. The Fiber 35 diet is a popular diet because it not only helps you to lose weight, but improves your health too!

How Does The Fiber 35 diet Work?

The creators of the Fiber 35 diet understand that the only proven way to lose weight is to burn more calories every day than you consume. Thus, they have designed the Fiber 35 diet to work with this concept. The diet provides a system that can be used to calculate the ideal number of calories you should be consuming each day in order to achieve your weight loss goals. The dieter then combines this system with 35 grams of fiber every day, and this is when results are seen.

What Are The Benefits Of Consuming 35 Grams Of Fiber Every Day?

Fiber provides many nutritional and weight loss benefits, which is why the Fiber 35 diet has been proven to work so well. By consuming at least 35 grams of fiber everyday, it helps to suppress your appetite. This is because fiber has no calories and takes up a larger amount of space in your stomach; thus, it makes you feel full.

Another benefit of fiber is that it promotes the production of CCK, or cholecystokinin, which also helps to make you feel full for longer. The Fiber 35 diet also promotes effective use of glucose by the body because it slows the rate at which carbohydrates are converted to sugar.

By consuming at least 35 grams of fiber, you are eliminating calories that you have already eaten. Additionally, you are receiving the additional health benefits that come from heating high-fiber foods.

Fiber For Your health

If your goals are not only to lose weight, but to improve your overall health levels, then you should consider giving the Fiber 35 diet a try. When you combine a reduced caloric intake with more fiber, you will finally achieve the results that you have been hoping for.

Many people believe that the word 'links' refers to the way the end of one golf hole defines the beginning of the next - rather like the links of a chain. This is not so but it actually comes from the old English word 'hlinc' meaning a stretch of flat ground along the seashore. And that is exactly what it is like. Sea on one side, land on the other (often the houses on the edge of the town form the boundary). It is a naturally occurring terrain usually on a well drained sandy soil.

The parkland course on the other hand is 'purpose built' and is often much more hilly and varied in terrain than the links course. also, the presence of trees offers a different kind of hazard from those found on a links. Each course has its own type of problems and challenges but the links course probably calls for rather more 'invention' or 'adaptation' in the way the shots are played.

Parkland courses are usually set in an area not infrequently wooded to some degree and often with heather, gorse, sand bunkers and sometimes water in the form of ponds or lakes. However, the main difference between links and parkland is that the latter is much more obviously manufactured. This is not said by way of criticism since inland courses by definition have to be manufactured. The quality of the course though is more to do with the skill of the designer and how much this "manufactured-ness" shows. The optimum use of the space available and the incorporation of existing natural features - woods, trees, water, ups and downs - are where the architect can bring his creative powers to bear.

A links course on the other hand is usually a much more rugged proposition. It's a completely natural setting - too 'natural' for some people - where the wind from the sea plays a much more prominent part in the game. The nature of the terrain forces you to adapt your shots to the prevailing conditions and the lie of the land. one great advantage though is that being on sandy soil it does tend to drain well and very quickly so the surface remains firm and playable all year round.

Nevertheless it is no place for the complaint 'It's not fair'. Life isn't fair on a links and you have to brace yourself for that. You could hit a perfect drive straight up the fairway only to have it finish up on a hanging lie with three huge bunkers between you and the green two hundred yards away.

The distances on your scorecard will be accurate but useless. I have played at Turnberry where one of the par threes is an eight iron in the morning but a three wood in the afternoon - and it was nothing to do with the port at lunch.

Playing out of the rough is a different game; the whins and other grasses can twist your clubhead and make the ball behave in quite a different way when trying to chip on to the green from the rough. Don't expect to play to your handicap on your first visit to a links course - even in sunshine and no (apparent) wind. You need to be able to 'read' the elements and this comes only from experience. Why do you think so many canny golfers chip and run from so far off the green?

Unlike the parkland course where the course is manufactured, the links course demands that the shot is manufactured.

But all in all it's a great challenge - never the same from one day to the next. one compensation however for these difficulties is that you will not encounter many trees. Which brings us back to parkland golf.

Essentially, unlike the natural design of the links, this is down to the skill of the architect. Everybody accepts that golf courses are 'constructed' but the trick is to make them look as natural as possible and, in the case of some of the great inland courses, it works! It requires a number of criteria to be fulfilled: first and foremost it must be a challenge to the world's best - and must be accepted as such. It must have variety - every hole must be individual but the 'whole' must have a personality. It must be fair and not just playable by top championship players and, lastly, it must be aesthetically pleasing. Such a course would be Sunningdale - a club blessed with two of the great courses where every hole is a world unto itself. So whether your preference is for links or parkland I hope you manage to get the round you've dreamed about on the course of your choice.

Good golfing!
