Why Dieting is NOT the best way to lose weight and keep it off

DIETS DON'T WORK! Or have you ever had any long-lasting success with diets?

Over 90% fail -- they gain back all the weight they lost, and many gain back even more.

Why don't diets work? Simple -- you can't keep them up in the long-term.

Especially when it comes to diets where you're eating pre-packaged foods or odd combinations of foods, diets are short-term solutions.

You're not going to spend the rest of your life mixing up protein shakes or eating a ton of grapefruit!

And when you restrict your calories, your body's system thinks there's a famine coming. So it slows down your metabolism and squeezes every last bit of nutrition from the few calories you're giving it.

That's your body's natural response -- but your weight loss slows to a crawl, you keep getting hungrier, and pretty soon you give up your diet and go back to the Haagen-Dazs.

Then what happens?

Your metabolism stays slower, and you gain even more weight back than you lost during your diet. All the weight comes back -- and maybe more. This is called the jojo-effect.

Then what do most of us do? Decide to go on another diet! We think, "Maybe this one is the magic one that'll really work..." And so the cycle starts up again...

"It's a vicious cycle that we can't get out of. We diet. It makes us feel hungry and deprived. That makes us feel bad. We eat. We feel bad about the eating... and then we start dieting again." I don't know about you, but for me, even the thought of dieting makes me feel hungry!

Start breaking this insane and unsuccessfull habit by asking yourself what you really want to accomplish by losing weight. Go through the times when you've dieted in the past. Have you been getting the results you wanted from dieting?

If you aren't, stop dieting now!

Important: Just my suggesting that you stop dieting may scare you. I don't want you to think that you're going to go out of control and strip the kitchen bare, then end up too wide to fit through the kitchen doors.

Dieting is about short-term control that you can't keep up --true weight loss is about letting go in the long term and trusting your body to know what it wants.

Make a list of positive things you want to achieve and start NOT thinking any more about calories and diets. Free your mind from the painful thoughts of dieting, thoughts that end up making you eat more than you actually want!
