Unfortunately, when you approach weight loss you tend to simply cut out all the ‘fattening’ foods that you are eating and drinking, but these are probably the foods that you love the most. Also, it doesn’t benefit your wellness at all in the long run as 95% of all people who diet gain the weight back and then some from within a few months to a couple of years. All that deprivation, working out, starvation, and regain is known as yo-yo dieting and can put your wellbeing at jeopardy to a whole host of health problems
The diet industry blames you for failing to stick to their miserable, tasteless diets for the rest of time and that’s why you gain weight. You probably only went on the diet in the first place because you were feeling lousy about yourself, and so you end up letting the industry blame you and you start feeling even more guilty and blaming yourself, which means you’ll end up trying the fad diet all over again, even though you’ll get the same results. The diet industry wants you to think that weight loss means giving up your favourite foods, depriving yourself and exercising like a farm animal until you die, but the truth is that their diets are the things that failed here, not you, and what they say about weight loss is, in fact, utter nonsense.
The problem is that diet myth-information has been repeated so many times, that you take it for being the truth without questioning it, and probably repeat it to your friends. Less than 5% of the population benefit from fad diets, celebrity diets, diet pills, diet supplements, exercise regimes and even surgery – in the words of He’s Just Not That into You; they’re the exception, you’re the rule. Your body has a natural set point that is inherited, just like your other physical characteristics. Eating a healthy, balanced diet, without bingeing on comfort food, will keep your weight will stay within a 2-3 pound range by itself. Your body is actually a sophisticated system, and if you eat fewer calories, your body automatically slows down your metabolism, and makes you feel lethargic. Likewise, over-exercising makes you extra hungry and makes you crave carbs. The way to succeed is to simply eat more good foods, and less of the ones that aren’t so good for you. Simple.
