While reading thru a bunch of websites and blogs, I found these 7 bullet points that I wanted to share. DIETS DON’T WORK, long-term. Remember you must make lifestyle changes and change your eating habits. Besides, I hate that 4 letter word…diet!!
- Dieters often underestimate the number of calories in foods and overestimate the number of calories burned through exercise
- Nearly 1 in 5 people have tried to diet six or more times over the past 24 months
- Socializing is one of the top three reasons people eventually fail with a diet
- 2 out of 3 people say they are most likely to go off of a diet between the hours of 5 PM and midnight
- The number one predictor of weight loss relapse is stress
- Nearly 40% of women say they did not have enough willpower to stay on their diet
- Satiety is the missing ingredient in most weight loss programs
Why put yourself thru this agony? All you will end up doing is binging…I know, I’ve done it! You deprive yourself of say, chocolate, and then get so upset, mad, irritated, hungry, or whatever else and then eat more than you should. All you end up with is a tummy ache. Now you’re mad because you know you should not have binged.
Don’t diet! Just make some “tweaks” to your eating and make a lifestyle change. Just one…take baby steps if you must. I recently had to cut wheat out of my “diet” and there are some really yummy foods…try Millet bread (I buy this at my local health food store and you should toast it) and Bob’s Red Mill Gluten free brownies (I buy Bob’s brand at my local Publix).
To Your Health!
