How many diets have you tried? And how many of them have worked over the long haul?
The diet industry is one of the largest industries in the world – there are so many different diets, pills, lotions, potions and programs out there – how come we are not all super models? Then again – do you really want to be a super model or is that image part of our issue?
The truth is that if diets and depriving ourselves truly worked then we would all be super fit, happy, and at our ideal weight. Unfortunately, diets, by their very nature are doomed to fail. They are nothing more than a quick fix solution to a long term challenge – and they often make us feel worse physically and emotionally – like we are failures.
So what should we do?
That is the million-dollar question. In addition to tossing picture2aside the super model image pushed in our faces constantly and accepting ourselves for who we are instead of comparing ourselves to an unrealistic image, a simple mind shift is required. The first step is to change your definition of diet. STOP thinking of diet as a restrictive or starvation plan (many diets are just that and you will lose some weight but not in a health way and not permanently). START thinking of diet as your nutrition plan – how you nourish your beautiful body every day.
And here is the real secret:
We are all unique and have our own set healthy body weight. Your body actually KNOWS what your healthy weight is and will NATURALLY achieve and maintain that weight when you are fueling your body efficiently and moving it appropriately. Isn’t that amazing?
In a nutshell, here are some steps you can take to avoid the pitfall of dieting and deprivation:
Look at eating, health and wellness as a lifestyle – not a short term fix
Promise yourself that you won’t diet again – remember to consider your diet as your nutrition plan to nourish your beautiful body
Focus on eating in a way that promotes your health, gives you energy and keeps you at your ideal weight
