Why Kick The Diet?
It’s that time of year again and you may be following, or know someone who is on a “diet” or “watching what they eat”, but how do you know what diet or healthy eating plan is sustainable and will help you achieve your weight goals and it isn’t just another gimmick?
Now there is a weight management programme that will get you the results we want, and with no negative effects on your health, thats effective both long and short term and practical for the way we live today.
This is a weight management programmes that does not restrict you to eating only certain types of foods such as high protein with carbohydrate removed counting calories or points. You can mix certain types of food at one meal or in the same day. No pills or shakes. Fighting the fat comes in many packages and often these can work well, for so long, but what happens when you stop? The old eating patterns, that got us to the place of needing to diet in the first place, become “normal” again as the yo yo diet cycle begins. The reassuring eating habits fall back into place with the beliefs and patterns imprinted in us in childhood.
Often we “fall off our diet” as the so called “naughty” foods creep back in with a vengeance and foods labeled “sinful, taboo foods” start to become impossible to resist and the portion sizes grow.
Psychologically, many diets create a feeling of “being deprived”, not being able to have the things we really want and once we are off the diet” these foods can prove to be just too hard to resist. Before long thoughts are constantly that of food as it starts to take control of where we go and who we socialize with and the emotions of guilt, anxiety and fear take hold. Physiologically, our bodies have become accustomed to having less energy and as a result has now into “famine alert”, slowing down to conserve the little energy it has. When normal eating is resumed everything eaten is dealt with at a much slower rate and more fat is stored as our metabolic rates run slower to make best use of the food it is now receiving. Our bodies are programmed to hold onto fat stores so in times of dieting which the body considers to be “famine” our bodies can actually go as far as breaking down muscle and loosing water in order to hold onto fat reserves and our bodies then build up extra fat stores, in case this type of famine occurs again. As a result many of us have regained the weight we lost after dieting, or we are constantly battling to keep within a manageable weight, maybe some of us have even regained the weight lost whilst dieting and even weigh more now than you did before you started to diet.
Take action once and for all!
