Change Your Mindset About Diets(if you want lasting weight loss)

There seems to be an unlimited stream of diets these days

How did eating so complicated?

People keep paying out lots of money for new fad diets when they're merely the same old thing repackaged with impressive marketing strategies.

A Google search on the word “diet,” will bring you a huge amount of search results.

It's so great that the internet is loaded with information.

What's not so great is that it’s also filled with huge amounts of data that portray dieting as the panacea for weight loss.

The word diet has come to mean a method of restrictive eating habits aimed at losing or gaining weight. With an emphasis on "restrictive."

There are many different restrictive “diets” with thousands and thousands, of voices barking at us every day why their particular version of restrictive diet is the greatest one to follow. We want to lose weight, so we get on board. 

But…

Is it possible this diet mentality is completely wrong?

These types of diets just don’t work. You might lose those extra pounds at first, but eventually, they’ll return. Fad diets fail in the long term. 

What's a diet, really? 

A “Diet” is the entire pattern of your eating habits. Our physical health is closely linked to our food choices. Those food choices and our physical health are cumulative. Your diet is the sum of your eating patterns.

“When we reject diets and diet culture, we learn that our bodies have amazing internal wisdom. They can tell us how much to eat, when to stop, and what foods make us feel most energized.” ~Christine Byrne
