Dieting Does Not Work!

Dieting does not work! Dieting does not work because it is not sustainable. Anyone can starve themselves and lose a few pounds over the course of a week to few weeks. You may attain the goal of fitting into that new bikini or your favorite pair of jeans from long ago, BUT as soon as your will power gives out, there goes the new svelte figure and the resolution that was starved into temporary submission. 

Face it - the more you deny yourself something, the more you will crave it. That's just how the brain works. In this media saturated age, you are constantly bombarded with advertisements tempting you at every turn with delights that stimulate the taste buds, which only makes the task set before you almost impossible to adhere to. Unfortunately it will only be a matter of time before you give in and when you do, you are more likely than not to over consume. Basically not only do you gain back the weight you lost, most people end up weighing more than they did before the start of their diet.  

You love to eat because lets face it, FOOD TASTES GOOD! What is one to do then? Starve and live in misery? Well, that's what dieting is. So cut it out. Dieting is as unnatural as the concept of starvation is to the sustainability of life. It is not natural and it does not work.

Let me break it down for you...

1. If you diet - you will desire the thing you deprive yourself of even more and once you eventually break, give up and give in, you will gorge, overdose and overindulge that very thing.

2. When you overindulge you saturate the body with more than it needs to carry out its basic functions, including emergency storage.

3. When the body has more than it needs, it stores it as fat which leads to a whole host of problems ranging from medical to self esteem issues. Basically you become overweight & that is not good for your body, therefore not good for you. I will get into all the implications of this state of the body another day.

So again I ask, what is one to do in light of this dilemma? Simple. Do what the body was designed for. Eat and live. Yes, it is that simple. There are no tricks to handling this superb organism called the human body that is new under the sun. You just need to know how to treat it with respect and equanimity. Don't abuse your body!

I designed this blog to instruct you in simple everyday means to achieve the goal of being free to eat and live as we were meant to, without the unnatural state of dieting which frankly is inhumane, and yet maintain a fit and trim physique.

So are you ready to be fit and trim and on the way to a healthier, less miserable you? Then start with this...

Step 1 - STOP DIETING. Cease and desist (unless you were placed on a supervised plan by your physician or nutritionist for health purposes). 

Bon appetit!
