Top 10 Reasons Why You Must Not “go” On A Diet
The only thing growing quicker than the $65 billion diet industry is the American waistline. If one of your New Years resolutions was to Go on a Diet, the only place I guarantee you will go….is up in weight.
It’s a Fact – Diets will only make you fatter.
When it comes to the newest in Diet fads, we are quite gullible and easily tempted by a Diet’s empty promised. Reason life….the diet industry KNOWS we are in quest of the “quick fix” and will only play with our emotions – our anxiety for the quickest way to relieve looking and feeling stout.
Diets are nothing more than Temporary Solutions with many lingering, unenthusiastic side effects.
Here are the Top 10 Reasons Why you must NOT “go” on a Diet
1. Diets do NOT work.
Diets have a 99% Failure Rate. Have you noticed a pattern yet? lose weight….quickly regain it? Over time, studies show if you diet you are more likely to be overweight than people who eat normally and make small gradual changes to their lifestyle. No, the Law of Averages does not apply to this faulty logic.
2. Dieting can be Perilous.
Any time you severely restrict the quantity or types of foods you eat you place your health and life at risk. Dieting has been related to injuries and sudden deaths from electrolyte imbalance, malnutrition, and heart arrhythmia’s. Weight cycling, or yo-yo-ing weight, is associated with higher death rates – especially if some type of pills are life used. At no point must you ever place weight loss above your health.
3. Dieting Destroys your Metabolism.
Diets will cause your weight to quickly cycle up and down. Sure, you may lose weight quickly because you are simply not eating enough. In the initial stages, the first seven to nine pounds lost are water, presenting a real danger of dehydration and mineral deficiencies. Even more terrifying ins the break down of lean muscle due to inefficient nutrients and calories. If you are losing more than 3-4 pounds a week, you can be sure this is what is happening – very small stout is lost this state.
Now, any muscle loss will cause your metabolism slow to a crawl. The cumulative effect takes place for you cannot survive very long on very low calories (1200 or less) and you will eventually ea
1000
t more – on top of a slower metabolism. All those surplus calories will be stored as stout – causing rapid weight gain.
4. Dieting is Exhausting.
Diets are just reduced calorie Fads disguised by a clever gimmick. “lose weight while you sleep” “Eat all you want and still lose weight” Not eating enough or cutting out certain food groups means your body may not be getting the energy it wants, or may lack certain nutrients. You will feel exhausted, light headed and experience some not-so-fun mood swings.
5. Dieting is Disrupting.
Dieting negatively affects your normal eating patterns. Diets can lead to splurge eating, overeating and chaotic eating. When you diet, it is ordinary to override your domestic signals telling you to eat. You end up trying to use willpower or resist hunger signals and may even go as far as taking appetite suppressants. This results in life unable to know when you really are hungry or wore….when you’re full.
6. Dieting can lead to eating disorders.
Experts state that the high rates of eating disorders in the U.S. are due in part to people dieting, losing weight, rebounding, and becoming chronic dieters.
7. Dieting Causes Food Obsessions.
If you spend a large quantity of time and energy depriving yourself of food or certain types of food – you will spend more time thinking about food and become obsessed attempts to control your weight by what you choose to eat or not eat. How long do you want to live like this?
8. Dieting Diminishes Women.
There is way too much concentration focused on our appearance and an arbitrary digit on the scale. In the midst of this focus – we end up avoiding what really matters to us – our dreams and ambitions. Even worse, it erodes our confidence and self-respect.
9. Dieting Intensifies Negativity.
If you diet, you are more judgmental and critical of yourself and others. Once again, wasted time and energy.
10. Diets Place Your Life on Hold.
Does this sound familiar….”I’ll be pleased when I weigh “x pounds.” Guess what, the issues in your life are not related to your weight. Take dependability and take back control of your life. Influence to be pleased now and do what it takes to live a lifestyle that reflects your priorities.
So this year resolve to NOT go on a Diet. Set Yourself Free from this miserable, cast iron to fail weight loss cycle. Do NOT let the diet industry make money by taking advantage of you. It is time to stand up for yourself and take control.
