Think about it for a minute. There are literally tens of thousands of diet books out there on the market. If even one of them really helped us lose weight, why would there be so many others? If any of them worked, we’d be all skinny. You would assume by now the truth would be uncovered: it’s not all about cutting calories and depravation. Diets don’t work.
Going on a diet is like going into battle. Listen to all the words that come to mind when we think about losing weight: willpower, discipline, fighting cravings. It’s like being at war! Only we’re at war with our bodies and with ourselves.
It’s an approach that, for 95% of us, are doomed to fail.
Relax….
What if I told you that you could lose that weight without really thinking about it? No long marathons at the gym, no diet pills, no hunger, no guilt and no shame.
What if you could just make peace with your food, with your life, and with yourself?
You can. No more waiting till Monday to start your next diet. Starting today, right now, right this moment, it’s time to turn the page and start your new healthy lifestyle.
This is the No-Diet way to losing those unnecessary pounds and rediscovering the joyful, healthful, vibrant person you are meant to be.
Why don’t diets work? Because every single one of them involves a way of eating that is not natural for you. It requires you to fight your instincts, restrict your calories or to otherwise alter the way you eat for a specified period of time. Your body frequently interprets this physical, emotional, and mental deprivation as a stressor, as a famine, and even many times as a reason to hold onto the weight instead of losing it.
This is why so many of us quit dieting long before we achieve our goals.
And when the diet is over, whether we’ve achieved our goals or not, what do most of us do? We go back to eating the way we did before. And then what happens?
We gain the weight right back and then some. (The yo-yo effect.) This can put a strain on our body and our health. In a study conducted by Dr. Cornelia Ulrich of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle it said, women who had lost and gained weight the most times– dieting five times or more– also had the lowest levels of white blood cells. It’s time to get off the diet roller coaster and start from what might be a most counter-intuitive place, but one that can be very liberating for you.
Take the first step to quit worrying about food.
Be Grateful For Your Body Now
Your body is amazing. All it wants to do is protect you, heal you, keep you safe, and bring you safely through this life.
You can feed it the worst possible foods, and abuse it with alcohol, cigarettes, and drugs. You can fall from trees and break its bones, burn its skin in the sun, subject its lungs to toxic chemicals and fail to take it out for a walk every day, and still, in spite of all these odds…. your body will continue to work for decades to get back to health, wholeness, and vitality.
