The problem with the word ‘diet’ is that it
implies a temporary solution.
As you know, anything temporary must come
to an end.
And when you reach that end, the old habits
come flying back along with all the weight
you lost.
If you tell yourself you are on a diet then you are
losing weight for the here and now.
If on the other hand you want to lose weight on a
more permanent basis then this is really a lifestyle
change.
Calling it this rather than a diet will not only fix it as
permanent in your mind but will take away all the
negative connotations of the word ‘diet’.
This long term, permanent lifestyle change is what you
want to achieve rather than just losing weight for the
moment.
Because dieting is short term, once we stop we gain
back the weight as we fall back into our old eating
habits.
This leads to “Yo-Yo Dieting” as we go from one diet to
the next in the hope that this is the solution to our
weight problems we have been searching for.
Each diet ends up the same. You
start out and experience quick
results.
Then you hit a plateau, binge and
gain back all the weight plus even
more.
And why do you gain all of the
weight back plus even more?
Because your body has what we call
a set point, like a natural thermostat
that regulates your weight.
When you first start to lose weight on a new
diet, your body goes into shock.
This is especially true of highly restrictive diets
that strictly control calorie intake.
You may initially lose 5 or even 10 pounds but
suddenly you hit that plateau and it seems
your new diet is no longer working for you.
So you cut even more calories in the hopes of kick-
starting the weight loss once more but nothing
drops off.
Because you have restricted your calories, your
body goes into self-preservation, survival mode.
And it’s all thanks to evolution.
In survival mode, your body overrides
your desire to lose weight too fast by
making you sluggish and lethargic.
Your metabolism slows right down.
You barely have enough energy to lift
your own arm let alone your entire body
to continue exercising.
If, on the other hand, you adopt steady
lifestyle changes your body does not fall
into survival mode.
Instead, it adapts and adjusts at a pace
that means those changes are incorporated
as new, long term habits.
Remember that it takes on average 30 days
to incorporate a new habit into your life so
don’t beat yourself up by expecting to
achieve it in less time.
Educating yourself with new, healthier eating and
exercise habits means that you avoid the destructive
patterns set up by traditional dieting.
After all – don’t you deserve to be the best version of
you so you can enjoy every aspect of your life?
Adjusting your lifestyle so that it enables you to
achieve that is one of the most important gifts you can
ever give yourself.
