Why diets don’t work
So many people set a goal to lose weight at the start of the year – but end up feeling frustrated and deflated as they deprive themselves of their favourite foods and don’t see the results they want. If this applies to you – don’t be despondent, you’re not alone! Check out my video to find out why most diets fail
Study after study prove to us that most people who go on a diet gain the weight back, sometimes more
1) Every diet is flawed as it doesn’t look at the cause of your destructive eating habits. And if they don’t look at it, how can they remove it. Diets focus on eating as a physiological concept, when it should really be about our thoughts and beliefs. It’s not about what you’re eating, it’s about what is eating you, what emotions are you feeling when you put your hand in the cookie jar and can’t stop, that’s what need to fix.
2) So many diets are focused around food restriction, and here’s the thing, scarcity makes you want more, the minute you can’t have something you want it. Eg can’t have carbs, if you decide to cut out carbs, you’ll find all you’ll think about and crave is carbs. When you can’t have something it makes you want it more. Even if you stopped sugar for 21 days, or replace your meals with shakes, you will still one day have to go back to regular eating. You can stop smoking, drinking, gambling, but you can’t stop eating. And that’s why so many people fail because they try to be super restrictive, they go on these calorie restrictive diets, food limiting diets and our bodies don’t like it, our bodies go into scarcity, and it makes us more likely to break the diets. Primal fear of hunger. We used to die of hunger, so our body naturally panics if we start restricting, and it will slow down the metabolism and will encourage us to eat more.
3) Diets don’t consider you as an individual, they have a one size fits all approach, but we’re all unique humans. You could be an emotional, destructive, habitual eater but diets have a one size fits all. But it’s about you, your make up, your feelings, your habits. You are unique, a diet has to suit you, your beliefs, your thought patterns, your upbringing, how food was talked about in your house. We’re all different, different abilities, activities.
