The diet industry is the most successful failed business in the world. When someone embarks on a diet, all they think about is food. Which can exacerbate an unhealthy obsession with food, making dieters feel guilty. Some diets may be unhealthy as they starve the body of essential nutrients and diets that promote calorie restriction don’t work. Weight loss is also about motivation and dieting is not the answer to gain inspiration from as they feel restrictive. Researchers at the University of California concluded dieting can make you gain weight. 5-10% weight loss can be lost in the first 6 months- but up to two thirds regained more weight they had lost within five years.
It’s the quality over quantity, of calories you consume that matters. Most of the popular weight loss diets on the market endorsed by celebrities do not work and they have a team of chefs, nutritionists and personal trainers behind them to assist them. So your diet should be based on sensible eating and a check over of your diet with a qualified nutritionist to ensure you are on track and help you to address any nutrient imbalances. This in my opinion is much more effective and cost effective. Let your diet be just your personalised diet for life, healthy and sustainable.
