THE TRUTH ABOUT DIETS …

I often get asked about diets, which diets  are the best , which diets really work and if diets actually do work. So in today’s I want to get down to the nitty gritty!

A typical conversation had by many people in my profession often goes something like this…….

Client: “I REALLY want to lose weight”
Professional: “Great! Have you tried to lose weight before?”
Client: “Yes, so many times! Nothing works!”
Professional: “What have you tried before?”
Client: “X diet, Y diet, juicing, pills, etc etc”
Professional: “Tell me a little bit about the results you got”
Client: “Well I did it for four  weeks and lost weight”
Professional: “What happened after four weeks?”
Client: “I went back to eating normally and put all the weight back on”

Does this sound familiar? Because I know I hear it all the time. And I also hear people say that “this diet worked” and “that diet worked” but forgive me for the harsh words I’m about to say… they didn’t did they? Usually when I say this I get people defending said diet and insisting it worked.

But let’s get honest and straight talking here. What we need to address is the definition of what ‘works’……

Many people out there want to feel good, they want more confidence, more energy, to sleep better, feel happier, vibrant , healthy , full of life, feel proud of their achievements, feel fit toned and attractive, feel hormonally balanced  rather than ‘hormotional’ , get rid of their digestive issues, such as IBS etc , they  want to achieve short and long term goals, and one of the biggies… they want to be around to live life to the full , enjoy spending quality time with their children and grandchildren for many years to come.

So let me ask you this. Did your short term diet achieve any of these things above?

No.

You lost a bit of weight over  four weeks but the bigger boxes were not ticked at all. Losing a bit of weight and then putting most of it or  all of it back and not addressing the other health issues that  may be going on in your body ,is not the definition of something working.

Continuing to do this to your body results in your metabolism slowing down (making it so much harder next time). It is also a horrible journey psychologically. You feel elated at your short term weight loss but then come mentally crashing down when you put the weight back on. That feeling of failure is not nice and often creates a downward spiral of falling into even worse habits as the feelings of helplessness takes over.

So, for those of you currently on a ‘diet’ ,let me ask you. Do you feel different? Do you feel more confident? Do you feel in optimum health?  Do you feel happier ? Do you look in the mirror and grin back at what you see? Do you feel proud of what you have achieved so far? Do you have more energy?Are you sleeping better? Are your hormones balanced? Have your digestive issues disappeared?

If the answer to ANY of those above is “no” then it is time to make changes. Because faddy diets don’t work. They are never a long term plan.
