DIET GIMMICKS TO AVOID
MYTH 1
YOU CAN LOSE 10 POUNDS IN A WEEK !!
.......The thing that you want is to lose fat and you cannot lose ten pounds of fat in a week ...... it is not physiologically possible !!
You can lost ten pounds of water, lean mass and the contents of your bowel when you go to the toilet !!
Such a harsh diet would also result in your metabolic rate slowing so that you would have rebound weight gain at the end .
MYTH 2
JUST FOLLOW THIS DIET AND THE PROBLEM WILL GO AWAY !!
..... How many diets do we need to follow before we realise that dieting just isn't going to work ?
....... If dieting worked then we would only ever have to do it once !!
The real solution to the problem is inside us ..... in our behaviours, our beliefs and habits ..... which of those do we need to change in order to have success ?
.... and then there are the feelings ....... if the weight has come about via emotional eating then no diet will solve the problem ........ will it ?
MYTH 3
THIS DIET WORKS FOR EVERYBODY !!
Everybody's biochemistry and body composition is different.
Everybody has a unique history with food and eating.
No single diet can suit all different people with different individual challenges.
MYTH 4
YOU DON'T NEED TO EXERCISE ON THIS DIET !!
All research shows this to be untrue !!
A large USA study of people who have been able to lose a substantial amount of weight and keep it off over a long period of time, found that they were generally people who consistently exercised.
It is possible to enjoy exercise and find activities that you can fit into your daily life ..... such as walking and dancing !!
MYTH 5
YOU CAN EAT AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE ON THIS DIET !!
.......They may say this but they never really mean it ..... do they ?
If you've ever done a low carbohydrate diet, you can feel elated about all that fat and protein food that you are going to be able to eat ....... but then after a few days ...... bad breath and constipation are the norm and a piece of toast seems like heaven !!
We encourage you to eat all the foods that you love when you follow this programme !!
