When I”m chatting to people who I can see are trying really hard to improve their health, I hear them earnestly telling me all of the things they are doing that don”t seem to be working. All I ask them to consider is where their information is coming from. Health is sadly not taught at schools alongside Algebra, even though it”s something that would impact most peoples quality of life more then Algebra ever could. I always like to keep health simple and say to my clients that if its heavily marketed then keep away from it. The purpose of clever marketing is to increase sales not to tell facts.
So over the next few weeks I will publish a series of some of the common mistakes most people make on their journey to health.
MISTAKE No. 1 – Dieting And Depriving Yourself.
The diet industry is one of the largest industries in the world. There are all sorts of books written about how to lose weight, there are more diets out there than hot meals you can eat in a whole year. Crazy diets like Grapefruit Diet, Cabbage Diet, Protein Diet etc. Hold on!! Just think about it if the diets really worked we would all be skinny and happy and the diet industry would not exist!
Diets, by their very nature, are doomed to fail. That’s because when we “go on” a diet, we know that at some stage we are going to “come off” that diet. Once we reach our ideal weight, we go back to how we were eating before – which is what made us put on online casino the weight in the first place! This is when you look for another diet and then another. Diets are nothing more than a quick fix solution to a long-term challenge. So the key is to look at eating habits, health and wellness as a lifestyle, not a short term fix.
If your body is deprived of any macro-nutrients, it will crave for food, this is when no matter how strong your will power you will cave in, this then causes more frustration and negative self talk, believe me it has nothing to do with your lack of will power. Your body needs to have all that it needs, in order to function properly, and if it does not get it, it tries to compensate and finally shouts out for it.
How to Avoid Mistake No. 1
Promise yourself that you won’t “diet” again, EVER!! Look for programmes that are focused on health as a lifestyle and educate you on how to easily incorporate wellness into your daily life.
Questions To Ask Yourself:
- Am I eating in a way that promotes my health and gives me energy?
- Can I easily incorporate this way of eating into my routine for my entire lifetime?
- How many diets have I tried, and how many of them worked long term?
- Am I conscious of enjoying my food, and not depriving myself?
- Do I have more than 10lbs to lose and want to do it in a way that is healthy and sustainable?
