The only thing growing faster than the $65 billion diet industry is
the American waistline. If your Resolution for the New Year is to
GO on a Diet, the only place I guarantee you will go….is up in
weight.

It’s a Fact – Diets will only make you fatter.

When it comes to the latest in Diet fads, we are quite gullible and
easily tempted by a Diet’s empty promised. Reason being….the diet
industry KNOWS we are in search of the “quick fix” and will only
play with our emotions – our desperation for the quickest way to
relieve looking and feeling fat.

Diets are nothing more than Temporary Solutions with many
lingering, negative side effects.

Here are the Top 10 Reasons Why you should NOT “go” on a Diet

1. Diets do NOT work. Diets have a 99% Failure Rate. Have you
noticed a pattern yet? Lose weight….quickly regain it? Over time,
studies show if you diet you are more likely to be overweight than
people who eat normally and make small gradual changes to their
lifestyle. No, the Law of Averages does not apply to this faulty
system.

2. Dieting can be Dangerous. Any time you severely restrict the
amount or types of foods you eat you put your health and life at
risk. Dieting has been related to injuries and sudden deaths from
electrolyte imbalance, malnutrition, and heart arrhythmia’s. Weight
cycling, or yo-yo-ing weight, is associated with higher death rates
- especially if some type of pills are being used. At no point
should you ever place weight loss above your health.

3. Dieting Destroys your Metabolism. Diets will cause your weight
to quickly cycle up and down. Sure, you may lose weight quickly
because you are simply not eating enough. In the initial stages,
the first seven to nine pounds lost are water, presenting a real
danger of dehydration and mineral deficiencies. Even more
terrifying ins the break down of lean muscle due to inefficient
nutrients and calories. If you are losing more than 3-4 pounds a
week, you can be sure this is what is happening – very little fat
is lost this state.

Now, any muscle loss will cause your metabolism slow to a crawl.
The cumulative effect takes place for you cannot survive very long
on very low calories (1200 or less) and you will eventually eat
more – on top of a slower metabolism. All those excess calories
will be stored as fat – causing rapid weight gain.

4. Dieting is Exhausting. Diets are just reduced calorie Fads
disguised by a clever gimmick. “Lose weight while you sleep” “Eat
all you want and still lose weight”
Not eating enough or cutting out certain food groups means your
body may not be getting the energy it needs, or may lack certain
nutrients. You will feel exhausted, light headed and experience
some not-so-fun mood swings.

5. Dieting is Disruptive. Dieting negatively affects your normal
eating patterns. Diets can lead to binge eating, overeating and
chaotic eating. When you diet, it is common to override your
internal signals telling you to eat. You end up trying to use
willpower or resist hunger signals and may even go as far as taking
appetite suppressants. This results in being unable to know when
you really are hungry or wore….when you’re full.

6. Dieting can lead to eating disorders. Experts state that the
high rates of eating disorders in the U.S. are due in part to
people dieting, losing weight, rebounding, and becoming chronic
dieters.

7. Dieting Causes Food Obsessions. If you spend a large amount of
time and energy depriving yourself of food or certain types of food
- you will spend more time thinking about food and become obsessed
attempts to control your weight by what you choose to eat or not
eat. How long do you want to live like this?

8. Dieting Diminishes Women. There is way too much attention
focused on our appearance and an arbitrary number on the scale. In
the midst of this focus – we end up avoiding what really matters to
us – our dreams and ambitions. Even worse, it erodes our confidence
and self-respect.

9. Dieting Intensifies Negativity. If you diet, you are more
judgmental and critical of yourself and others. Once again, wasted
time and energy.

10. Diets Put Your Life on Hold. Does this sound familiar….”I’ll
be happy when I weigh ______” Guess what, the issues in your life
are not related to your weight. Take responsibility and take back
control of your life. Decide to be happy now and do what it takes
to live a lifestyle that reflects your priorities.

So this New Year resolve to NOT go on a Diet – Set Yourself Free
from this miserable, guaranteed to fail weight loss cycle. Do NOT
let the diet industry make money by taking advantage of you. It is
time to stand up for yourself and take control.
