Thought for the Moment

Why Dieting Is The Absolute WORST Thing You Can Do To Lose Weight
Part 1
by Kathryn O'Neill



Astrology is for Skeptics

Real astrology doesn't tell you how to run your life.

It doesn't make your decisions for you.

It doesn't say you're consigned to a certain "fate."

Real astrology charts life's natural cycles.

It describes your experiences in ways that make sense.

Experience what Real Astrology can do for you!!

We've all heard the rallying cry over the past decade: "Diets don't work!"

The backlash against diets has been tremendous, and rightly so. It's a well-known fact that 95-98% of those who lose weight on a typical diet will gain that weight back (and probably more!).

So obviously diets aren't working right?

Well, it depends on how you look at it and whom you ask. There are still that 5% of dieters who apparently haven't gained the weight back. (Wouldn't you actually like to meet one of those people someday?)

So I wouldn't say diets don't work. Because, technically, they do. In general, if you restrict your calories you will lose weight.

If diets never allowed anyone to lose weight they would have been passe long ago. Instead, the diet industry just keeps chugging along, raking in billions of dollars a year, making more and more outrageous promises.

Somebody's got to be getting results somewhere!

But perhaps the better question to ask yourself is this:

Does dieting work FOR YOU?

Does dieting work for you in the sense that it moves you towards your goals (permanent weight loss, natural slimness, and freedom from worry)?

I believe that for 95% of the population, the answer is a definite 'NO!'

Diets may work in the sense that they can take off weight under certain circumstances. But diets are far from the best method to lose weight.

In fact, for most people trying to lose weight, diets are the WORST thing they can possibly do!

Diets actually set people up to gain weight!

How? Well, diets are harmful by the very nature of what they do to our physical bodies. (slowing the metabolism, making the body extra efficient at fat storage, etc).

But maybe worse is what they do to our minds!

There are 2 ways in which diets mentally TRAIN us to gain weight.

First of all, we all know that what we focus on, we are drawn to. We are told that if we want to achieve any goal, we should focus on that.

  • Picture where you want to be.
  • Visualize it.
  • Think and grow rich.
  • Imagine your success in vivid detail.
  • See yourself crossing the finish line.

Why do we do this? Because our minds are powerful and what we think about, we are drawn to.

So what do diets make us focus on? The food!

We're constantly thinking,

  • 'Is that hot dog on my list?'
  • 'How many exchanges is that hamburger worth?
  • 'How many points is this banana bread?'
  • 'Is that salad dressing really low carb?'
