Going on a diet? Many people are, as the warmer weather is just around the corner.
You don't want to look bad in those skimpier summer cloths, so you decide to "diet".
You know, going on a diet also implies that you will eventually go off your diet - whether you 'fall off' it, or return to 'normal eating'.
The secret to losing weight and keeping it off is to create a new eating plan that will BECOME your normal eating. And this is the place that most of the popular 'diets' fail.
Any diet that restricts your intake of ANY necessary nutrients too severely will ultimately fail you. In order to lose weight and maintain your weight loss indefinitely, you need to teach yourself to eat a balanced diet in portions that your body needs.
Be sure to emphasize 7 to 9 servings of vegetables and fruits and you will often find that there is less room for the calorie loaded foods.
Again, once you make this a life time way of eating, you have put yourself on the path to better health and an appropriate weight. Keep up the good work!
