I don’t know how often i saw people “going on a diet” just to gain back whatever pounds they lost afterwards.
So you seriously believe that eating “light bread spread” or eating grapefruit for a couple weeks will help you to permanently lose a lot of weight?
I can tell you what would happen: You start any of such diet, and with each day your craving for a hearthy chicken or a burger or a pizza will drive you mad! I myself probably couldn’t do it longer than a day or two myself, then I would just give-in.
Because the body is STARVING for the calories lost. Less sugar, less fat, more water. No thank you. After a few weeks you are done with the “diet”. Maybe you lost a few pounds, maybe you lost a whole bunch of points.
Well, it’s not a surprise. Because you didn’t really eat anything in that time. But now you are eating “normal” again and you will join the many and many of people on the rollercoaster ride. This time it will go UP again, your body is missing all the good food. Notice the fallacy here?
Do Skinny People eat Diet Foods?
The other thing… and I am sorry I have to tell you that: Most skinny people don’t use any of such diet products, AT ALL. Skinny people are not all skinny and fit because all they do is supposedly taking diet foods and follow the latest craze about what was Oprah was talking about on her show a week ago.
They don’t. However, the diet industry wants you to believe that this is the key to losing weight, they want you to their special shakes and products. Don’t you think it is a little odd that such claims are made – while in reality the people without any weight problems probably never ever touched a “light” pepsi or bothered to substitute sugar in their coffee with a sweetener?
Furthermore, it can be assumed that an overweight person has indeed a higher calory “intake” as opposed to some skinny 120lbs cheerleader. Why then does the diet industry think that it would be good to reduce the calory intake for those overweight people – which would make it even harder for those overweight people- and much, much more likelier that they will gain back whatever pounds they lost after that one or two weeks of “diet”?
This is why most diets simply don’t work – and this is why you need to attack your weight problem by changing your life-style and not with the latest fad diet.
