What to do, oh, what to do? You've just spent a small fortune on a diet and months of toil and pain and, guess what? It's all coming back again! It's as if the scales have a magnet inside, dragging me back to my old weight! All that time and effort for nothing!
How common a story is this? Millions of people go on a diet every year and nearly all of them put the weight back on again. The $61 billion diet industry must be rubbing its hands with glee! It begs the question as to whether they want people to lose weight permanently?
So, how to lose weight? The first thing to remember is that diets don't deliver permanent weight loss. If you're happy with short-term weight loss, if you don't mind the weight coming back again, then fine, go on another diet. If you're happy to pop pills, then go ahead. Pill popping produces the same result as a diet. If you are thinking about popping pills, I'd think long and hard about what you're going to do. Do you know what the side-effects are? Do you know if people have suffered any long-term effects? Taking any sort of pill needs very careful consideration.
The fact is that if you want to lose weight permanently you have got to make change. Carry on in the same old way and you'll stay the same forever. No diet or pill is a substitute for getting to the root cause of your weight problem.
The first thing you have to do is to get rid of the habits that make you fat. What are they? Write down what you think they are. Get feedback from friends about what they think about your eating and lifestyle habits.
Making change is all about learning new habits, slim habits. If you learn new habits you will be able to make change and be able to enjoy a slim, diet free life...good for your health, healthy for your wallet!
