That Four
Letter Word
Don't Diet,
Aim For Life Style
Change
That four letter word 'diet' brings about all
sorts of different emotions in people and more often than not
those emotions tend to be negative. To most people a diet is a
struggle. It is something that they would rather not have to
do. People only do on diets because they know that they have to
do something about their weight and their health. It is a
choice made out of necessity.
As soon as you believe you are on
a diet you also become aware of the fact that you are going to
get off it again and what do you expect will happen when you
get off the diet that is helping you to get in
shape?
For most people getting off a
diet means reverting back to their former lifestyle and that is
the lifestyle that got them overweight in the first
place.
What you really should be doing
is not dieting but making lifestyle changes because lifestyle
changes are something that you can continue with forever. If
you make lifestyle changes that result in healthy body weight
then you will maintain that body weight for as long as you
maintain that lifestyle. It is not something that you will get
off at the end of achieving a result. A lifestyle is a way that
you intend to live for the long-term and that is how you will
remain in good shape for the long-term.
How often do you hear people
saying that they are on a diet? And the next minute they are no
longer on the diet.
What they should be saying is; I
have made lifestyle changes and the result of those changes
have been a reduction in body fat, an increase on my energy
levels and an overall improvement in health.
That is what lifestyle changes
can do for you and it is something that short-term diets rarely
achieve.
