When you decide to go on a weight loss diet you expect to get help and support to do well. I have been dieting all my adult life and having finally succeeded this year I now know that most of the diet schemes and gurus are telling lies. Here are the top 4 weight loss diet lies in no particular order.
Weight loss lie 1. You will not be hungry on this diet.
You so want to believe this when you start on a diet because you know you will be hungry. Common sense will tell you that because you are eating less you will get hungry? And yet diet book after diet book insist that you will not feel hungry on their diet. You will not be stuffing your stomach with food all day like you normally do so it means you will be hungry.
Weight loss lie 2. No diet is possible without a strong will.
They even say it will be easy to stick to a diet. The strict dieting requires iron willpower and complete commitment. You are in a personal struggle for your bodies health. It will not be easy.
Weight loss lie 3. You can eat what you like and no one will know you are on a diet.
You most definitely cannot eat what you like. That's you have a weight problem now. You will not be eating all your favourite foods while you are on the diet. You will be eating things you are not used to and may not enjoy very much. But by doing this you will lose weight
Weight loss lie 4. You will find it easy to keep the weight off when you finish.
You will find it very difficult to keep the weight off and will have to plan your strategy for keeping slim at the end of your diet. It will not just happen.
I hope this dose of reality doesn’t make you too miserable about your diet. I hope you can see that this will help you not hinder you. I am living proof that it can be done.
