New Diet Disguised As A "Lifestyle" Change
Did some diet coach tell you that you don't need to be on a diet: but you need to make a lifestyle change? They are essentially telling you that you need to avoid the food you enjoy, eat less, and exercise more FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE! That's the equivalent of being in Diet Prison! Why doesn't my thin friend Yolanda have to live in a "Lifestyle change" where she pushes aside the desserts, pizza, chocolate and ice-cream? That is the big question isn't it? Why do some people just eat, and not get overweight, and others feel like if you just look at food, you gain weight? These are legitimate questions that the Diet Industry doesn't want to answer.
They just want you to eat their diet food, diet supplements, diet plans and exercise plans to lose weight. That's the real success of a diet: not the original weight you lose, but the ability to maintain weight loss. It's been the excuse that thin people use to berate, and shame overweight people; to make them feel like it's THEIR fault that they gained weight, and can't lose it.
There is absolutely no scientific information that supports it; and furthermore, there is plenty of scientific research that shows it will actually slow down your metabolism, and make dieting to lose weight a losing proposition. Within two days of going on a diet, your metabolism will respond by slowing down. When you are under the effects of stress, your metabolism is suppressed, and even eating a "Normal" diet can make you gain weight.
