WHY MOST WEIGHT LOSS DIETS ARE UNSUSTAINABLE

Most people are looking, at some point in their life, for the ultimate effective diet solutions that not only work, but offer fast, instant, rapid, quick and safe nutritional meals. They look for solutions that use vitamins, herbs, teas and even have online support, so they don’t have to go anywhere or tell anybody.
When people hear the words “weight loss”, it can actually bring up feelings of hopelessness. The studies show that Americans spend an estimated $30 billion a year on all types of diet programs and products, yet two-thirds of Americans are still overweight.
If you’re in the grocery store, and you’re standing in line, what you see is, that on the cover of every woman’s magazine every week is something about weight loss.
Since weight loss is a billion dollar industry, people have tried so many different things, and at the end of the day, they feel discouraged. Why bother to start again because it never works.
Because of the focus of the books and magazines on weight loss has mainly just been, “this is the food you’re supposed to eat.” It has made people confused and very discouraged. You can line up everybody buying all these new books, new diets
and ask, “Do you know how to eat?” And basically people know they shouldn’t be eating half gallons of ice cream and whole bags of potato chips and going to McDonalds every day. People already know that. What they don’t know is how to control their emotions.

EMOTIONAL EATING

The problem is that we’re eating emotionally, and no diet in the world is going to work. All the books now mention and even Dr. Phil has said that if you are an emotional eater you won’t be able to lose weight. But they’re not giving you any real tools or techniques to help you.
Losing weight doesn’t really help you lose the reasons why you turned to food to begin with. It doesn’t help you see yourself differently. It doesn’t help the feelings about yourself go away. It’s actually working on those beliefs that you can begin to create a healthy relationship with food.
The focus on food, and on weight is the problem, it’s not the solution. When you’re following a plan that requires abstinence, which is really a lifetime of deprivation, most people don’t keep it off. That’s because when they’re allowed
to add these foods back into their lives, they lose control again. Diets don’t work when they’re built on shame, deprivation, guilt, fear or punishment. They don’t work because they lead to binges. It’s been said that for every diet, there’s an equal and opposite binge. Which is why the studies show that 93% of people who lose weight successfully, gain it back within three years.
