Why Diets Don't Work - Part 1

Well if diets did work wouldn't everyone be skinning. Diets don't work because of something called "diet backlash binge-ing". Sound like a mouthful and in reality it can be a mouthful of food.

Diets have a list of good foods. Foods you are permitted to have on the particular diet plan. They also have a list of "bad foods". These are foods that are the "no, no's". In addition the "bad" food side of the list is always extensive while the "good" food side of the list is so very short.

Dieting people find themselves on a pendulum, staying on one particular diet for a while, getting tired of the food limitations...binge -ing on the very foods the diet prohibits. Eventually making a decision to find a different diet, but again this diet has a list of "good" foods to choose from and a list of foods you are not permitted to eat. Swinging back and forth from one diet to the next.

What kid of crazy way is this for us to live? Ask yourself what kinds of diets you have been on, how have they worked in the long run? What kinds of foods do you deprive yourself of eating and how has that worked for you? Check back next week, I have a crazy answer for you.
