Diets an Unrealistic Approach to Lose Weight

Living a healthy and a happy life for some has become a dream come true. Since ages the myth of losing weight is to watch over your calorie intake and to keep track of the things that you eat by sustaining yourself from eating your favorite food.

Diets help you lose weight by telling you just how much food you should eat irrespective of whether it is your favorite food or not. But then this is a short term process.

Deliberately restricting yourself from eating food to lose weight is known as dieting. There are very few diets that really teach you about low fat cooking, low-calorie diet etc. Most of these diets encourage unhealthy restrictions and are not really safe.

Diets don't teach you to overcome your desire towards your favorite food nor do they teach you how to overcome your hunger thus making you lose your interest in losing your weight altogether.

You lose heart every time you change your diet plan and end up gaining more weight rather than losing weight because you tend to eat more and more and exercise less and less causing you much frustration and depression.

People all over the world have tried dieting some time or the other in their whole life as they feel that by dieting they can get the desired body shape, thus creating an unhealthy lifestyle full of physical and emotional imbalance.

Due to strict diet regime you tend to ignore your mind which sends out signals of distress when your stomach is hungry and craving for food, thus harming your own body both physically as well as psychologically.

Following strict diet regime you tend to lose your ability to eat in response to your own physical need, when your body finally goes against the wishes of your mind you feel guilty and defeated when you start gaining weight.

Diets actually bring down your morale and self-esteem when you fail to follow the strict diet regime. These diet regimes are short termed as it becomes very difficult to follow them, as they drain you out both physically as well as emotionally.

People who believe in diets end up with a poor unbalanced body without proper nutrition which are really harmful for the overall development of the body. Diets don't really work so the best way to lose weight is eat small portions of food and exercise regularly.
