Albert Einstein once said that "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." Scientific studies prove that one-third to two thirds of all dieters regain more weight than they lost within four (4) years. Are you going insane making the same resolution to diet, year after year, only to gain your weight back? It's time to make a New Years Resolution to STOP dieting, once and for all!
Restrictive diets are temporary fixes that make you focus on food even more, stress you out and in the end set you up for the likelihood of regain. And most diets promise you much of the same by promising (in small writing, of course) "results NOT typical."
With this 'promise', diet companies compete for your attention by touting low carb, no carb, high/low protein, low fat, low sugar, counting points or packaged meals. However, in a study examining diets with different proportions of carbohydrates, protein and fat, researchers found that it made NO difference what kind of diet people followed. By reducing calories they initially lost weight but after two years average participants had regained weight and were on a path to further regain.
For a lack of results to be the norm it's really surprising that diet companies are even still in business. But, consider the economics of the diet industry. It is the only industry that continues to grow consistently without proven or satisfactory results for the majority of its consumers. In fact, as the diet industry has prospered the overweight and obesity rates in America have soared and propelled lifestyle diseases like diabetes and heart disease.
What's that tell you? WARNING - Stop dieting! Stop going insane!
