When you decide to go on a diet you are very likely to attract a great deal of comment and advice - sometimes much more than you would like. People are always eager to tell you what to do, but how much of the advice you get should you listen to?
There is always the diet of the moment. Someone is bound to have tried it. Have you noticed that people who recommend things often say things are good when in fact they are not? It's not that they want to do you any harm or to mislead you: mostly they want to justify their decision to themselves.
If you are after a quiet life, the best thing you can do if you want to lose weight is to tell nobody. People don't mean any harm, in fact they want to support you. They mean well, but they can also give you a lot of unwanted pressure, which you do without.
So, the first thing to do is to keep things to yourself. Do your own research. Make your own decisions. If you rely too much on the advice of others you will find out the truth the hard way.
Decision time...what to do? Here's the most important tip you'll ever get if you want to lose weight and for the weight not to return. Don't go on a diet!
Diets are the traditional way of losing weight. The diet industry is worth over $61 billion. That's a lot of money, so presumably diets must work? The fact is that diets deliver short-term weight loss. 95% of people who go on diets never achieve what all dieters want - permanent weight loss.
So what's the answer? The simple fact is that if you want to lose weight permanently you have to change. You have to get rid of the habits that make you fat. You do this by learning new ones - slim habits.
Learning new habits is the only sure fire way of making change. It means that you can learn new eating and lifestyle habits that will be with you forever and it will allow you to take control of your life so that you never have to go on a diet again.
