"I can't... I'm on a diet!" We often hear these words, but how often do we think of the gloomy faces and gestures that accompany them? We've come to expect that the dieter has set out on some unpleasant journey. The words are almost groaned and there are sighs which suggest the dieter is in mourning. That's all because of the perception we have about diets. They are unpleasant, nasty, painful things, aren't they? This is partly down to all the media guff that goes with the latest (unhealthy) dieting quirks: gluten free, grapefruit, New Totals, high fiber... You name it, there's always some variation on the dieting theme. Nobody really likes the sound of these diets, and we fully expect them to be unpleasant... but that's okay, they'll 'do us good'. But is this true? Weight loss may soon be apparent and you'll feel greatly encouraged. But statistics show that most people give up sooner rather that later, and even go back to their old ways with a vengeance! No wonder! How long can your spirits if not your body survive on cabbage and melons? I Want It Now! So many things are 'instant' these days, aren't they? Instant coffee, instant downloads, fast foods... No wonder we apply the same thinking and expectations to our dieting. Has the flab become a complete turn-off? Is it causing certain health issues? So let's deal with it - not in six months, but NOW! In our heart of hearts we may have doubts about the latest dieting fads and gimmicks, but the copywriters know just how to reel us in. So we part with our hard-earned cash for an instant but unhealthy dieting method - even though we don't really trust it. Some folks even opt for stomach bypass surgery, that's how desperate they are for quick results. Even though this procedure was designed for extremely obese patients, they will ignore their doctor's advice and go for private treatment. Counteracting Unhealthy Dieting The tendency to bury our heads in the sand is a very human trait - and it's one that many dieters are prone to! Let's be up front and face the facts. In order to acquire the shapely, healthy body of your dreams you need to do two things over a period of time. One is to nourish your body with the correct amount of foods from the different food groups so that you meet your needs. The other is to engage in moderate physical activity. Think about it. This is really great news! You won't need to avoid your favorite foods. You won't need to go hungry. You can eat what you like in moderation, and enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that your health and weight are going to be right. So toss those unhealthy dieting plans - and all the misery that goes with them - out the window. Look forward to an improved figure, an improved self-image, more balance in your emotional life. That dessert or cookie is no longer forbidden, provided you keep to your daily limits and are reasonably active. Who says dietng has to be unhealthy? It doesn't even have to be unpleasant?
