Starvation Diets Never Work

The face of dieting is changing. For too many years we would diet, lose some weight, the weight would come back and we'd do it all over again. Today diet company's and the diet guru's are taking a different approach. They have finally seen the light and they know the public doesn't believe the claims of quick weight loss and permanent weight loss any longer.

So now, the guru's are preaching reform. Change your life and be a healthier person. Live a healthy lifestyle and you'll lose weight. "Eat clean", that's the new catch phrase. In fact, some say not to weigh yourself. Getting healthy is all about body fat. Lost a couple of pants sizes, that should be your goal. You'll look better and fell better. The scale isn't that important. I only use the scale once a week to see if I'm going in the right direction.

Sounds simple, ya. It's not that easy to forget everything you were taught as a child. To learn to like different foods. We are a product of our parents and other members of our family and if we have weight problems today it might be because of the way we grew up. So now as an adult, why is it that we are first realizing at this stage of our lives, that we need to lose weight. Or maybe we knew about this problem earlier as a teen or even earlier in grade school.

You might know that today pre-school and even grade school kids are not as heavy as they were 10 years ago. Things are changing and young parents are making that change. Kids under 10 years are more physically fit. They are more active and I think that some are starting to eat better. So there is hope that our population will become healthier over time.

But for now, we have to fix our own lives. If we truly want to be healthier we have to be more active and we have to eat better. Just going on another diet is probably not going to work. Oh sure, you might lose a few pounds but can you keep off the weight after you stop dieting. You see, there lies the problem. I'm one of those people who believe "diets don't work". It's a little like smoking because food can be addictive with all the sugars, salt and other chemicals that manufacturers use. Even when you buy produce or meat, chemicals are used to enrich the land where they grow the produce and chemical hormones are used in animals and poultry to stimulate growth. It's hard to get away from addictive in food, but there are new foods coming out, like organic produce and free range poultry and hormone free dairy and beef.

Eating healthy foods is the only way to permanently lose weight and avoiding foods with chemical, high-calorie foods, and processed foods.

I know what everyone is thinking, "those foods are expensive". Yes, I know, but eating healthy is more than just eating healthy foods, eating healthy also means that you have to cut back on the amount of food you eat. For families, this won't be easy. Families have to agree that they want to eat healthier, and that means cutting out the snack food and the high-calorie drinks. After that's done the cost of the healthy foods won't change your food bill.

There's a lot of benefits to eating healthier, especially for kids. They won't be sick as much so they won't miss as many school days. They'll do better in school because they'll be more alert and have more energy.  And being more active in their lives will help them lose body fat. For the adults, you will be more alert and sharper and being more active will help you lose body fat. You'll be more productive at work and at home.  And being a good role model for your kids will get them motivated. Anyone can be thin and trim and you don't have to live in the gym. It's pretty simple, eat clean and eat fresh and do more walking about, one hour a day more.
