Why Diets Don't Work

Hey guys, Michelle Davidson here and today I�m going to talk about something that we�ve all been guilty of. And I�m going to tell you why we have and why they don�t work. Yes, I am talking about diets. You can�t turn on the TV open a magazine or even walk down the street without being confronted with America�s hottest obsession..weight loss. Diets are a billion dollar industry. Companies spend millions and millions of dollars luring you in to try the latest diet. Low carb, no carb, high fat, low fat, no fat. You Name It. There are tons of them out there and I know you know what they are, you�ve seen them and your bombarded with them every day. They all promise that you will be on the fast tract to skinny and it�s just not true. The worst part is advertising, you know, also effects our children and girls, especially girls by the ages of nine or ten have distorted body images. So, you know we�ve got to stop. We�ve got to stop. Our culture touts diet pills, celebrity workouts, convenience foods, trendy diets to help us achieve our desired weight but these quick fix solutions have backfired. Americans are larger than they have ever been before. In HISTORY. Americans are bigger than we�ve ever been. About half of Americans are overweight and one third are obese. Diets steer us away from our common sense and dip deeply into our pockets while providing few if any lasting results. I mean, WHY PAY? So. Why? Diets don�t work because each person is unique with different needs based on gender, age, ancestry, and lifestyle. How could one diet be right for anyone? There�s no one size, uh, one size fits all. Diets don�t work because they are extremem solutions. Just like in physics, if a pendulum swings to one side it had to swing equally to the other side. A diet may work for a short period of time but research actually shows that almost all diets result in a ten puond gain once off the diet. So, your yo-yo dieting and your constantly, when you get off the diet you gain ten pounds. How many times you gonna do that? Diets don�t work because they�re too restrictive. People who fail on diet plans are not flawed or weak. Diets by nature require discipline and restrictions at levels that are unsustainable by healthy human beings. People are disconnected by why they gain weight in the first place and see, you know, diet as the only culprit. For example, ignoring or discounting emotions is the first thing that causes weight imbalances. In our fast paced world we have lost sight of many aspects of like that truly nourish and balance our bodies such as slowing down, eating home cooked meals, YES home cooked meals. To be honest I mean think about it the time it takes you to drive to your fast food restaurant, go through the drivethru and go home you can create a well balancd meal and it can be very simple. Thats I tell all of my Incredimoms. Keep it simple. There are plenty of recipes that are quite tasty that are five ingredients or less. And when you become a part of my community I share those recipes with you. So, you know spend time with quality. Spending qualtiy time with family and friends is also important. And I mean in person people, not on facebook, not on the internet, I mean in person. And people that you actually like. Eating consciously and making simple lifestyle changes will create positive results but you have to stop the yo-yo dieting. Working with your body instead of against it will bring you increased energy, stabilized weight and sustainable health. Thats it for today ladies.
