You are dedicated, you are sincere and you are being set up for failure. The fact is that in diets do work and they can help you lose weight - that is IF they are set up correctly and IF you can keep these dangerous components out of the mix.
Killer #1 - Black Listed Foods
Have you ever been told that you cannot have something? Perhaps when you were a kid you were told that you cannot have the toy that is sitting within arms reach. If so, wasn't that exactly what you thought of?
This is human nature, nothing becomes so desirable as that which is forbidden. And there is where out first diet killer comes on the scene. When you are told that you cannot have a particular food or food type you will of course want that food like never before. No sugar, candy becomes your equivalent of crack. No fat, all you see are visions of juicy steaks dancing in your head. Or worse yet, you are confined to only one food, say cabbage, all you see are steaks, and candy and ice cream.
Killer #2 - Slow And Steady Wins The Race
This is the conventional wisdom that has held people up for years. And it is a diet killer because when someone is finally ready to begin the battle with obesity the last thing they want to be told is that it will take years for them to get to where they want. The fact is that when obesity is a factor then losing weight rapidly is not only easy it is practically essential, both for health and motivation. Of course doctor supervision is advised, but there is no need to suffer through a measly pound or two of weight loss when far more is available for far less effort than the old eat less diets.
Killer #2 - No Pain No Gain
As if forbidden foods and slow progress weren't enough to make a person stop dieting add to them the malady of suffering with hunger pangs.
This is a real nail in the coffin for most diets. The fact is that going on any diet is a change, and as you know well, our minds resist change. Throw in this stomach gurgling discomfort with a relentless barrage of hunger pangs and rest assured you will be visiting your local quickie mart for all things fattening and sweet. So in your quest for diets that lose weight the the last enemy is to avoid the specter of hunger.
