Over the past twenty-five years my clients have lost thousands of pounds. Some of them were able to keep it off for many years, and others, well, let’s just say, life got in the way.
I talk with many people every day who are on different diets. And the truth is that you can lose weight with any diet, after all, that’s what they were designed for. Diets are designed for you to lose weight. So you will lose weight with practically any diet out there. Unfortunately, the vast majority of people who lose weight by dieting end up gaining it back.
This is because diets were designed for you to lose weight, not keep it off. So most people will lose the weight, then gain it back. And they end up repeating this process over and over again as if they’re trapped in a vicious cycle.
This is what I call the weight loss trap.
People who are trapped in this never-ending cycle of dieting and weight gain, because they haven’t changed the fundamental reasons why they gained weight in the first place.
The same is true of most chronic diseases. There are no cures. However, they can be reversed, by changing your lifestyle.
So if you’re currently following a particular diet, I want you to ask yourself, is the way you’re eating sustainable over the long term?
In other words, will you be able to sustain your way of eating ten years from now?
If the answer is no, then it is just a short-term diet.
If it’s a short-term diet, you’ll probably lose the weight, but chances are you will gain it back because you haven’t made enough lifestyle changes to be able to sustain the results you will get.
If you want to be healthy you have to live a healthy lifestyle. If you want to lose weight and maintain it, then you have to develop a lifestyle that allow you to easily maintain that weight without constantly dieting.
In other words, you have to break free of the weight loss trap. The easiest way to do this is to slowly change one habit at a time.
