Atkins, South Beach Diet, Weight Watchers,
Jenny Craig - Diets galore
If you’re a seasoned dieter you’re familiar with diets – probably far too many!
You’ve been spoilt for choice. Your dilemma: which one to try next...Atkins, the South Beach Diet, Jenny Craig, bare your soul with Weight Watchers, a microwave mystery tour with Nutrisystems, a gulp of Herbalife, a dalliance with the Mediterranean Diet or even a brave slurp of Cabbage Soup. Maybe even a voyage of discovery to find your absent abs... but hey, you’re still at it! What happened? Perhaps they delivered short-term weight loss, but the weight’s back again?
However sophisticated, however convincing their story, diets just don’t work when it comes to long-term, permanent weight loss. Billions of dollars later, there are more overweight people in the world than there have been in history. The horrible truth is that diets have hardly made a dent in the figures – numerical and actual! The reality is that they’ve made a dent in your bank balance. The diet industry in the US is now worth $46 billion dollars, which makes some people very happy and very rich, but the problem remains. Long-term, permanent weight loss seems an unattainable goal to the majority of people who are overweight – but it needn’t be!
Atkins, the South Beach Diet, Jenny Craig, Weight Watchers, Nutrisystems, Herbalife, the Mediterranean Diet, the Cabbage Soup Diet Sonoma, the Rice Diet, the list is endless. Low carb, low calorie, low fat - the result is nearly always the same. What diets fail to address is the habits that led you to become overweight in the first place. They don’t give you the means for you to change. They don’t help you to learn new ones that will enable you to lose weight and at the same time lead a normal life. That is what the Slim Habit will do for you.
How often in life do we spend huge amounts of time (and money) trying to cure a problem only to find that we’ve failed to identify where the real problem lies? Many of you will have seen The Dog Whisperer. In nearly every case it’s not the dog that’s at fault, it’s the owner. Owners are totally unaware of the effect they have on their dogs. Their habits and behaviors impact on their animals – and therefore on themselves. Once they understand and deal with this and they learn new habits, the dog’s behavior changes. Real problem identified, problem solved.
When it comes to losing weight, you also have to identify where the real problem lies. It’s not always about what you eat, (although that’s very important) but why you eat. Your habits, what you eat, what you drink, how much you eat, how much you drink, what prompts you to eat and why. Once you can identify your eating behaviors by becoming more self-aware, you can set about learning new habits and making the necessary changes. Identify the real problem, cure the problem. This is what the Slim Habit is all about. The Slim Habit is your way forward and you can start it here.
