Reasons To Safely Stop Dieting Now

By Martha Kennedy


People on diet have returned different results reigniting the debate over the value of such actions. Health experts in some circles are also encouraging people to abandon such plans. If you want to stop dieting now you have all the reasons and facts you need to take that bold step. These reasons have been compiled after years of observation and experiments.

There is no guarantee of sustained results. Reliable statistics indicate that only 20 percent of entrants are still on diet one year on. By two years, an even greater number has dropped out. Such statistics indicate that the process does not offer promised results. This is mainly attributed to the fact that the process is not natural. Failure to stick to such a program leads to frustration causing eating disorders and eventually the person adds more weight.

Inability to stick to this program to the end leaves many people weighing more than they did before commencement. The body is on rebound and wants to recover all the fats lost. Since it feels deprived, you end up adding more weight and battling low self esteem. The rebound is frustrating and sometime uncontrollable.

Dieting confuses your body leading to internal conflict. There is a feeling of hunger and decreased metabolism. The human body responds through an adaptive thermo genesis mechanism. It seeks to keep the body fat level constant. Signals sent to the nervous system reduce fat metabolism though you will feel extreme hunger. The body will be working against natural wishes leading to conflict.

Dieting consumes a lot of energy and time. You will be engaged in a full time job where you have to think of the foods you eat, their quantities, calories, etc. This denies you the freedom to experience foods naturally. It takes a lot of willpower, time and energy to accomplish this goal. You will be engaged in a restrictive eating cycle that comes with guilt and conflicts.

Diets are external interventions. To your body, there is an external force insisting that you must lose weight by eating certain foods at a particular time and in specific quantities. You are forced to ignore natural cravings and hunger pangs. There appears to be some disconnect between personal preferences and demands of your program. This explains the resistance and negative results obtained.

There is the possibility of overeating from guilt and craving. The body raises the instinctive value of certain foods when they are restricted. It results from a feeling of deprivation and a strong craving. Once the craving becomes uncontrollable, you feel guilty and end up eating in an uncontrollable manner. You enter into an eat-repent-eat-repent cycle.

According to experts, there is need to accept your body size. Cultivate a culture of being happy and content with your body size. Further, obey cues by your body indicating fullness when eating. Be conscious of your size and do not allow it to dictate your activity or inactivity. Be conscious of signals sent when feeding without allowing them to control you.
