Ever Wondered Why Most Slim Fast Low Carb And Other Fad Diets Seem To Fail Miserably?
Many "struggling dieters" have tried many different ways to lose weight – everything from slim fast low carb shakes to "mystical" diet pills to the latest slimming bars and foods to extreme workouts and untold other ways to try and shake off those excess pounds.
Often they have a little success and lose a few pounds, other times they get zero results and are totally discouraged - never wanting to try again, for fear of ‘failure.
Yet even when they have had some ‘success’ in losing weight, it seems that ultimately over a period of time, those pounds that you may have so joyfully lost a few months ago just end up piling back on – know what I mean?
So why is that? Why do we struggle to lose weight, or if we do, why do we struggle to keep it off?
Let’s take a look at some of the reasons – with a view to finding some long term answers.
So, here’s 4 key reasons most slim fast low carb diets and their many variations fail 99% of the time:
1. Most Of The Time We Set Ourselves Up For Failure – we start out with all guns blazing, a fresh new start and full of resolve. We decide to do something like "cut out all sugars and fats" and "hit the gym" 5 days a week – we go hard out right? However "our resolve starts to wane after 5-7 days" - we start craving the foods we love, our body gets tired cos it’s not used to extreme exercise – till finally we give in to our cravings, go and have a huge ‘munch out’ and end up feeling guilty, condemned and thinking ‘what’s the use – I’m back to where I started’ – end result – we give up and feel like we’ve failed, and now we feel worse than if we never tried at all! – Sound familiar?
2. We Hurt Our Psychological Make-Up – having tried to lose weight with slim fast low carb diets or whatever, on many different occasions and failing to get the results we so desperately wanted hurts or ‘psyche’ or our thinking. Now losing weight looks like a massive mountain that we can never climb – why? Because every time we have tried before we have experienced only ‘failure’ or what we perceive as failure – and that plays havoc with the way we think about ourselves. Losing weight now appears to be a virtual impossibility – and our mind makes sure that we stay that way! Sound familiar?
3. Most Slim Fast Low Carb Diets Fail To Embrace Us – most diet plans are really big on telling us what NOT to eat etc, but here’s the thing – most of us already know that! Most ‘struggling dieters’ with a bit of common sense already know what they should or shouldn’t be eating – so when they get told YET AGAIN by some lame ‘eat this, but don’t eat that’ diet – what they should not be eating, then it’s just like eating sand and we tend to ‘switch out’ subconsciously – because it’s just the same old thing in a different package. It fails to embrace our interest and keep our hope alive – so we are on a ‘fighting a losing battle’ right from the start! Sound familiar?
4. Most Slim Fast Low Carb Diets Fail To Address How We Actually ‘Think About Eating’ – lack of knowledge is just a recipe for failure – your mind must be prepared and must understand some critical facts about weight loss because without this we just tend to ‘do what we have always done’ and our body controls our mind, rather than our mind controlling our body. This is absolutely critical to permanent weight loss, yet like I said – most slim fast low carb diets or the like fail to address this key issue – ‘how we think about eating’.
Now please don’t get me wrong – there are many slim fast low carb diets that have had a lot of short term success for a lot of people – but for most ‘struggling dieters’ these diet plans simply do not work, because they fail to address these 4 key reasons.
Ok, enough already!
By now you may be thinking – is there any hope at all?
Is there any diet plan that addresses these four key issues, so that I can actually -
1. Set myself up for ‘victory’ – rather than failure, and keep my resolve!
2. Stop hurting my ‘psyche’ and start feeling like ‘I can really do this’!
3. Finally feel like ‘there is hope’ and get ‘interested’ in losing weight again!
4. Find out the critical facts on ‘how to think about eating’ and prepare my mind!
Yes - as a matter of fact there is!
YES - you can be victorious, YES - you can start feeling like you can really do this, YES - you can know hope and get really interested again – and YES – you can know the critical facts about eating.
It’s called the ‘Every Other Day Diet’ and it is your ‘YES’ answer to all the above!
