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.

Lack of sustained benefits may cause you to add more than you initially lost. It is worse after the program fails and the body is on rebound. Because of deprivation, you end up adding more weight than you lost. Such frustrations eat into your self esteem. A third or more people end up weighing more than they did initially.

There is the feeling of extreme hunger yet body metabolism has decreased. The body naturally initiates an adaptive thermo-genesis mechanism. The idea is to maintain a particular level of body fat. The nervous system is involved in an effort to maintain a certain level of body fat. Though you experience hunger while under the program, you do not lose any fat. The mechanism works against your wishes and desires.

It requires a lot of time and energy to go through diet programs. You have to be alert and conscious at all times, cautious of the foods you eat, the amount of calories contained, what time you eat, etc. This denies you the freedom to live a natural nutritional life. It takes a great deal of will power, energy and time to complete such programs. Because such programs are restrictive, you will always be at conflict with natural cycle and instincts. You end up feeling very guilty of your actions.

Dieting is an outside approach. It feels as though your body is receiving authority from outside on what should be consumed, when and how. It means that you will be required to ignore hunger or craving in order to meet the demands of your program. This authority is disconnected from personal preferences. This is disorienting to the body and might result in resistance. The signal sent to your body is that you do not respect its desires.

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.
