This January, I ordered several different fitness magazines. Now that I have a new lifestyle, even my reading and TV time is spent differently. While hanging at Starbucks last weekend, I read this article. It’s s great read!
Diet Resolution That Don’t Bite
Original Source: Fitness Magazine, January 2015 Issue
Just in the past two weeks, I’ve talked to two different people on juice fasts and someone trying Atkins. I DO NOT BELIEVE IN THESE DIETS. I understand that they work. I understand that people lose weight following these plans, however, they aren’t real life. All three of the people I’ve talked to on these crazy diets have expressed anxiety about ‘transitioning’ back to real eating. How about just trying real eating to begin with?
I feel like a lot of people are stuck in the old way of dieting. Most people think if you’re not hungry, angry and giving up everything you love, you’ll never lose weight. WHAT?! I did it eating almost all of the foods I love and never had to worry about transitioning back to real food. I ate real food the whole time; I just made much much different choices.
So give it a read. There are a lot of ‘diet rules’ that have been around forever that are simply just not true anymore. Science has advanced. Fitness has advanced. Medicine has advanced. It’s time for diets to advance.
