Anyone who has ever tried dieting has had failed at it at least once, if not every time. Why is this? Dieting does not work because you can’t eat what you want, so you give in to your cravings and cheat, making you feel guilty and soon give up completely. Or if you are one of the lucky ones who do succeed, it does not last, you can’t keep the weight off unless you stick to this diet for the rest of your life, and who wants to do that. The big question is how to break this diet cycle. And the answer everyone’s looking for is a weight loss plan that works while still allowing you to eat the foods you love, so that you feel satisfies and won’t lose motivation.

No matter the diet you are trying out, whether its food combining, high protein, no sugar, fat gram counting or no dairy(we could go on and on), your body is not used to eating this way and your eventually going to fall off the wagon. You can include all types of foods into your diet as long as you recognize how to eat appropriate portions. Yes you can even eat your favorite cookies or chips or even chocolate if you would like, just do so in moderation. The key is to control the number of calories you consume each day. If you can satisfy your taste buds while dieting, you will be a successful dieter. Controlling how many calories you take in will help you to do so. Yes you can continue to eat the same foods that you enjoy and eat every day, just smaller portions, limiting your caloric intake. After all if we are eating more calories than our body can burn then we are going to gain weight.

All in all, dieting does not work because its not done right and when you know you are on a diet and you are not allowed to eat certain foods, it will make you want them even more and make you fall off the bandwagon. Control your portions and the amount of calories you take in and you will be more successful, you will lose weight as well as develop healthier eating habits for the rest of your life. Our body does not need all the food that we consume each day in order to survive, we have just gotten ourselves used to eating so much. In fact, our bodies can only take so much. If we continue to eat the way that we are eating, we will continue to gain weight as well as have our health decline. By cutting down on our portions and controlling the calories we take in, while still eating the foods that we love, we will teach ourselves how to eat healthy and soon you won’t care anything about all that junk food you were eating before, and we will be able to lose weight and keep it off.
