2 : the diet trap

It’s hard to resist the allure of diets. our culture is mesmerized by thinness. from an early, we see slender image splashed across billboards and gracing TV shows, advertisements, movies, and magazines. Ironically, even those waiflike  models need an airbrushing before they’re deemed pageworthy. how is the average person supposed to attain that? No wonder we’re a diet-mad society, so willing to pin our hopes on every latest fad diet that come along. Diets set unrealistic expectations that are as elusive as the proverbial carrot on a stick.

3: The allure of being thin

Consider what you think losing weight will do for you. Sure, you expect to get  thinner, but how do you imagine your life to be then ? will you find your dream love match ? get a promotion ? be more populare ? Enjoy great wealth? if you think you’ll finally have the perfect life and fell terrific about yourself, you have lots of company. “our society is obsessed with thinness and promotes weight loss as the key to happiness and the answer to many of life’s problems,” says registered dietitian dayle hayes, advocate of the nondiet approach, author, and nutrition therapist in billings, Montana. these promises are seductive, but seldom, if ever, come true. you can probably lose weight on any diet, but you’ll still be the same person. “once the initial thrill of buying new clothes in smaller size wears off, you lost weight,” says hayes. weight loss never changes who you really are, nor will it make you happy. happiness is internal.

4: Why diets fail

Many discouraging statistics report that people who lose weight on a diet will gain it back within a few years. one reason for this dismal success rate is that people often view diets as a temporary situation to endure until they lose weight. then they go off the diet and back to the same eating patterns that caused them to gain weight.

Another reason diets are unsuccessful is that they override inborn hunger and fullness signals, placing external controls on eating. ” Chronic dieters are used to eating when, what , and how much their current diet dictates, not because they”re hungry or full,” says registered dietitian evelyn tribole, a southern california-based weight management and eating disorders specialist.
