The weight loss diet that didn’t work

Instant weight loss part 2 and why the weight loss diet didn’t work.

So here we go and this could end up long so I will try to keep it as simple as possible.

Note. I am using the term weight loss diet  to mean any eating plan, weight loss plan or keep fit campaign.

Chances are you are here reading this as someone who has been on at least one weight loss diet in the past, you probably lost weight on the weight loss diet and have now regained at least  some of the weight you lost. How much you have gained since being on the weight loss diet is probably proportional to how long ago you came off the diet.

Therein lies the problem and the answer to the questions, why haven’t the weight loss diets I have been on worked? And why do I always put weight back on?

Going on a weight loss diet, implies that someday you will be coming off a diet, and when you come off a weight loss diet you go back to living how you lived before the diet, which we have already established doesn’t work because that was when you put on the weight in the first place and the second place!

Today we’ll concentrate on why the weight loss diet didn’t work and next time on what to do about it.

The weight loss diet you have been on will probably fall in to one of these categories:

• It lasted for a limited time period
• It required you to cut out certain foods or food groups
• You had to or were encouraged to consume branded foods
• You had to have meal replacements, drinks or bars
• You had to buy pills or supplements
• You had to eat mainly certain foods or food groups
• you had to change instantly from your normal life to the plan

The problem with all these is obvious, none of them are sustainable if you want to be healthy, or stay healthy.

So the fact that you regained weight after was not really your fault, it was inevitable.

I speak to people every week who have been on the same weight loss diet programme many times and would go on it again now or in the New Year if I couldn’t persuade them otherwise. Why if they already know it doesn’t work would they keep doing it? Probably because of aggressive advertising or they don’t know what else to do.

Please don’t fall in to that trap, as the truth is simple and quite liberating.
