Don't Deprive Yourself of Your Favorite
Foods
When Dieting
Successful weight loss requires patience
and perseverance, neither of which is possible if your diet excludes all
your favorite foods. That's why a weight-loss program that deprives you
of all your favorite foods will not succeed. For example, most weight
loss studies show that diet-compliance is sharply reduced when sugar is
eliminated from a diet. Best approach: make wise compromises; an effective
weight-loss plan is not all of one type of food and none of the other.
Try sharing that cheeseburger with someone, and exchange the chips for
a small salad or a scoop of cottage cheese and a pineapple slice. Enjoy
the half of the cheeseburger you are eating, rather than bemoan the half
you're not eating. You can enjoy all foods on your diet….just not
all at once!
Weight Loss Advice
Temporary changes to your diet and exercise
habits cause temporary weight loss which is typically regained after a
short period. To lose weight permanently, you need to make permanent changes
to your diet and fitness routines. This is why realistic weight loss goals
work best - because realistic weight loss targets are easier to achieve.
