The word ‘Diet’ makes me sick

February 17, 2022

 

Diets tend not to work in the long term (as you may have personally discovered) and in actual fact can be blamed for weight gain, low self-esteem, sadness and many more negatives.

How about the words, ‘Eating Plan for Life’…doesn’t that already sound better?

Ahh, an eating plan that is sustainable and manageable for the long term. Something that can be kept up forever.

Diets don’t really work & can be destructive, but if you get healthy overall (mind, body, spirit) then your weight balances naturally.

 

Jay Woodman

Well, that makes more sense to me…

…And perhaps something to aim towards, rather than a restrictive diet that feels unpleasant and causes misery.

An eating plan for life plus the foundational skills (that I teach on my online courses & in my books and posts) is the way to go…

I really do hate dieting.

Perhaps you also do?

I really dislike the word ‘diet’ and I try not to use it as much as possible.

Why?

Because ‘diets’ have caused millions of good people like yourselves a lot of heartache & misery!

You may be one of them? Are you? 

I tell people diets don’t work. And I don’t care what they say. I have tried them all.
