Fourteen Reasons Why Dieting Is Bad For Your Health
By: Paul Wilson
1. The lower the calories eaten per day, the harder it is for you to get your daily requirements of proteins and vitamins. 2. Dieting makes your body believe it is starving so it starts to save fat, as this is its best way to store energy. 3. Losing weight means digesting your own body tissues instead of food and unfortunately, dieting does not tell your body what parts it needs to digest or which parts to save. 4. Severe dieting causes muscle loss and if you are unlucky the loss may be from your heart with severe consequences. 5. Dieting will make you difficult to live with and your family may want to kill you. 6. Dieting changes your body chemistry and one effect may be bad breath. 7. If you're a smoker you may smoke even more to dull the hunger pangs. 8. Binge eating, generally with very unsuitable foods often follows dieting. 9. Dieting makes you food obsessed. 10. Breaking a diet often results in guilt, poor self esteem and despair often followed by comfort eating. 11. Dieting emphasises food as a reward or compensation - so called 'comfort eating' where food is used to cheer us up or because it's raining we are somehow entitled to eat lots of sweets or cakes. 12. Dieting lowers the base metabolic rate which means you can live on less food, so when you return to your normal food intake which was already too high, you put on weight even faster than before and will probably end up heavier than before the diet. 13. Dieting does nothing to teach you to eat healthily. Healthy eating does not mean going hungry. 14. Dieting often causes constipation and this concentrates toxins and carcinogens within the bowels and they are present for a longer period. Fruit and vegetables have a positively beneficial effect on the smooth running of your digestive system. Attention!

Weight Loss Discipline (Excerpt)
Weight Loss and Discipline
Why is it so hard to lose weight and keep it off? We have
all heard that weight loss is just a matter of taking in
less calories than we expend. That certainly sounds very
logical, but is it really that simple?
For example, I had an intention of only eating fruits and
vegetables for a day or two, to counteract the recent
'junk'
food I had been enjoying. This was a solid plan that
practically guaranteed a decrease in caloric intake.
However, a solid plan doesn't always mean an easy
execution.
I figured I would be relatively safe making a trip to the
health food store. So my guard against high fat foods was
down. When I got to the store, my sensibilities were
assailed by a well meaning clerk hawking some freshly
made
corn beef and cabbage. I could hardly resist the
temptation. And that wasn't the end of it. Once my armour
was breached, the temptation of tasty, 'health oriented'
cookie samples fought for my attention.
