Reasons To Stop Dieting Now

By Michelle Bennett


It is not necessary to do a crash diet if you want to loose weight because this sort of diet is nothing but a temporary fix. In fact, studies show that people who diet, tend to gain more than they loose after a while. This is the reason why you should stop dieting now and try to maintain a healthy lifestyle if you really want to loose some weight.

If a diet involves maximum amount of food restrictions then that sort of plan is regarded as unsuitable. This is because if you restrict yourself from consuming certain food items completely, the craving for them becomes more stronger making it difficult for you to follow the strict diet program. You will end up developing further problems related to your health and well being.

A strict diet doesn't lead to long lasting weight loss. It not only affects your physical health but your mental capability is affected to a certain extent. Your metabolic activity decreases and you tend to become a binge eater if you are deprived to have food for a long period of time. Although you may loose some of your body fat but the results are not long lasting at all.

It is important to assess whether a particular diet plan that you want to follow is suitable for you or not. Because, you might think it is suitable for you but the calorie content and other things could make it highly unsuitable for you. You need to consult a specialist before undergoing any strict plan because you don't want to end up damaging your health and well being.

Most of them don't have any regulated calorie count which means you would be consuming lesser amount of calories than your body requires. Consuming lesser amount of calories means your energy level deteriorates through time and you don't feel fresh and energized anymore. You remain in constant guilt if you consume something out of your diet plan and it can lead to devastating results in the end.

Dieting results in more cravings and overeating. When you forbid yourself from eating certain food items, the craving for them increases significantly. You feel deprived and a sense of feeling sorry for yourself develops within you. When your craving gets out of control you give up and consume the forbidden foods and then a sense of guilt approaches you making you feel more miserable.

Out of control cravings lead to binge eating which is not healthy for you at all. You would be constantly struggling within yourself and ultimately the diet fails completely because you are stuck in the whirlpool of satisfying your cravings and instead of dieting you end up overeating and putting back all the weight that you lost previously.

Diet isn't the only answer for weight loss as there are many other solutions provided you are willing to work on them. You need to make some important changes in your current lifestyle making it more healthier and energizing. At the same time, you should try to get rid of all bad eating habits because you should know what are the things that you were doing wrong.
