Lets Talk Dieting And Mindset
For many, it is a matter of picking a date, such as January second to begin their diet, for others it is a life moment when they realise that they need to do something. Life moments such as divorce or relationship breakdown, receiving bad health news, or some other impacting moment can be the dieting trigger.
What are you going to use to choose your diet? There appears to be a glut of diets on the market with new diet programs as used by the Stars hitting the headlines every week.
Years ago, the Atkins diet was the leading diet fad, and since then diets such as the Lemon Detox diet have rolled out, not to mention the fad of only eating when standing up.
The issue with these is that while you may lose some weight fast, you inevitably cannot continue on many of these fad diets for lengthy periods of time. This generally means that when you come off the diet, unless you have made a change to your day to day life style, you gain some or all of the weight back.
The danger in this is in the development of gallstones. Those who lose weight through dieting then regain it on a continual cycle are at a larger risk of developing gallstones, over those who either diet and keep the weight off, or those who remain at a higher but steady weight.
To be successful with dieting, you do need to have a plan not just for when you are going to start a diet, but have the right mindset that you are also going to slowly change your life style so that it becomes a new and welcome life style for you.
Too many people jump into a diet and begin unrealistic exercise regimes that are unsustainable for the long term, meaning that most will soon lower their exercise levels or stop completely.
Instead, if you have not exercised for a while, begin slowly so that you can increase your exercise level as you begin to feel lighter and healthier, and try to make the exercise one that you come to enjoy and can do on a regular basis. If you are an office worker, taking a walk at lunch could be an excellent method of exercising for you, however this may be impacted due to inclement weather. In instances such as these, try to work out an alternative such as walking up and down the stairwells during bad weather periods.
This will ensure, that while you are dieting, you are also continuing on a life changing stage of continual and continuing exercise that will continue to aid your health and general well being.
