As consumers, we can become addicted to the fresh start of a diet and the gratification we feel when we see our bodies change.

Diets put people in the wrong mental state and place value on the wrong things.

Severe dieting can result in muscle loss and kidney failure.

Dieting can trigger binge eating.Dieting can make you food obsessed.

Here is How to Succeed at Weight Loss

  • Eat enough to satisfy your appetite.
  • Eat protein for breakfast, and avoid eating 3 hours before bed.
  • Combine protein, fat and low-glycemic, non-starchy carbs (vegetables, fruit, small amounts (less than half a cup of grains and beans) at each meal. Fat and protein and fiber slow insulin spikes.
  • Focus on very low-glycemic foods as the staples of your diet. Nuts, seeds, chicken, fish, meats VERY sparingly, low-glycemic veggies (greens, salad fixings, etc.)
  • Use grains and beans sparingly (not more than a half cup once a day each).
  • Don’t use artificial sweeteners – they trigger sweet receptors, hunger and slow metabolism leading to obesity and type 2 diabetes.
  • Use sugar as a drug – in very small doses. And all sugar is the same. If you have to ask “is ______ OK?” It isn’t.
