Weight Loss Tip Number One: Don't Go On Diets

If you want to lose weight, the last thing you should do is go on a diet. What does someone mean when they say they're going on a diet. They mean they are going to restrict what they eat until they reach their target weight. After that, the diet is over, and previous eating habits return. Whether a diet is a success or failure, it is only temporary. This is the main way we think of and speak of how to lose weight: by temporarily restricting your diet. This way of thinking sets one up for failure from the beginning both psychologically and physically. It is no wonder that so many people have trouble keeping off weight they have lost. Their attempt to become healthier can often leave them even unhealthier in the long run. For success with weight loss you must think in terms of permanent lifestyle changes instead of temporary band-aid solutions. Never tell yourself something like, "No more chocolate for a month" when a resolution to go for a short walk every day would be infinitely better for you.
