    Why Do Weight-Loss Diets Fail?


    The popularity of diet crazes over the last 30 years shows that many of us think we are
    overweight. It also suggest that we want to do something about it. Diet books with latest
    scientific advice become best sellers, and yet we continue to gain weight. Who’s responsible?
    It’s easy to blame scientific experts, but in my view, the problem is often with us, the dieters.
    We can’t lose weight because of the way we think about food.
    If we cannot follow a plan every day, no diet book can help. Many dieters change from
    one type of diet to another, so they never allow their bodies to get into a healthy rhythm.
    Others start out strongly on a program and lose a few pounds. Then, when their weight stays
    the same for a few weeks, they become discouraged and lose their self-control. If the weight
    doesn’t go away quickly, they give up.
    But the number on the scale is not our only challenge. Modern life is so fast and
    stressful that many diets are ruined by comfort eating”. When we feel down we want a slice of
    cheesecake or a chocolate brownie with ice cream to make us feel better. We use food as an
    escape. On the other hand, some of us use food as a reward. If we’ve done something well, we
    think we “deserve it”.
    We also need to pay attention to the food we eat. We should read food labels carefully
    and remember that we are often missed by them. Although a food package may say “lot fat”,
    manufacturers sometimes replace the fat with carbohydrates, sugar, and other fattening
    substances. In addition, they may not take out much of the fat. Low-fat ice cream can have 70%
    of the fat of regular ice cream, so a scoop and a half of low-fat ice cream is more fattening than
    one scoop of regular.
    These are just a few of reasons why our diets fail, but they all arise from our state of
    mind and our ability to pay attention. The next time you reach for the cookie jar, remember:
    control your mind and you can control your body! The most important factor in losing weight is
    our heads
