Fad Dieting Is Problematic Due to Voodoo Food Restrictions

Unlike fad diets that focus on excluding food groups, a personalized menu plan allows you to consume healing foods while shifting your focus towards restoring your health and wellness. You will be able to consume large amounts of whole foods for better satiety. Having to live every day knowing you are on a diet is part of the problem. Unfortunately, depriving yourself of the foods you love is not a sustainable weight-loss solution and can result in feelings of depression and anxiety. Hormone tests and a genetic panel can usually provide insight into the way your body burns and stores fat.

For the most part, you either realize your goals or rationalize them away when achieving them gets too tough due to issues, such as:

• DIET BACKFIRING - The concept of dieting (food restrictions) is problematic because there is emphasis placed on calorie reduction. This immediately increases the chance of diet backfiring due to the body's need to conserve energy and calories are burned at a slower rate.
• EMOTIONAL EATING - Diets take time, effort and often fail to provide enough fuel for you sustain proper energy levels. In other words, diets are exhausting so don't worry if your current diet is leaving you feeling exhausted by mid-afternoon.
• NOT ENOUGH WATER - Your body is composed of more than 50% water, making it a necessary nutrient that also helps to fill you up. Drinking more water can reduce your daily intake of calories and satisfying your thirst can help to manage your hunger.
• SLEEP DEPRIVATION - Stress, anxiety and sleep play a major role in managing your body weight. Leptin hormone boosts metabolism to control energy expenditure over time. When your body's fat stores are reduced, leptin levels fall and appetite is stimulated.
• NOT SEEING NEED FOR CHANGE - Since many weight loss programs add exercise or weight training to the plan, you may not see a change in your actual weight. If you lose a pound of fat and gain a pound of muscle, you weight stays the same even though you are losing inches.
• NOT ADJUSTING IN REAL TIME - So, you did not stick with your diet plan this morning and figure it won't hurt to take the rest of the day off. After all, you can start fresh tomorrow... not! Every time you eat, is a critical opportunity to get back on track.
