Diets don't work..

Have you tried just about every diet you can think of and wonder why you struuggle with your weight. Well dieting ruins your metabloism and eventually can make you fat. It's your relationship with food that you need to take a peek at because years of dieting can cause you to have an unhealthy approach to eating. In my time as a Personal Trainer, I found that most women yo yo! They go on the diet for a bit, are really good then go off the diet and end up worse off then before. They exercise for a while then reach a goal and then stop and go back to where they were or even further. In this day and age with the media and all the stories about "skinny people" and people's weight, you need to be strong in your approach to your body image and just as importantly be strong in your approach to food. A simple step I learned from Dr Rick Kauseman author of the book "If Not Dieting Then What" is to say to yourself, "I can have it if I want it but do I feel like it"... only a start and seek professional assistance with your nutrition if you feel you need to find your natural eating patterns.
