We want you to know that, when you are having a difficult time meeting your goals, we can help. Please keep reading to learn more, and then give us a call to set up your free consultation with us.
Why Dieting Doesn’t Work for You
According to a survey done by International Food Information Council, 39% of Americans were on some sort of diet during 2021. People primarily diet so that they can lose weight. You may have been on diets before. Most people have. Perhaps you have found that they do not work for you. Maybe they only work for you short term. There could be a few reasons why.
The number one reason why diets can fail for someone struggling to lose weight is that they are too drastic of a lifestyle change and cannot be sustained. When people hop on fad diets like the Keto diet, it is often going to make your grocery lists much different. When you change your diet substantially, it can be unsustainable for a few reasons. When you deny what your body needs, simply because it is within the rules of this new diet you are trying out, you’re setting yourself up for failure.
Some diets have you cutting out fats or carbs entirely. When you make major cuts to necessary food groups like that without any knowledge of how to meet nutrition goals, it can likely not be sustained. After long enough, you will be needed those fats or carbs and likely end up going back to what is comfortable which can cause you to gain back the weight you lost from cutting them out. This is called yoyo dieting.
