Why Diets Don't Work

Anyone who battles with periodic bingeing, emotional eating or overeating knows how difficult it is to lose weight and keep it off.

Diets often work well in the short-term, but the majority of people regain their lost weight within the next five years, and some end up weighing more than they did before they started. But why does this happen?

I think there are several reasons why people diets don’t work long-term including:

  • underlying thinking errors
  • unhelpful beliefs
  • feelings of deprivation and restriction
  • poor body esteem
  • expecting instant results
  • lack of motivation
  • not finding new coping mechanisms to deal with stressful situations
If you want to hear the full list of issues that could be sabotaging your goals and get tips on creating a healthy relationship with food you can call in to my free webinar to find out Why Diets Don’t Work.

I’ll also be discussing the different types of overeating and I’ll be taking questions at the end of the call.

There’s no charge for the tele-training seminar, except for your usual long distance calling charges. If you log in to the simultaneous webcast it's completely free. Just sign in and listen.

Updated:
I'm running another seminar in July, so if you missed out on the last one you can sign up now to receive all the details.

What a great topic for a seminar!

I think it's really true that you have to focus on long term sustainable lifestyle changes, not a temporary diet. Though I guess for some people, a short term "diet" can work as a transition and a jump-start to healthier habits. But a restrictive diet just isn't sustainable for a lifetime.

This is my first time on this blog and I really like the content ; ) Have you guys checked out thedailyskinny.com yet? It's mainly for healthy weight loss, but they also get into some great nutrition and exercise advice.
