If you have been following this blog, you know that I am not a fan of diets. I think that diets create an unrealistic restrict and then binge attitude towards food. And studies are with me on this, indicating that after 5 years 95% of folks will have gained back all the weight they loss and more.Research demonstrates that a decrease in dieting decreases risks of obesity and eating disorders. Dieting increases our obsession with food and eating. This is the opposite of what the diet industry would tell you. (and by the way, there is a popular diet group that emphasizes that diets don't work, and that this particular type of diet is not a diet, but let's be honest here - it IS.) Of course the diet industry is biased considering all the $$ they make off all of us trying to figure out this food thing.
So what is there to do if you have a problem with eating or need to live healthier?
Stay tuned because we will be discussing all of this and more this week.
For now tell me: What do you think about diets?
Does it trigger something in you when you are told diets are not THE way to approach eating?

Diets are too good to be true. They're seductive and alluring. I always somehow believe I'm the exception to the rule, that somehow, things don't apply to me... when it's so totally false!!!
I like your blogging theme this week!
