No, Weight Loss Programs in the title is not a typo. It
really is plural and was done intentionally. I did it for
a reason. Well, 3 reasons really and I want to share them
with you today.
The first reason being that you want to break the mindset
that there is one and only one right way for you to eat.
Don't think of yourself in terms of "Oh, I'm a Lo-Carber"
or "Oh, I can't eat anything that has a J or T in the
name." Over time you will find a program that works for
you on a regular basis but there will be times when your
goals change. There will be times where you want quick
weight loss and one of the many weight loss programs will
work better for those times.
A low carb diet can be great for dropping a few pounds and
getting back into that little black dress for the big
party. That same program may not suit you for maintaining
your weight. Remember, you can't lose weight forever and
if you are always eating like you are trying for weight
loss you are not developing the right mindset for getting
to your goal weight and maintaining it.
Once you find a few different programs that work for you,
change them up as you want. Some weight loss programs are
better than others depending on the situation. Go low carb
for a month or two. Switch to a higher carb routine for
the holidays or a vacation. There are no restrictions on
what you can do with this and it can make life easier
knowing that.
The second reason is that you will end up cutting out of
your diet a whole bunch of healthy foods... forever. Many
of those restricted foods have great health benefits when
eaten as part of an overall sensible eating plan. Even
donuts in moderation are good for the soul. I said in
moderation, stop trying to rationalize that 1/2 dozen
chocolate glazed donuts. There are not enough
anti-oxidants in chocolate to justify it.
The third reason is that you will unnecessarily complicate
your life with restrictions and variety is the spice of
life. When going out to eat or to a party you can't always
control what is available. And once you start on the path
of diet envy from watching other people enjoying themselves
and you can't have one little taste it is hard to stay on
track. Unless you have a medical or religious reason don't
deprive yourself.
In addition to keeping things interesting you avoid some
diet pitfalls. Keep in mind that your thoughts follow your
actions. If you think one way and then do another you
create emotional conflict. For example if you think of
yourself as an "Anti-J/T Food" dieter and then have a Tuna
steak for dinner followed up with some soothing Tea you may
start mentally whipping yourself and that can derail your
future efforts. You get enough grief from your parents
don't start creating more problems for yourself.
Find a few different weight loss programs that work for you
and use them when you like. Some are more adaptable to a
maintenance diet than others and some can help you shed fat
like magic. Ultimately, don't complicate your life through
unnecessary restriction. Life is too short and you need the
little pleasures along the way.
