Do you realize that in order to keep weight off permanently you have to follow your diet forever? This is a big key that many people forget about. They think that if they just follow their new diet for a few weeks the weight will stay off. This is the point where you have to evaluate your diet and ask yourself, “Can I follow this diet forever?”. If the answer is no, guess what, that weight you just lost is going to come right back!

This is why it is so crucial that you find a diet you can actually stick to in the long term. You need to find a diet that doesn’t make you feel like a prisoner. Everyone goes to eat out once in a while and there is nothing wrong with that. You get to spend time with family or friends and enjoy a delicious meal, it’s part of life. Do you really want to throw all of that way because your diet is so strict? When you start to go to extremes with your diet you create a negative relationship with food. You get to a point where you restrict yourself so much your stomach is grumbling on a daily basis. Even though your diet guide tells you to eat cabbage soup for lunch, what you are really craving is some fettuccine Alfredo with chicken! Your mind is telling you “don’t touch the pasta!” while your body is saying “chow down on the pasta who cares!”. Eventually you will lose control and start binge eating everything. The cycle continues over and over.

Here are some things to look for in a diet:

-Doesn’t require counting calories

-Doesn’t restrict carbohydrates (contrary to popular belief carbs actually give you energy!)

-Allows you to eat out

-Doesn’t restrict entire food groups

If you don’t have the time to do the research on a good long term diet, let me recommend the “Every Other Day Diet”, just like the name implies, it make you eat healthy foods 50% of the time while the other 50% is spent eating anything you want, that includes the Alfredo!
