The only thing growing faster than the $65 billion diet industry is the American waistline. If your Resolution for the New Year is to GO on a Diet, the only place I guarantee you will go….is up in weight.
It’s a Fact - Diets will only make you fatter.
When it comes to the latest in Diet fads, we are quite gullible and easily tempted by a Diet’s empty promised. Reason being….the diet industry KNOWS we are in search of the “quick fix” and will only play with our emotions - our desperation for the quickest way to relieve looking and feeling fat.
Diets are nothing more than Temporary Solutions with many lingering, negative side effects.
Here are the Top 10 Reasons Why you should NOT “go” on a Diet
1. Diets do NOT work. Diets have a 99% Failure Rate. Have you noticed a pattern yet? Lose weight….quickly regain it? Over time,studies show if you diet you are more likely to be overweight than people who eat normally and make small gradual changes to their lifestyle. No, the Law of Averages does not apply to this faulty
system.
2. Dieting can be Dangerous. Any time you severely restrict the amount or types of foods you eat you put your health and life at risk. Dieting has been related to injuries and sudden deaths from electrolyte imbalance, malnutrition, and heart arrhythmia’s. Weight cycling, or yo-yo-ing weight, is associated with higher death rates
- especially if some type of pills are being used. At no point should you ever place weight loss above your health.
3. Dieting Destroys your Metabolism. Diets will cause your weight to quickly cycle up and down. Sure, you may lose weight quickly because you are simply not eating enough. In the initial stages,the first seven to nine pounds lost are water, presenting a real danger of dehydration and mineral deficiencies. Even more
terrifying ins the break down of lean muscle due to inefficient nutrients and calories. If you are losing more than 3-4 pounds a week, you can be sure this is what is happening - very little fat is lost this state.
Now, any muscle loss will cause your metabolism slow to a crawl.The cumulative effect takes place for you cannot survive very long on very low calories (1200 or less) and you will eventually eat more - on top of a slower metabolism. All those excess calories will be stored as fat - causing rapid weight gain.
4. Dieting is Exhausting. Diets are just reduced calorie Fads disguised by a clever gimmick. “Lose weight while you sleep” “Eat all you want and still lose weight”Not eating enough or cutting out certain food groups means your body may not be getting the energy it needs, or may lack certain nutrients. You will feel exhausted, light headed and experience some not-so-fun mood swings.
5. Dieting is Disruptive. Dieting negatively affects your normal eating patterns. Diets can lead to binge eating, overeating and chaotic eating. When you diet, it is common to override your internal signals telling you to eat. You end up trying to use willpower or resist hunger signals and may even go as far as taking appetite suppressants. This results in being unable to know when you really are hungry or wore….when you’re full.
6. Dieting can lead to eating disorders. Experts state that the high rates of eating disorders in the U.S. are due in part to people dieting, losing weight, rebounding, and becoming chronic dieters.
7. Dieting Causes Food Obsessions. If you spend a large amount of time and energy depriving yourself of food or certain types of food - you will spend more time thinking about food and become obsessed attempts to control your weight by what you choose to eat or not eat. How long do you want to live like this?
8. Dieting Diminishes Women. There is way too much attention focused on our appearance and an arbitrary number on the scale. In the midst of this focus - we end up avoiding what really matters to us - our dreams and ambitions. Even worse, it erodes our confidence and self-respect.
9. Dieting Intensifies Negativity. If you diet, you are more judgmental and critical of yourself and others. Once again, wasted time and energy.
10. Diets Put Your Life on Hold. Does this sound familiar….”I’ll be happy when I weigh ______” Guess what, the issues in your life are not related to your weight. Take responsibility and take back control of your life. Decide to be happy now and do what it takes to live a lifestyle that reflects your priorities.
So this New Year resolve to NOT go on a Diet - Set Yourself Free from this miserable, guaranteed to fail weight loss cycle. Do NOT let the diet industry make money by taking advantage of you. It is time to stand up for yourself and take control.

为什么节食是浪费时间？
比那650亿美元的节食业增长速度更快的，只有美国人的腰围了。如果你看纽约只是为了节食，那我保证你能得到的……只是增重。
这是事实——节食只会让你更胖。
当说到最近的节食热，我们都很好骗，很容易就节食的“空头支票”给诱惑了。理由是……节食业知道我们在寻找“快速瘦身”的方法，而且我们只是在和自己的情绪玩耍罢了——我们已经对减轻视觉和感觉上肥胖的最快方法绝望了。
节食其实就是暂时的解决方法，伴随着很多长期的副作用
这里有为什么你不该节食的10大理由
1、节食不起作用。节食的失败率是99%。你有没有发现一个模式？减肥……马上又恢复体重？长期的研究现实如果你节食，你比那些正常饮食或者是只小小改变一下生活方式的人更容易超重。不，平均律可不适用于这种错误的方法。
2、节食会很危险。当你严格控制你摄入的食物量和食物种类的时候，你在把你的健康和生命推向危险的边缘。节食可能因电解液不平衡、营养不良和心律不齐导致受伤和猝死。体重循环或者体重过轻都可能导致高死亡率——特别是如果使用一些相同种类的药物。你无论如何都不该把减肥放在比健康更重要的地位。
3、节食破坏你的新陈代谢。节食会使你的体重迅速的周期性上升下降。当然，如果你只是吃得不够，那你体重很快就会下降。在原始期，首先减掉的7-9磅的都是水，带来脱水和矿物质不足的危险。更可怕的是，营养和热量的不足还会导致肌肉瓦解。如果你在一周内减掉超过3-4磅，那肯定会发生的是——你只在这个阶段减掉很少量的脂肪。
目前，任何肌肉的减少都会减缓新陈代谢的速度。因为你不能长时间依靠低能量（1200或以下）存活，就会产生累积的影响，最后你就会吃得更多——新陈代谢速度变得越来越慢。这些多余的热量就会囤积成脂肪——导致迅速增肥。
4、节食让人精疲力尽。节食只是降低了明显的花招掩饰下的卡路里热。“睡时减肥”“想吃什么就吃什么，你还是可以减肥”吃不足量或者不吃某一类食物意味着你的身体不能获得所需的能量，或者可能会缺少某些营养。你会感觉筋疲力尽，头轻，还会反复经历低落的情绪。
5、节食有分裂性。节食消极地影响你的正常饮食模式。节食可能导致暴食、食用过量和无序食用。当你节食的时候，你会不顾你的内信号叫你吃什么。结果你会试着用意志力或者抵制饥饿，甚至可能会抑制胃口。这会导致你无法知道你什么时候真的饿了，或者吃饱了。
6、节食会导致饮食混乱。专家表示美国的高饮食混乱率部分是因为人们节食、减肥、回弹，然后变为慢性节食者。
7、节食导致食物迷恋。如果你花了很多时间和精力在不给自己吃东西或者某些品种的食物——你会花更多的时间来想食物然后迷恋那些控制体重的尝试，即你选择吃或不吃。你想这样活多久？
8、节食侵蚀女性。我们把太多注意力放在我们的外表和很大程度的攀比上。在这种专注中——你最后会逃避真正影响我们的东西——我们的梦想和抱负。更糟糕的是，这腐蚀了我们的自信和自尊。
9、节食加强消极性。如果你节食，你对自己和他人都更加带有审判性和批判性。又一次是浪费时间和精力。
10、节食让你的生活受人控制。这听起来熟悉吗……“当我称体重的时候我很快乐”想想生活中和你体重无关的事。为你的生活负责，控制你自己的生活。选择现在快乐起来，选择能够反映出你优先考虑的事物的生活方式。
这期纽约决定不再让你节食——从这痛苦的、保证会失败的减肥循环里释放自己。不要让节食业在你身上赚钱。是时候为你自己站起来，做自己的主人了。
