Atkins, South Beach, The Zone, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem,...All these names,all these diets and all that Bullshit.EXCUSE my language!!The reason why women and men are so confused about diet and nutrition is because at least once or twice a year there is another crazy,new diet on the market.You will get skinny overnight forever for the rest of your life-until you gain all the weight back and you feel even worse then before.
The Atkins diet for example is one of the worst eating plans out there.It is a low carb,high protein diet on which you are supposed to eat tons of animal protein like bacon,butter,eggs and Dr.Atkin's wants you to cut out any kind of fruit and whole grains.Huuh?Since when does an apple make you fat!?
Dr. Atkins' book actually recommends such foods as fried pork rinds and bacon cheeseburgers. It states on the first page: "Imagine losing weight with a diet that lets you have bacon and eggs for breakfast, heavy cream in your coffee, plenty of meat and even salad with dressing for lunch and dinner!"
Wow what a diet revolution!!!
It is proven that a high animal protein diet can cause cancer and many other diet related diseases.I just don't understand how people can believe that this kind of diet is a healthy lifestyle.
Do you lose weight?Yes you do!Why?
Because when the body can't find enough carbohydrates to function properly, it produces ketones, an emergency fuel that can be utilized in times of crisis or fasting. Built into our genetic code is the ability to survive periods of time without food, such as periods of food scarcity, or natural disasters. We are designed by nature to survive on a plant-based diet, rich in carbohydrates- when our cells realize they are not receiving enough fuel from carbohydrates, the body receives messages to dip into its fat reserves to produce ketones as an emergency fuel. Ketones rise in our bloodstream and the body begins to lose fat in spite of a large consumption of high fat animal foods.The price for eating a high protein diet is chronic ketones.Besides cancer risk,the kidneys are put under extrem stress and age rapidly.
You might lose some weight but you will lose your health too!!!
Dieting will turn you into a crazy Biatch..some diet plans are way to strict and cut out way to many things that are actually good and necessary for our body and our health.Some diet plans are full off processed packaged garbage food (Hello, Jenny Craig and Nutrisystem) and some diets allow you to eat whatever you want, but make sure you count your points!!
You can use all your points on complete junk food.Doesn't really make sense to me.
You will feel deprived every time you go on a diet-who wouldn't if you are not allowed to eat juicy sweet fruit or a bowl of oatmeal.We all have to built a relationship with everything in life-even with food.If you look at the apple pie and think ''I can't have you!You will make my butt big and my thighs even more.You are bad bad bad!Trust me sooner or later you will lose your willpower.Do I wish we would live in a world without processed crap sometimes?Yes absolutely, but we all have to learn not to look at things in a bad way.If you don't allow yourself a cookie every once in a while you will go crazy and I mean,give me the whole box,oh I hate myself,now my stomach hurts crazy!!!Build a good loving relationship with everything in your life especially with food,your elliptical,your loved ones and yourself.
People have to understand that there is no secret diet plan,there is no magic pill or exercise machine that will get you into shape without any effort.We all have to start thinking about what we put into our bodies.We have to stop counting calories and instead thinking about where the food comes from,if it will provide us with nutrients and energy.We have to start exercising regularly,even if we just dance in front of the TV or take a walk.The mind and body is connected,so we have to learn how to deal with our issues in life without stuffing our faces with another burger and fries, thinking that it will make our problems disappear.
We all have our enemies in life and for a lot of us,it is food.We eat, because we are sad,we eat when we are happy,we eat in front of the TV or when we feel lonely.A lot of people use food because they are bored or depressed.
Food is supposed to be fun and beautiful, not be looked at as a constant struggle in life.Food is not the problem it is the way we pursue it!
The next time you want to go on a crazy diet, think about what you could do to really make your body and mind sweet and healthy!!!
Love and cookies
Jennifer
