If you’re tired of starting over, stop giving up. – Unknown
Below are things you may have experienced while on a ‘traditional’ diet:
- Weight is typically lost quickly in a set period of time
- Foods are categorized as “good” or “bad”
- Entire food groups are left out (i.e., dairy, carbs, etc.)
- Calorie consumption is greatly restricted
- Progress is dependent on a number on the scale
- “Calories in; Calories out”
- Once the diet ends, the weight comes back on…and then some
Here are some things you will experience with a lifestyle change:
- Eating healthy, nutritious and whole foods, knowing they will nourish and sustain you
- Slower, more permanent weight loss because it’s done at a healthy pace
- Second nature (actions of restriction vs. feelings of restriction)
- Less likely to experience extreme hunger, food deprivation, and mental stress
- Measuring your progress beyond what the scale says
- Something that you can stick with for the long haul
Remember…
This is not a short-term diet.
It’s a long-term lifestyle change.
