For anyone that has every tried to lose weight understands the importance of being able to resist the latest dieting fads. It seems that every few months we are bombarded by various television commercials and articles of some new diet fad which claims you can lose weight without having to do much on your end. Most people desperate to lose weight try these diet fads out only to find out that it is not safe or just end up gaining the weight back. If you want to resist dieting fads then you easily can if you follow some simple methods.
Stay focused:
If you are trying to lose weight and are already on specific diet then you should remain focused and stick with it. Do not change your diet plan regardless if you are not yet seeing the results that you want. Most diets take time and a lot of perseverance. No matter what you see or read about a new diet fad try to ignore it and stick with your original diet plan.
Talk to a doctor:
Ask your doctor about any new diet fad to get his or her opinion about it. In most cases you will find out by your doctor that these new diet fads are not safe and do not deliver on their countless promises of massive weight loss with little or no effort on your part. Remember your doctor is in a better position to help you when it comes to these diet fads which are constantly coming up.
Positive self image:
Try not to be so desperate when it comes to losing weight. Most of us want to lose a little weight to look good but taking on a diet fad is usually not a good idea. Just because it is on television does not make it a safe choice to follow. Maintain a healthy self image and accept the way you look to help stay away from dieting fads.
Common sense:
Try to use some common sense when it comes to dieting fads. You should ask yourself questions regarding any new dieting fad that comes out. Remember if something is too good to be true then it usually is. Don’t get fooled by late night marketing gimmicks on television of having some big name movie star tell you about some new diet fad as they are just getting paid for their services. Also, there is really no way of confirming the many testimonials of people discussing their before and after weight on these television commercials. Always try to use some common sense and you will easily be able to resist the latest diet fads.
Tips & Warnings:
– Don’t waste your time or money on dieting fads as most are just designed to make money from people desperate to lose weight.
Common sense is not that common, especially for desperate people. I personally have been lured to many fads, but the end result is always the same – disappointment.
Diet fads work because obesity leads to desperation and a distorted self image. The main thing is to be positive and avoid searching for shortcuts.
When anything is too good to be true, it is a lie. Just remember that.
