"No thanks, I'm on a diet" We often hear these words, but how often do we think of the gloomy faces and gestures that accompany them? We've come to expect that the dieter has set out on some unpleasant journey. The words are almost groaned and there are sighs which suggest the dieter is in mourning. That's all because of the perception we have about diets. They are unpleasant, nasty, painful things, aren't they? Yes, there's so much media hysteria about the latest variation on the (unhealthy?) dieting theme: zone diet, low-fat, lactose free, cholesterol lowering... All these and many more. Most people aren't naturally attracted to the latest dieting fads, but in despair they'll try anything. Especially when they promise to be good for us! But will they? Weight loss may soon be apparent and you'll feel greatly encouraged. But statistics show that most people give up sooner rather that later, and even go back to their old ways with a vengeance! No wonder! How long can your spirits if not your body survive on cabbage and melons? I Want It Now! So many things are 'instant' these days, aren't they? Instant coffee, instant downloads, fast foods... No wonder we apply the same thinking and expectations to our dieting. Has the flab become a complete turn-off? Is it causing certain health issues? So let's deal with it - not in six months, but NOW! In our heart of hearts we may have doubts about the latest dieting fads and gimmicks, but the copywriters know just how to reel us in. So we part with our hard-earned cash for an instant but unhealthy dieting method - even though we don't really trust it. Some folks even opt for stomach bypass surgery, that's how desperate they are for quick results. Even though this procedure was designed for extremely obese patients, they will ignore their doctor's advice and go for private treatment. Are There Alternatives to Unhealthy Dieting? Deep down every dieter knows what has to be done, but they are often reluctant to face the facts. So let's - gently! - spell them out. Two things are required to gain a healthy, well-shaped body. One is to eat an appropriate amount of foods from the various food groups in order to meet our body's needs... The other is to subject the body to a reasonable amount of physical exercise. At first this may sound grim, but it's not! Your favorite foods can still be on offer. You won't need to starve yourself. When you have a balanced plan and eat in moderation you can be secure in the knowledge that your weight and your health will improve. So toss those unhealthy dieting plans - and all the misery that goes with them - out the window. Look forward to an improved figure, an improved self-image, more balance in your emotional life. That dessert or cookie is no longer forbidden, provided you keep to your daily limits and are reasonably active. Who says dietng has to be unhealthy? It doesn't even have to be unpleasant?
