Weight Loss Methods
Weight Loss Methods are a bit like daisies in spring. They're forever popping up and many of them are seasonal. The weight loss industry is worth more than a couple billion dollars a year.
And I'm not just talking about the crazy eating plans, pills, powders, potions and patches, I'm talking about TV programs like 'The Biggest Loser', well established weight loss methods like Weigh Less, Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig and so on.
From self-help, to group help, to online help, to pre-packaged food help, the weight loss methods tried by millions upon millions, often more than once continue to grow and expand in their numbers and creativity.
We're an ever trusting (actually to be truthful - I was just ever-gullible, but I prefer to think of myself as over-trusting), ever hopeful bunch. We cling to the belief that the next diet that pops up is going to be 'the one' that will forever end our body woes.
There's an almost exhaustible list: The Warrior Diet, The Sacred Heart Diet, 1 Day Diet, 2 Day Slim Down, 5 Day Miracle Diet, 7 Step Diet, American Longevity, Anorex (hey - at least it sounds honest), Apple Cider Vinegar Diet, Body for Life, Blood Type Diets, Cabbage Soup Diet, Brown Rice Diet, Cookie Diet, Ice-cream diet (yum! yum!).... blah, blah... you get the picture!
Well over time I'm going to be taking a more in depth look at some of these weight loss methods and sharing with you the psychological reasons behind why I don't think they work.
Let's define 'work' means
when it comes to
weight loss methods
But before I go further, let me give you my definition of 'work'. Firstly, weight loss only doesn't quality as 'works' for me. If it does for you - then I think you're aiming too low.* If you can't maintain the weight loss without following the regime forever, it hasn't worked.
* If it restricts, deprives or tells you what or when to eat - you aren't living naturally and it hasn't worked.
* If it hasn't freed you from a fear of regaining what you've lost - it hasn't worked.
* If it hasn't helped you work out the underlying issues for why you were eating - it hasn't worked.
* If it hasn't helped you to think of exercise as something to enjoy - it hasn't worked.
* If it hasn't helped you fall more in like with yourself even if you have lost weight - it hasn't worked.
* If it hasn't freed your from a dieting mentality - it hasn't worked.
*It it hasn't left you with making healthier nutritional and exercising choices because you 'want to' and not because you 'have to' - it hasn't worked.*If you still think of food and your body as enemies instead of friends - it hasn't worked.
*If you still fear the scale - it hasn't worked.

You may watch this TV program and be impressed with the weight loss some of the contestants seem to be losing, but I watch them with a kind of fascinated horror.
