DIET When ‘health’ becomes dieting in disguise


Because dieting has such negative physical, emotional and mental consequences, all health-conscious people need to be wary of the ‘I’m not dieting... but I am’ trap.


Here are 11 ways we trick ourselves into thinking we're not dieting, when really, we are. by Casey Conroy


I'M NOT DIETING – I'M DOING THIS FOR MY HEALTH Any time you're manipulating food for the purpose of weight control - you are dieting. You may be able to hide this fact behind the guise of health, but if there's any element of wanting to control your body's shape or size through food, make no mistake - it's a diet.


Everyone knows that diets fail about 95% of the time. If you don't know it statistically, you've probably experienced it personally – that crushing weight rebound after the initial euphoria of weight loss. The fact that dieting sets people up


to fail is spreading, and old school diet programs such as Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig are becoming less popular.


FIST PUMPS! The old school dieting industry is on the decline! This is indeed cause for celebration. While I hear plenty of people


declaring, ‘I've given up dieting’, a closer look at their eating habits and food beliefs says otherwise. They may no longer be doing weekly-weigh-ins or counting calories, but the dieting thoughts remain.
