1. The lower the calories eaten per day, the harder it is
for you to get your daily requirements of proteins and
vitamins.

2. Dieting makes your body believe it is starving so it
starts to save fat, as this is its best way to store energy.

3. Losing weight means digesting your own body tissues
instead of food and unfortunately, dieting does not tell
your body what parts it needs to digest or which parts to
save.

4. Severe dieting causes muscle loss and if you are unlucky
the loss may be from your heart with severe consequences.

5. Dieting will make you difficult to live with and your
family may want to kill you.

6. Dieting changes your body chemistry and one effect may be
bad breath.

7. If you're a smoker you may smoke even more to dull the
hunger pangs.

8. Binge eating, generally with very unsuitable foods often
follows dieting.

9. Dieting makes you food obsessed.

10. Breaking a diet often results in guilt, poor self esteem
and despair often followed by comfort eating.

11. Dieting emphasises food as a reward or compensation - so
called 'comfort eating' where food is used to cheer us up or
because it's raining we are somehow entitled to eat lots of
sweets or cakes.

12. Dieting lowers the base metabolic rate which means you
can live on less food, so when you return to your normal
food intake which was already too high, you put on weight
even faster than before and will probably end up heavier
than before the diet.

13. Dieting does nothing to teach you to eat healthily.
Healthy eating does not mean going hungry.

14. Dieting often causes constipation and this concentrates
toxins and carcinogens within the bowels and they are
present for a longer period. Fruit and vegetables have a
positively beneficial effect on the smooth running of your
digestive system.

A Quick Note From The Publisher... If you like the article above, you may be interested in the following article which is also related to Healthy Diets... New Weight Loss Plan -- Resistance Training My last article, Make Diets Work , concluded that dieting the old way (eating fewer calories) doesn't work. Diet shock, slower metabolism, and eventually, weight regain are inevitable consequences of dieting to lose weight. The only two options are to stop dieting and exercise only or continue dieting as usual with additional steps to prevent diet shock from initiating the weight regain reactions. This article is on exercising to lose weight. How Exercise Can Help You Lose Weight There are two ways in which exercise can lead to weight loss. The first way is simple thermodynamics and the second way is metabolic. 1. Thermodynamics and Weight Loss Weight loss will occur when the amount of energy you consume (calories) is less than the amount of energy you use or "burn." You can achieve this state, referred to as a negative energy balance and represents a true energy deficit, by eating fewer calories, exercising more, or both. Let's look at a simple example and use exercise as the sole means of creating a negative energy balance, which will lead to weight loss. Before Exercising... Energy in (calories consumed)=3000 Energy out (calories used or burned)=2700 Total energy= +300 calories extra that you will store as fat After starting an Exercise Program... Energy in=3000 Energy out=3100 Total energy= -100, utilize stored energy to make up the 100 calorie deficit On a daily basis, by exercising, you'll create an energy deficit of 100 calories that your body will fix by using stored energy. This results in weight loss. No fancy diets, no added cost, no diet shock and weight regain, just weight loss by moving your body in some consistent manner, called exercise. Historically, this option makes the most sense, too. Your extra weight is extra energy...
