Don’t lose weight fast, get it right
Diets are a curious business for me, which has always fascinated me: this is why I post all the news I find in my blog and I do not miss any. I find them terribly interesting, I can’t help them. In reality, hardly useful, given that the winning formula for losing weight continues to be in my opinion a healthy but not orthorexic diet, in which you eat everything, you do not go hungry, you try to eat nutritiously and completely, yes exercise every day, sweat a little in the gym, try to be happy. Food is also pleasure, a sense of sharing, and diet after diet not only ruins our relationship with food, and in all likelihood manages to ruin it forever (once you start counting calories, it’s hard forget it, it’s like cycling but less fun), but it demeans us.
SLIMMING TO START LIVIN
Some time ago, nutritionist Chris Sandel and blogger Isabel Foxen Duke ( specializing in diet recovery : helping women to get out of the trap of diets and all that entails, for example, nervous hunger), sent me two similar newsletters. Of course I am subscribed to the newsletters of all those who deal with nutrition and have blogs. Some things are truly instructive, some are not, most are not. Starting from two different points of view, they targeted the fact that, when a person thinks of a healthy weight, he is often not talking only about a healthy weight, but associates with thinness many other things, which I could generalize to call “personal success”.
If I am thin my life will finally begin. I will go out more. I will be more positive. I will feel more fulfilled. I will finally be able to eat the things I like (here I have my doubts, especially if you come off restrictive diets). I will have the right friends. The love of my life, etc. Now, it may seem like an exaggeration, but I know from experience that it is not. I lost weight when I was too young, that is, my life had yet to start. Twelve years. Thirty extra pounds. Isabel Foxen Duke I mentioned before her had her first diet at age 3. Blessed parents. I was saying, I lost weight soon, but among my readers there are those who have problems losing weight. Several. They have something in common, actually two
– have really tried all possible diets.
– are waiting to finally lose weight to start living better. Gym? No, because I’m ashamed / I don’t have time. A walk? No, I’d rather wait to lose weight first. Yet there are a lot of overweight people who go to the gym, walk or do activities. But nothing to do. For many of my readers, real life will come later.
They prefer to diet first, then to act in some way. The problem is that they stop at the first step.
They try to lose weight at all costs but they can’t.
