Deep down when we are really honest, we know that diets don’t work… we can feel it in our “gut”. We face the truth, stop dieting and restricting and we start to feel better. That good feeling lasts until we see the evening news headline or the next social media post claiming to have found the miracle formula to end obesity. Then, the next morning we are back at it… we fear! Diets Don’t Work Even if we already know that diets don’t work, we still wonder why when we see new diet and exercise regimens that claim to solve all our weight issues, we try them and indulge, hoping to get the result we’ve been waiting for. But let me just share the statistics with you. 43% of people use food to regulate their emotions. 91% of women are unhappy with their weight and resort to dieting. 95% of dieters will regain their weight within 1-5 years. Do you know that we spend $60B annually on weight loss? Yes, you heard it right! Moreover, 13% of the population were overweight in the 70’s and it grew to 35% in 2012, and it is still climbing. These facts may come shocking to you because we’ve been conditioned to believe that what’s being fed to us by social media and big companies are the ways to resolve our weight issues, and therefore will make us happy. We keep looking for the next best thing all the time! But what if we got it all wrong? What do we need to do? We need to look at our weight bubble and our relationship to food in a completely different manner. 21 Reasons Why Diets Don’t Work Here is a list of 21 reasons for you to think differently about diet and why we need to ditch the diet mindset NOW.
