Diets Always Fail



The word "diet" tends to have a negative connotation in our society.
People go on a diet in order to lose weight, gain weight, "detox", etc.

It's something temporary, that comes to an end as soon as the initial goals are achieved.

We don't want to go on a diet. What we want to do is to make a lifestyle change. We want to change our dietary habits and replace them with healthier choices.

When you see your diet as your dietary habits or lifestyle, you are acknowledging that it's something for life and not something transitory.

When we are on a diet, that is restricted in certain standards, we are setting ourselves to failure. As soon as we eat THAT food that is prohibited in our diet, we lost the battle. And then it may happen (and I'm sure many of you can relate to this, lol!) that since we already failed, we can allow ourselves to eat whatever we want again, until "next Monday", when we will start the diet over again!

On the other hand, if we don't follow a "diet", there are no breakdowns or defeats. WE DECIDE OURSELVES what is the best for us to eat, health-wise, and if on occasion we opt to eat something that is not that healthy, it's nothing more than our free will. No regrets and no guilt.

In short, what we want to do is to CREATE HEALTHY DIETARY AND LIFESTYLE CHOICES that will, over time, become simply our habits and part of our daily routine.
