Diets Make Me Watch Everything That I Eat

One thing that really bothers many dieters is the fact that when they diet, they must suddenly watch everything they eat.  

All their Food Freedom is simply washed down the Diet Drain.  And that ain't fun - no fun at all!

Oddly enough, weight is based on a level of consistency - whether we are thin or overweight.  

Rather than think, "If I am on a diet, then I have to stick with the plan to lose weight," THINK THIS, "Even when I am not on a diet, then I have to stick with my current eating pattern to stay overweight."

How the Food Cycle Works

During Diet Phase:

We become aware that we must reduce calories and fat in order to drop pounds.  Rather than searching for something to eat as we normally would throughout the day, we suddenly try to think about NOT eating throughout the day.  

When we do search for foods, we look for those that are very healthy, very low in fat and very low in calories - with 'good taste' a bonus when it happens.  We must be VERY PICKY during Diet Phase to ensure that we are getting the foods that will assist us in dropping those extra pounds.

During Non-Diet Phase:

We may have just finished lunch, then shortly thereafter we get the munchies and began searching for something tasty to eat.  Click here to find out how you can know when you are really hungry.

When we search for foods, we look for those that are very tasty, very comforting, very cozy and very delicious.  If it doesn't taste good, then we'll move on to find something that does.  We are VERY PICKY during Non-Diet Phase to ensure that we are getting the foods that we enjoy.

Recognizing the Diet Difference - Hunters vs Gatherers

During Diet Phase, we are the hunters - continually watchful for foods that we can harvest into our diet plans that are healthier because they are lower in fat and calories.

During the Non-Diet Phase, we are the gatherers - continually gathering foods that we enjoy munching on because they simply taste divine.

Both Hunters and Gatherers can reap healthy benefits by searching for foods that are closest to their natural states.  Fresh veggies, fruits - and meats that are prepared without added oil, flour, cornmeal and eggs make a good find for all.
