Diet Zombosis - One Dead Diet

Are you a victim of Diet Zombosis?  Do these symptoms sound familiar?

Your eyes take on a glossy look whenever you think of a cheeseburger.

It's been a month or more since you've had a dessert.

You find that you are turning on the television in the evening NOT to watch your favorite evening shows, rather to drool over those mouth-watering fast food commercials.

You frequently imagine that your mother-in-law is a tasty slice of coconut cream pie and the wart on her nose, a maraschino cherry.

If the above sounds familiar - we are 78% sure that you have Diet Zombosis.  Is there a cure?  Oh yes - but before we address the Diet Zombosis cure, we'd like to say that dieters often get in a rut while dieting.  Simply realizing this may work as a valuable tool while dieting because when Diet Zombosis threatens, if you recognize it - you can work to ensure that it doesn't consume your diet plan.  And now for our suggestions for the Diet Zombosis cure:

Shake up your diet plan!  Dieters who experience Diet Zombosis are generally locked in a weight loss plan that is experiencing a slow death.  If the slow pace continues, eventually the diet will surely die.

Don't bar traditionally considered no-no's from your diet plan. If you love fried okra, then do enjoy it BUT enjoy it with Diet Savvy. Example: Dieter Phil, aka Fried Okra Lover, orders the following for lunch:

• 1 small baked chicken breast
• 1 small wheat roll
• 1 serving of boiled yellow squash
• 1 serving of fried okra
• 1 unsweetened iced tea
• sugar-free gelatin for dessert

See how savvy Dieter Phi is?  By ordering smart choices he was able to slide in a serving of fried okra without blowing his weight loss plan.

Whenever you experience Diet Wanderlust, return to Land of the Living Diet - YOUR DIET.  Think about how your diet started - how excited you were to begin losing weight and about everything that you wanted to accomplish.

While you're on that trip to Diet Fantasy Land, stop and consider your diet plan.  Is it too strict?  Are you expecting too much?  Too much, too fast? Adjust and sail forward!

When it's time to head home to the hills and you find yourself relaxing in front of the telly, grab a fresh orange or even two.

Fresh fruit, hot air popcorn with no calorie butter spray, caramel popcorn cakes, a small plate of raw veggies with light dip or dressing - and perhaps a diet soda - all of these suggestions make good diet snack selections as long as you don't enjoy them all at once.  You won't feel deprived and you will feel very proud of yourself the next time you hop on the weight scales.
