THEN FOLLOW THE DESTRUCTIVE PATH OF A QUICKIE FAD DIET:

You start a quick weight-loss plan, a cleanse challenge or some other form of a very restrictive eating program.

You start to ignore hunger cues. You drink water, eat a pickle or find other ways to "fill up" without adding calories.

You feel stressed about your weight and you start feeling frustrated and hopeless. You begin thinking about food more often: "When do I get to eat again? What CAN I eat? What CAN'T I eat?”

You produce cortisol (the stress hormone) and insulin as the body enters a "food scarcity" mode, signaling the body to store fat and slow metabolism.

You produce more of the 'Ghrelin' hormone to step-up your hunger signals so you will eat.

You get "hangry" (hungry & angry) and start to give in and eat richer foods, higher in fats, sugar and calories and you overeat in response to denying yourself the nourishment your body needed.

You feel guilty for overeating. You feel disappointed and blame yourself. You continue feeling stressed.

As your stress continues so does your overeating and a sense of desperation to start another quickie diet , which sets the stage for more off-and-on weight gain all over again!

Hopefully by now you're giving a middle finger to the quick fad diets that have unrealistic lifestyle plans.

     If your body is meant to weigh-less it shouldn't require drugs, extreme workouts, supplements, detoxing or intense self-monitoring to get you there.

     Most fast & quick diets are nothing but smoke and mirrors, creating problems for your mind and body and some are down right Ridiculous and even Dangerous.

     Ever hear of the "Air Diet?" Just hold your fork to your mouth and pretend you're eating. Or how about having a device "surgically inserted" in your stomach so you can drain the food you just ate directly into the toilet.

     When you embrace Intuitive Eating you won't need a hurried diet to help you reach your body goal. You’ll have your wonderful body signals to guide your decisions.

     When we tell ourselves we "can't" eat certain foods, they become extra special and more desirable. With Intuitive Eating your food choices will be yours and they will make YOU feel good physically and emotionally. 

     Don't spend your entire life doing whatever you can to make your body smaller. Stop the mainstream quick weight-loss fads that add more food to your BAD list and less food to your GOOD list.

     Take a moment to peek at:

18-Days To Master The 'Freedom' Of Intuitive Eating

and stop saying, "I'll need to make up for what I just ate tomorrow."

     When you say good-bye to the fast quick diets, you'll say hello to freedom and peace. And that's when you'll open the gateways to reaching your body goal and a much better chance in keeping it off, for good.

With Love & Light
