Tip: Moderation is the key to diet success

Tip: Moderation is the key to diet success


Why do most diets fail? They typically fail because the dieter sets unrealistic rules they cannot follow long term. One rule that seems to always be a reoccurring theme is the "I shall not eat junk food until I have lost X amount of lbs" rule. Truth be told, not many of us have the will power to go cold turkey on our favorite treats. How realistic is it to tell yourself that you will not eat pizza, ice cream or whatever your favorite treat is for until you've lost 5, 10, 20lbs? This is how we ultimately fail.

How does one diet successfully? In my years as a fitness trainer, I never put my clients on a stereo typical "diet". That is why I create the 3 Phase dietDECK with 3 different plans to fit all needs. I had them master the habit of eating in moderation where nothing is "off limits". This eliminates the feeling of guilt that ultimately leads to diet failure. When you allow yourself to eat what you crave (in moderation of course) then you won't over eat when you do satisfy that craving. You can do simple things such as use a smaller plate to eat off of and always leave a bite or two of food on your plate. Making small changes in your eating habits can make a big difference in your waistline.

So although it is not stated in the cards at this time, make sure that you give yourself a free day and any cravings you have, save them for that day. You will see a huge difference.
