Secrets That Effortlessly Slim, Toned People Take For Granted

[agnes hanks]

It's true that obesity and overweight are serious problems that are
creating enormous damage in every civilised country in the world.
However it's also true that a culture of dieting is likewise doing
serious damage, even leading to the deaths of thousands of teenage
girls every year.
So the first secret that I want to let you in on, is that effortlessly
slim, toned people do not, ever, diet!
That's right, they don't diet. It wouldn't occur to them to diet. They
think diets are stupid - they SCOFF at diets!
Now, you might be thinking "Of course they don't diet -- they don't
have a problem, dummy!" but in fact if they did diet they certainly
would have a problem. For a start they'd be at least 6 lbs heavier
than they are right now. Because diets put on weight.
That's right - diets put on weight. Health Department statistics show
that overall the average INCREASE in weight due to dieting is 6 lbs
annually. So if you never dieted the chances are you'd weigh a lot
less than you do right now.
Why do diets cause weight gain? The reason is that NO-ONE ever stays
on a diet (thank goodness, because I'm yet to see one that has
anything like the variety needed for healthy eating) and EVERYONE puts
the weight back on. This causes a yo-yo effect with weight going up
and down - which slows down your metabolic rate and not only
accumulates more fat, it makes you feel tired and crabby as well!
This secret doesn't just apply to dieting, but to meal replacements,
or pills, or any other thing that you might *temporarily* do in an
effort to lose weight.
If you're like most people, you've most likely dieted lots of times!
When we ask our clients how many diets they've been on, they quite
often tell us it's probably 20, 30, 40 or even more. When we ask how
much money they've spent on dieting, we hear figures in the tens of
thousands of dollars over a lifetime.
If diets worked, people wouldn't need to keep doing them. If diets
worked, all that money would be a good investment. But the problem is,
as health studies consistently show, diets fail for almost 100% of
people. Exercise programs fail even more spectacularly!
If diets were merely useless, and merely prevented people from seeking
out real solutions to overweight, as health professionals we'd already
be up in arms!
But diets are not only useless - they're DANGEROUS, and here's
why ....
The Serious Health Problems Caused Directly by Dieting
I've just explained to you why dieting is such a massive waste of
time, effort and money. Now I need to share with you the very serious
health problems directly caused by dieting.
This isn't because I enjoy nagging or being up on my soapbox J. It's
because so very few people actually do know the vast harm caused by
dieting. Here are some of the most serious direct effects of dieting:
1 With weight loss dieting, what is often lost is not fat, but fluid
and muscle mass, further compromising metabolic rate and our health.
Fluid in particular can be stripped off very fast (which is exactly
what a low carb diet does!), but of course it returns amazingly
quickly as well!
It's physically impossible for most people to eliminate more than
0.5-1 kg per week in actual fat. If you're losing more than that you
are probably lowering your metabolism through fluid or muscle loss.
2 Diets have been linked with eating disorders, particularly amongst
children, and particularly amongst children of mothers who have
dieted. Do you realise that in Australia thousands of girls die every
year from eating disorders that started out as diets?
This is a fact that gets little publicity amongst the general public,
but the figures are there in black and white and all health
professionals know that eating disorders are the MOST FATAL of all of
the psychological disorders.
3 Weight loss dieting can cause health problems and can even lead to
gall bladder disease if the decrease is too rapid. While I have the
greatest respect for the medical profession, even today there are
ignorant doctors who expose their patients to emergency surgery by
prescribing ultra low-calorie eating regimes.
Some of these idiots even state that vitamin injections can make up
for lost nutrition and too-rapid weight loss! These guys don't deserve
to practise!
4 The reason for many older women's difficulty in losing weight is not
their age! They have literally stuffed up their metabolism through yo-
yo dieting! (Luckily that can be rectified.)
5 Dieting has been strongly linked with lowered libido. Diets can
wreck a great sex life and a great relationship!
6 Diets often don't provide correct nutrition, leading to problems
with concentration and memory and also decreased wellbeing. Low carb
diets are notorious for creating or worsening depression!
7 Food *deprivation* causes food *cravings*! This means that every
diet literally self-destructs from the cravings that it creates.
So why diet? It doesn't work. Instead it causes problems. Effortlessly
slim, toned people seem to understand this instinctively, and stay
away from dieting LIKE THE PLAGUE!

DIET. Would you like to know the other 6 secrets of effortlessly slim,
