| Where
Diets Go Wrong by Nora Penia
Strictly speaking, diets don't fail,
people fail to stick with a diet. Following any
reduced calorie diet will result in weight loss.
The problem is sticking with it. Unfortunately,
most diets have built-in failures which trip up
the dieter.
Diets go wrong by being too restrictive.
Many conventional diets demand a fairly low calorie
intake in order to lose weight. They are based
on a fairly simple concept: in order to lose weight
one must eat less. Although true, for people who
have a large amount of weight to lose, reducing
their usual daily intake by 1000 - 2000 calories
a day is a depressing task. Such dieters feel
deprived before even starting a new diet. Even
for people with small amounts to lose, cutting
their usual intake from 2200 or 2500 to 1200 calories,
can be a shock to the system. A quick glance at
any women’s magazine reveals at least one
sample menu for weight loss. Upon comparison,
the amounts of food seem very small and usually
include uninteresting foods such as yogurt, cottage
cheese and chicken breasts.
