Do you ever wonder why some people have been able to lose a lot of weight and keep it off, while you've tried every diet with no success?
Simple, you haven't changed your eating habits.
What most diets have you do is simply cut down on what you eat, controlling portion sizes to keep calories in check.
After losing weight you gradually go back to your old eating habits and the weight you lost gradually ends up being regained.
Then you try another diet, thinking the last one didn't work, with this cycle going on for years.
The basis for most diets is to consume less calories and get more exercise. Seems simple, right?
The problem is that most foods are very high in calories, so to eat the right amount for the diet you end up eating tiny portions and feeling hungry all the time.
And any diet that leaves you feeling hungry is bound to fail.
There is no way to lose weight, and keep it off, unless you radically change what you eat.
By radical, I mean by doing something as extreme as becoming vegetarian or vegan, fundamentally changing how you eat.
A vegetarian is simply somebody who doesn't eat meat, while a vegan is simply a vegetarian who doesn't eat animal products such as dairy and eggs. Nothing more, nothing less.
The hardest part of this switch is trying to learn what foods you can eat. Switching to being vegetarian makes this easy, simply leave out meat. Everything else is fair game.
For many people this simple step, not eating meat, is the hardest. After all, we've been raised to believe that meat is a staple of our diet.
Will you miss eating meat? Possibly. But chances are when you start seeing positive results in weight loss you will like that more.
If you can make this giant leap, then everything else will come easy.
