No More Diets - Which type of dieter are you?

18th September 2005

Hi!

Back to a round of school parents' evenings and picking up
children at the school gate every day.

It amazes me how I send my two boys to school with a whole
(mainly healthy!) packed lunch and half of it comes back at
the end of the day. But when they are at home they are
hungry every 5 minutes and would wolf the lot down.

I put this down to how much there is going on at school -
there are more interesting things to do than eating - like
football, swap cards and chatting with their friends.

Maybe this is a lesson for us all to keep interested in what
we're doing not just in what we're having for lunch and dinner
- I know when I'm absorbed in something I sometimes forget
to eat until I'm really hungry too!

Have a great week

Love

"The friendliest place to lose weight on the web"

Feature Article : Which type of dieter are you?

Are you the kind who starts full of enthusiasm embracing a
new plan on day 1 yet falling by the wayside a few weeks or
months later?

Or are you a dabbler - someone who tries a bit of this plan
a bit of that and never really gets anywhere?

Or are you someone who gets to your target weight, more or
less keeping to your diet, and then ditches it with glee
only to put all the weight back on again?

Or are you are person who is forever starting again on
Monday?

Whatever type you are now, you can be successful in future,
but you WILL need a change in approach - after all if the
ways you've tried to lose weight and keep it off in the past
haven't worked for you, chances are they never will.

How do the people who succeed at losing weight actually do
it?

Among my coaching clients I have established four factors
that make the difference (and you don't even need a coach to
put them in place):-

* an absolute determination to succeed
* openness to changing your habits for the long term not
just to meet your target weight
* having a simple plan to follow that you can live with
for life
* getting support

With these four elements in place the effort of losing
weight is easier than you might imagine. It's still an
effort but one that you will find is worth making.

* If you were absolutely determined to succeed you would
not find it so difficult to choose healthy food
options, to change what you need to change.
* If you were happy to change your habits for life you
would not have that diet mentality where you deprive
yourself of a cookie all day only to give in and eat
the whole packet in the evening, where you feel the
need to "cheat" and then suffer the "guilt" or "shame"
that comes with it
* Having a simple plan means you don't get bored with
counting and calculating, measuring and weighing food
or despairing as you huff and puff around the gym using
a regime that doesn't suit you or your lifestyle.
* And getting support - from family, from friends, from
the routines and structure you put in place simply
makes things go more easily, whatever system you're
following.

Over the next four weeks we'll look at each of these
elements individually. You will see how to change your own
approach so you can succeed in losing weight too.

Meanwhile have a think about which of these elements are
missing in the way you go about losing weight just now and
see if you can find ways to put some of them in place.

Kitchen gadget : Slow cooker or crock pot

There's nothing like coming home starving to be greeted by a
healthy and delicious meal already prepared for you.

If you don't have a willing and able chef waiting in the
wings at home, a slow cooker is the next best thing. A
quick bit of preparation in the morning, throw it all in and
it's ready for dinner on your return.

It's best to use the book of recipes that come with your own
unit as they do vary a little or experiment with other crock
pot recipes adapting them for your particular machine.

These machines used to be just for families but they now
come in a smaller size so you can cook for one or two.

Well worth buying. Why not treat yourself as a reward the
next time you reach a milestone in your diet?

Q and A : Keeping slim

A member asks "Whatever diet I've tried in the past I always
put the weight straight back on again. Is there anything I
can do while going through the Diet Exit Plan to stop that
happening this time?"

The answer lies in the difference between the Diet Exit Plan
and a normal diet.

On a diet you have a period of continual restriction and as
often as not this is followed by a period of overeating when
you stop dieting to make up for it. Feast follows famine.
And piling on the pounds follows reaching your target weight
as sure as eggs are eggs.

On the Diet Exit Plan you learn to eat just enough healthy
delicious food all the time to lose weight with an odd
occasion where you decide to overeat - you never have to
feel deprived. (Occasional overeating doesn't matter - it's
what you do day in day out that counts.)

In addition Simply Slimming offers advice about how to
simply monitor yourself after you reach your target weight
which means you have a way of making sure you will continue
to fit your new skinny clothes!
