Hi!

Apparently today is International No Diet day where we all get to eat what we like without guilt. It's a weekend so no doubt a lot of us will be doing that anyway before trying to diet again on Monday!

If you hate that Monday "must go on a diet" feeling then it may be time to do something different. See this week's article for more.

Have a great week

Love

Feature Article : No more Dieting

When we are trying to lose weight, we often spend our lives thinking about food - what we can eat, how often, how long is it before you can eat something again, how you really want a Mars Bar but you'd better not.

Food almost becomes a bit of an obsession and dieting feels like a miserable condition you imposed upon yourself. Before long you've given up and feel like you'll never make your target weight.

But actually it's not your inability to diet that's the problem if you're not managing to lose weight.

The problem is you're looking in the wrong direction.

With a diet you are trying to attack the symptoms (your excess weight) rather than the root cause - why you put on weight in the first place.

Now you may think that you put on weight because you ate too much and didn't move enough and you'd be right at one level - but if you dig deeper you'll usually find that there's more behind it. Maybe....

  • You got into the habit of eating out a lot and eating too much every time
  • You went out drinking with your friends several night a week
  • You got bored or lonely and eating gave you comfort
  • You couldn't be bothered to cook after a hard day at work and take-aways offered an easier option
  • You got into the habit of having a cookie every time you had a cup of coffee
  • You went through a stressful time and eating seemed to help you cope


Maybe there are a whole load of reasons why you weigh more than you'd like.

To lose weight without dieting, you need to tackle the habits and situations which lead you to eat too much too often.

Change your environment, change your circumstances, change your route to work, change your attitude - whatever is at the root of your weight problem. As you gradually build the habits and make the changes which support your weight loss, you'll find losing weight much easier.

You will still have to lose the pounds of course, but you will be tackling the problem from a completely different direction - building the habits that keep you slim for life, creating a healthy lifestyle and making changes that improve your overall well-being.

Recipe of the week : Vegetable Rice

Replace the savoury rice you get in packets (full of chemicals) with this healthy alternative. Serve with grilled meat, fish or an omelette for a healthy easy dinner.

140 calories a serving.

Serves 4

100g (4oz) long-grain rice
450ml (3/4 pint) vegetable stock (broth)
1 bunch spring (green salad) onions, chopped
1 red (bell) pepper, deseeded and chopped
1 medium carrot, peeled and finely diced
1 stick celery, finely chopped
100g (4oz) button mushrooms, sliced
100g (4oz) frozen peas
2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley (optional)

Rinse the rice and place in a pan with all the ingredients except the peas. Bring to the boil, cover tightly and simmer over a very low heat for 15 to 20 minutes until the rice is cooked, adding the peas for the last few minutes. Season to taste and stir in the parsley before serving.
