Hi!
Thanks for all your comments on the new look newsletter - I think you liked it!
One thing that the new version lets me see is how many people actually open the ezine. I was quite dismayed at the percentage until I saw the industry average! It seems more than half just collect emails in their inboxes and don't read them...
But anyway if you are reading this at least you are trying to do something about your weight unless you are there at your computer instead of out running or something :)
Have a great week
Love

Feature Article : Diet or No Diet
I have long believed that diets are not the answer for most people to losing weight. But I also know from your emails that many of you still try to lose weight through dieting and so I try and make this ezine appropriate for you too.
And the truth is that diets do work for some people. They work when you have the determination to stick with them to the bitter end and more importantly to carry on with them after you lose weight (if they have a maintenance program you can follow).
What absolutely does not work is
a) not sticking with the diet until you reach your target weight (the problem for most people) and
b) reverting back to your old eating habits after your diet (the problem for nearly all the rest)
But if you want to go on a diet, don't let me stop you. Though I would like to see the end of weight loss diets, it's unlikely to happen in my lifetime so feel free to go ahead with your plan of choice. But please also think about applying some of the "no diet" principles and tactics you learn here at the same time. Most of the strategies will complement your diet rather than go against it. Whatever you do:-
Weight loss diets are, by their nature, temporary. But you have to change the habits that are making you overweight permanently to make any kind of weight loss a permanent feature. If you think about it nothing else makes sense. We'd just like to think it would be as easy as a month or six of restricting our eating so that we can get back to "normal" but normal eating doesn't make you fat - only overeating does that. So you have to get out of the habit of eating too much for your level of activity to stay slim for the rest of your life.
If you look at any group of people you will see that their size is not a reflection of whether they have been on the latest miracle Dr Whatever diet. It is a reflection of their habits - simple as that. What is your size saying about your habits?

Whatever you do:-
- Choose some healthy changes you want to make in your lifestyle and start making them a habit alongside your diet.
- Continue with your healthy habits no matter what happens with your diet. They will serve you for life.
- Keep gradually improving your lifestyle and habits on an ongoing basis and you will eventually find that you never have to diet again even if you never lose the weight through whatever diet you are on this week or month.
