DIETS DON'T WORK

Really?

Yeah.   Really.

Sure if you follow a diet plan to the letter and train like a trooper you'll get instant results.... BUT....how likely is it that you'll keep this up after reaching your goal weight??  Probably none, at least not unless you commit to a miserable sentence of 'Lifetime Dieting'.

The problem is not necessarily about you eating badly, or bad genes, or "that you were born unlucky!!".   The problem is: you are not in the HABIT of eating HEALTHY. Yes,  there is a difference.

Never ever make unrealistic demands on yourself that set you up for a fall.   Instead, start with ONE small change you can quite easily sustain forever.   Eg glass of water in the morning,  or one extra portion of green veg per day.    Once you start feeling the benefits,  you'll crave the clean energy of healing food.  Strive to make that your new addiction.

I have given up bread for Lent (I wasn't brave enough to dismiss desserts as well) but this is a change I would like to keep.



Not because of the carb content by the way, but there's been some conspiracy around wheat having an addictive nature and how a new monstrous strain of wheatgerm has been cultivated by the food industry.


I'll keep you posted after Easter to see if I kept it up! 

Until next time,  have a fabulous week of energy and vitality.
