Fad Diets

As I was thinking about my blog post today and reading the articles that I get everyday in my alerts, I find myself frustrated. You see a lot of the articles refer to Fad Diets. In a matter of minutes I was inundated with the 21 pounds in 21 days diet, the potato diet, the breaking dawn diet, and the list goes on and on. Early this morning I read my daily devotional which had this to say:

When you see a shortcut, it's usually a temptation to cut the corner financially, ethically or morally - just take a little shortcut. But you are also saying, 'God, I think I can reach my goal a whole lot quicker my way than your way.'

So if I put these together, I think fad diets are a short cut that you think will get you to your goal weight faster but there is a higher power that is truly in control and will show you the way to lose weight correctly.

I have tried every fad diet in the universe. I swear if there was a diet out there I was on it for at least a day or two however I have found that every time I took the shortcut, I never won. I may have won for a few moments or even months but in the end the weight always came back. So this time I'm doing it right. I'm exercising, working out, eating my veggies and still binging occasionally just not as often as I did before. I'm human, you are human - be kind to yourself and know that you can do this the right way. If you think you can't just remember that shortcuts are temptations to do things the "easy" way but really if you don't do things the "right" way, it's not going to work.

Fad diets are so horrible. Take baby steps, try to get in 20 ounces of water a day then move to 30 ounces increase 10 ounces a week and eventually you will be at the amount of water you need in a day. But you have to take the baby steps to ensure success. This same technique works for diets. Add a vegetable a week and eventually you are eating main dishes of all veggies and your meat becomes the side dish. Then you are track to battling to heal all that ails you!
