Diet Free? The Best Way to Lose Weight - This Is It!

Have you been a serial dieter for years, have you ever imagined how blissful it would be to be able to give up diets forever, wouldn’t it? It’s amazing the number of people who spend a very large proportion of their lives going on a diet. Some of them may go on their own diets, but others regularly put their hands into their pockets and shell out money for the latest package of weight loss promises.

If somebody said to you that endless dieting was very bad for you, what would you say? Unfortunately, serial dieting does you absolutely no good, both physically and mentally.

The physical dimension? Each time you go on a diet you lose both fat and muscle. When the weight comes back again, it’s fat that comes back, not muscle. After going on several diets you will have reduced your muscle mass and increased the amount of fat on your body. You end up getting heavier.

Unless you go on a fairly intensive course of resistance exercises, you will never recover that muscle mass. Added to that, as you get older you lose muscle mass naturally. You lose between 0.5% and 2% of muscle mass every year over the age of forty. If you lose muscle mass through going on endless diets and natural muscle loss can have a pretty devastating effect on you physically. It leaves you very weak, and as you get older mobility gets to be an even greater problem - particularly if you are still overweight.

Mentally, serial dieters can have very real problems. Mostly this is brought about not only by the debilitating effect of constant dieting, but dealing with constant failure.

What is the best way to lose weight? Certainly not going on a diet! The best way is to learn new habits, slim habits. Slim habits help you to change your behavior. Until you change your behavior and get rid of all the bad habits that made you fat, you will never lose weight. Making change is the only way to lose weight effectively and permanently.
