The diet culture is everywhere around us but that doesn’t mean you should follow it. A diet is a set of rules that limits your food intake in one way or another without real medical reasons, and it’s often the reason behind the feeling of guilt you may have when it comes to food. Here are three reasons why you should never diet.
No Long Term Results
Dieting is not a good way to lose weight and keep it off. When you’re on a diet, food gets even more tempting and you can’t wait to be done with it so you can eat all your favorite foods again. This is exactly the problem that leads to gaining weight again after you stop dieting and it’s what makes many people become obsessed with food and calories.
Losing Weight Shouldn’t Be Your Ultimate Goal
The idea that you can’t be happy until you lose weight is a wrong and toxic one. It’s the recipe for being miserable throughout your life and unsuccessful dieting can only make you believe that you don’t deserve to be happy just as you are.
You Won’t Be Healthier
While we often connect the way we look with many health conditions, dieting is not the way to get healthier. Focusing on foods that are rich in nutrients is certainly helpful, but simply dieting and wanting to become thinner at all costs can often lead you in the wrong direction.
