When people go on a diet, they don’t always succeed. It’s an unfortunate truth, but one of the reasons is that dieting can be so darn hard at times. People wonder why they struggle so often, and there can be many different answers to that question. However, there’s one thing that some people overlook that may be the solution they’re looking for. The answer, friends, is a little something called accountability, and here’s why.

External Accountability

Now, we don’t mean self-accountability, the kind that preaches that we should all be ensuring that we’re being accountable for ourselves. That’s all good and all, but this isn’t where the real work is at. If people were able to be accountable for themselves, they wouldn’t have to diet in the first place. No, what we’re talking about is external accountability.

External accountability is having a buddy, or a nutritionist, or a doctor keeping tabs on you and making sure that you’re holding up your end of the diet. Not unlike a workout buddy, this person is there to support you and pick you up when you’re struggling.

There’s no denying that having someone like this is helpful, but some people would rather not have someone to answer to. If that sounds like you, consider giving it a try, because you may just find that the additional support will make all the difference in your growth.

When it comes to dieting, there are countless methods that nutritionists promote. One of these methods is to go cold turkey as far as eating unhealthy foods go. Cold turkey, also known as refraining completely from whatever it is, can be effective for a lot of people. However, it’s definitely not a good idea for some people, and it’s important to remember that. If it’s not working for you, here’s why you shouldn’t worry.

We’re All Different

Everyone is different, from a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual standpoint. What may work for one individual may not necessarily work for someone else. This is why it’s important not to assume that you’re a failure if another person’s methodโ€”such as going cold turkeyโ€”didn’t work for you.

A More Natural Approach

You might be the type of approach that doesn’t react well to a strict cold turkey mentality. You might be more akin to a more natural approach. For instance, instead of eating sweet food every night, maybe you can eat it twice a week, or what’s more commonly known as a “cheat day”. Just relax and don’t persecute yourself because you’re on your way to finding what dieting method works best for you!

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.

While many people swear that fasting is the method that helped them achieve many health-related goals, we must ask ourselves if this is really a universal approach thatโ€™s good for most people. The short answer is that itโ€™s not. Skipping meals and starving for the most part of the day isnโ€™t something that anyone can or should do. It mostly depends on several factors, such as your current diet, whether you have children, how mentally engaging your job is, how willing your partner is to support you, etc. Going for hours without food can be liberating, but it doesnโ€™t just happen overnight. It requires practice and adaptation to the new lifestyle that not everyone can commit to.ย 

There are many groups of people who shouldnโ€™t fast, such as teenagers, the elderly, women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, people with chronic illnesses (unless supervised by a doctor), etc. For the rest, itโ€™s a matter of choosing the most appropriate lifestyle.

You may have tried many short-term diets so far, only to realize it’s too difficult to keep up with them. But if you get through week two, things get much easier.

You probably already know that fad diets won’t bring you the desired result. If you want to make changes that last, it’s important to do it in a sustainable way. Some days will be more difficult than others and that’s when you need to be extra careful not to fall off the wagon.

No matter what you want to achieve with a change in diet, know that you can’t do it in a matter of weeks. You’ll need to be patient and monitor your body’s reactions carefully. After two weeks, the initial motivation will start to wear down and it all comes down to your discipline and determination.
