Nutrition 911 by Mary Saucier Choate: Try the Media Detox Diet – Caledonian Record

Diets that Work Comments Off on Nutrition 911 by Mary Saucier Choate: Try the Media Detox Diet – Caledonian Record

Its February, so the New You ads for dieting and weight loss have let up a little. This barrage of you can look like this model/celebrity media messages on TV, and social media and magazines can leave even a healthy, strong and fit person feeling out of shape and out of sorts.

The fad diets, popular diet books, and all diets and overzealous work out systems that promise permanent weight loss dont deliver except for a tiny percentage of people. What is much more likely to happen is any weight lost during the calorie-restriction / over strenuous part of the program will return, plus more weight will be gained, when your bodys desire for adequate calories eventually comes roaring back. Thank goodness it does! We cant starve ourselves into good health. We can however do our best to support our health by choosing good foods that we are hungry for and regular activity that we enjoy.

The next time you are sucked into watching an infomercial about a diet or exercise system with before and after pictures and testimonials think about this: You dont know if the weight returned within 6 months to a year after they shot the video odds are it did and you will never see this part of the results.

Here is the viewing diet I recommend to fill up on nourishing, science-based healthy eating and activity facts, while restricting your access to fad diets and exercise ads.

Step One: Load up your saved websites, and Facebook or Twitter feed with groups that promote body-positive, healthy eating and weight.

Step Two: Find science-based healthy eating guidance that is simple and that is filled with the foods you enjoy. Hint: You wont need to buy any supplements or other expensive add-ons; real food will give you what your body needs!

Step Three: Explore moving your body in ways that appeal to you- you never have to go to a gym. Or you can be a gym rat- its up to you. Your body was meant to move- so move it, joyfully, every day.

Love and Take Care of the Body You Have

Learning to love the body you have, right now, at this weight, is probably the best thing you can do for your health. We tend to care for things we love better than for things we hate- right? Ill leave you with this nourishing thought from the body-positive website, Beautyredefined.org: Having positive body image isnt believing your body looks good; it is believing it IS good, regardless of how it looks
