Diet Secrets No. 1

 The Diet Secrets No-one Talks About

Diet Secrets.There are a number of well-proven, medically endorsed techniques, that can dramatically help someone to lose weight. But why are they not that well publicised? The reason is simple: it’s because there’s no money in it.

It is a sad, but true statement, that the vast majority of the diet and weight loss industry is driven globally by profit. Cash is the Driver. In fact, the industry has a reported value of around a staggering $270 billion dollars, which is undoubtedly a lot of money! So, what is the real secret to losing weight?

Diet Secrets and the $270 Billion

The weight loss market comprises many components, including the extensive meal replacement market, bars, shakes and drinks. Hospitals provide an ever-growing assortment of weight loss surgical interventions, along with the vast number of slimming clubs. As an example, Weight Watchers alone in 2019 made a gross profit of $786 million. All of which is a lot….

Diet Secrets — Let’s lose Weight

So let us share with you the first of a few of the little gems that are often kept hidden away from the dieter. Firstly let us confirm that with over 15,000 clinical hours working with overweight clients, we feel qualified to be writing this post. So, would you be surprised to know that the number one attribute of a successful dieter was simply to keep a food diary? Not go to a gym, nor follow a calorie deprivation diet, or attend weekly meetings in the local church hall.

Diet Secrets — The Food Diary/Journal

Harvard Health reported on a study of 1,700 people trying to lose weight. As a result, it confirmed that those who kept a food diary achieved double the weight loss of those that didn’t. In fact, countless research studies at universities around the world have indicated similar results.

So what Are The Real Secrets to Losing Weight?

In the restaurant, eat whatever you want, but as soon as you have ordered, record it before you start to eat. If, half-way through your meal, you decide to eat half a bread roll, fine. Just place your knife and fork on the table, and list the bread roll. If you decide to have a little taste of your partner’s meal, then log it. This will take some effort but you will be surprised with the outcome.

If you want to take it to the next level, consider incorporating details of where you are eating. Also include with whom you are eating, and why… Just ask yourself: are you really hungry, or are you bored, sad, lonely, or just a little depressed…?

Diet Secrets — So Why and How Can This Work?

Psychologists know exactly why and how this works, but are continually baffled as to why more people interested in losing weight don’t use it. The main reason it works is down to a phenomenon called ‘Delayed Gratification’. It’s opposite is ‘Instant Gratification’. Many studies have shown that individuals that show a high level of Delayed Gratification in their lives are always high achievers, high earners, happy and healthy.

Using a Food Diary makes you delay….

If you are reading this thinking, no way…think again. Better still, commit to it for 30 days. Weigh yourself when you get up tomorrow morning and then start. Do it to the letter: write down everything that goes in your mouth, other than black coffee, water and herbal tea. List everything, every peanut, olive and breadcrumb. And importantly, it is vital that you list the items ahead of them going in your mouth.

So What Will Happen?

A number of things will happen. By stopping for a few minutes, and delaying the eating experience, you will, without knowing it start to reduce the amount of completely mindless food you eat. By questioning yourself and asking just why you are eating. For example are you bored, lonely, sad, or simply eating to fit in with someone else? It will immediately make you more aware of the triggers, and the mindless eating you are doing.

Diet Secrets

Our clients who took on the challenge of keeping a food diary reported that just the fact of having to physically get their diary out, sometimes in front of friends, or even worse in front of strangers, made them rethink if it was actually worth the effort. Some reported that when they reviewed the previous day’s list, they were horrified. Read details of the programmes here

Religiously keeping a food diary will prove to be an eye-opener. Diet Secrets. You will quickly identify triggers, the danger times and places, and possibly people too. You will find yourself questioning if you really are physically hungry. Finally, you may well find it such a chore that you decide not to have whatever the snack was. If you’re interested in delayed gratification you should Google the term, because you’ll find thousands of links to research studies.
