Ditch the Diet Mindset

How many times have you tried to lose weight only to find yourself gaining it back after a period of time? 
This phenomenon is more common than we think, and it happens to all gender, race & religion. 
Read more below on how to ditch the diet mindset!
For 1 month your weight goes down, and the next 3 months it goes up. This trend may last for months and even years, and somehow you cannot find the right diet to break this trend.

Let me tell you right now: you are not alone facing this. 

There is simply too much information out there, from doctors and superstars sharing about their successful diets, to health supplements companies preaching & providing the latest scientific evidence that their fat loss pills work. It is no wonder one finds it so difficult to digest the information and select what suits you. Let us introduce the concept of “ditching the diet” approach to you.

What is ditching the diet about?

It refers to moving away from a focus on dieting and restriction and instead adopting a more holistic and sustainable approach to healthy eating and lifestyle. This approach involves rejecting the idea that there is a "perfect" or "ideal" diet, and instead embracing a non-restrictive, flexible and mindful approach to food and body image.  This approach values nourishing the body with healthy, whole foods, and engaging in physical activity for the benefits it provides, rather than for weight loss purposes. It also involves developing a positive relationship with food, rather than one based on guilt, restriction, or punishment.  

TO keep things even simpler for you, just remember these pointers:

  1. Understand the basics of nutrition.
  2. Develop a good relationship with food through reading your hunger cues
  3. Consistency and Sustainability Jumping from diet to diet is unhealthy for the body.
All in all, by ditching the diet mindset, individuals can reduce stress, anxiety and negative feelings associated with dieting, and instead focus on adopting healthy habits that are enjoyable, sustainable and lead to improved physical and mental well-being. This approach can also help individuals develop a healthier relationship with food and their bodies, leading to improved self-esteem, body image and overall quality of life.
