In no particular order, some reasons for failing to keep to a diet, failing to help a diet to work - some reasons more profound than others….

1. Going on any diet that is NOT a manner of eating that they can adhere to for the rest of their lives.

2. Believes that they can eat cabbage soup everyday for the rest of their lives when starting that diet!


3. Obsessing over counting calories.

4. Weighing more than once a week.

5. Not drinking enough water.

6. Drinking sugar laden drinks, such as lemonade, soft drinks, gourmet coffees, fruity drinks, etc…

7. Eating more bread, pasta, potatoes than proteins, lean meats, fruits and vegetables.

8. Consuming processed foods more often than fresh.

9. Cooking the benefits away from vegetables and fruits by overcooking them.

10. Having a negative, defeatist attitude.
