Why most dieters get it wrong

Every day for the rest of your life.
I had a neighbor once who ate differently every day, three times a day. He kept changing it so much that his habit became a routine in itself. One day he confided to me that he could never eat a same meal because otherwise his life would be even more boring! So I suggested he take a break from his dull existence. And so he moved to Thailand!
And the food? Everyday Khao Neow Moo Ping he wrote in his last email. He did not further explain what that is, too focused and busy with his new life filled with all kinds of beauties - both women AND men!
Now, would this guy have doubted my advice? He still would be the fat bore from next door he was three years ago. Never question my food again!
You're a weirdo. I kinda like that.0 -
yanno what?
nevermind.
My sentiments exactly! :happy:0 -
This morning my 12 week Challenge meal plan said Muesli and Protein Powder with yoghurt.
Hmmm... didn't really appeal to me.
So I had toast with ham, eggs and baby spinach instead. My body said thank you and so I think the trick worked.
No rabbit in a hat required. I must be getting good at this.0 -
So I googled "crazy parfait" for the shiggles. First picture:
You're welcome.
Is it me, or does every item in those parfaits looks as if it were made of plastic? That doesn't even look like real food! :noway:
Looks like plastic to me as well.0 -
HUH? I am still confused and......

Magicians trick an audience, I am merely talking about tricking your body which is much easier and does not require special skills!
Just try this for once: stand in the front of a mirror and tell yourself that you are in control. YOU, not your body, not your mind. Have you ever done this? Well, I have. And you know what I noticed? That I had forgotten to shave and that that didn't look all too bad on me.0 -

So the trick is 100 grams difference in chicken? Serious question.
Let me share some assumptions:
1. the main factor of weight loss/gain is food. Not cardio, not lifting, not sex.
2. everybody has a standard of maintenance.
3. changing this standard has an effect on your weight.
4. your body tries to adapt to the change so that the change becomes the new standard
5. by eating more if we gain and eating less if we lose we fool our body and thus be in control
Example:
Eat less - lose
Eat less - lose
Eat less - lose
Eat less - plateau
Eat more - gain
Eat more - gain
Eat more - plateau
Eat more - lose
Eat less - lose even more
Eat less - lose
etc.
It's like talking 3 steps forward and taking 2 back, or once in a while taking 4 back. Yes it's slow but it's progressively effective. As long as YOU know what you change, and your body doesn't.
You realize that the body recognizes and utilizes food through a series of complex biochemical signals and hormone changes and not by a cognitive function, right? You can't "fool" your body into not utilizing all of the calories you consume when scarfing a whole pizza by saying to your stomach "now listen body, this is really only the one piece. Got it? It's just the one piece, I swear." It'd be like gluing some carrot sticks to your hamburger and expecting your body to be confused into only using the calories from the vegetables.0 -

I don't know where you get your info, but you are very incorrect... You can train your body to not be hungry by eating less.(THE DOWNFALL IS YOU GAIN WEIGHT).. If you change your eating habits and eat often, ie.. every 3 hrs, you will be hungry sooner than later..... Tricking you body comes from putting the right food in your system... The only thing you could trick you body into would be Keotosis. But that comes with a very strict low car diet and systematically increasing carbs. The only downfall to this diet (There has yet to be a person to prove Dr. Atkins incorrect - That's why it's still used in every hospital in the U.S. Today!) is the loss of muscle along with fat. The Atkins diet is probably one of the easiest diets to do and you loose extreme amount of weight. Eating correctly and often keeps your body from going into starvation. Loosing weight is easy... The formula easy... garbage in, garbage out... and making the necessary caloric adjustments for any exercise in between. People need to stop setting GOALS. YES I SAID IT....SETTING GOALS ARE STUPID. What happens 90% of the time when you get to a goal....YOU QUIT WHEN YOU ACHIEVE IT.. Being healthy is A LIFE STYLE. For those of us who do not have the genetics for it and have to constantly work at it... Being thin for us is a complete life style change.
Do you know why people gain wait from eating out????? Because of all the **** that the FDA has been feeding us for YEARS....Yes... I said it.. it's not a conspiracy... Its fact! Why is it that in the early 40-50-60's it was healthy to eat bread? Why because MAN had not touched it...and what I mean by touched it is Genetically Engineering it to produce more crop.... Did you people know that the WHEAT plant has about 53 extra chromosomes that GOD (or the maker of the heavens and earth is - who ever that person is to you) did not intend for our body's to process...These are called SYNTHETICS. They are items that are synthesized and are not naturally produced.. for ie... all food that is processed.... canned beans,corn . . . everything. The body up digesting these synthetics CAN NOT process these items efficiently and what happens is you body starts concentrating all its efforts in trying to process that food.. What does that do... Makes you gain weight because it's expending all it's energy trying to rid of the **** you put into it... Why is it that all athlete or models or fitness guru's eat healthy... Because they know this... If you people really want to loose weight... Stop eating out and start making your own meals from food that you get from farmers markets etc... you want food that doesn't have all the junk in it... If you just changed that. . . .. .JUST YOUR FOOD.... you will loose weight... YOU DON'T HAVE TO WORK OUT TO LOOSE WEIGHT...YES I SAID IT....all trainers try to do is make $$$$$$ off us by feeding us **** about how important working out is... IT'S BULL****.... YES I SAID IT BULL****! the real formula for having the model physique and being cut is 90% DIET 10% EXCESSIVE!.......

I fixed most of your grammar errors. I understand your frustration but please CALM DOWN before you start typing, or you'll look stupid.
I understand your frustration with spelling mistakes but the one and most annoyingly common spelling mistake that you missed - that I see way too often is "loose" when it should be "lose".
Boy oh boy that drives me insane!!
Who wants to "loose" "wait"???
Not I!
I want to lose weight!!
Ketosis
and lose not loose.
cal not car
weight not wait

I think I understand what you're trying to say, why you're saying it. But, you aren't really explaining what you're saying.
While I can read between the lines and see what you're saying, and, if I understand you right, I (mostly) agree, your post lacks specifics, methodology, and lacks enough information to help anyone learn from what you say you've learned.
I myself struggled to lose my last 50-60 pounds, but once I had a solid calorie number per day, I was able to add calories back into my diet (800/day), I lost my last 50-60 pounds. So, like I say, I understand what you're saying.
Do you care to share your point of view, with more facts/observations, and less flourish?

My grandpa was such a grammar watcher. I never knew until I once caught him red-handed. Apparently he hadn’t noticed me walking in, too occupied by correcting someone’s comment on a post about monasteries in Cambodia. I asked what he was doing. Oh, he said, I’m just making sure there are no mistakes in this person’s comment. So I told him that wasn’t what he was doing - what he was doing was jacking someone’s post.
He thought jacking was a dance technique.
I informed him it wasn’t. I also told him it wasn’t about his hairstyle as in what some people say when they are talking about Jacking it to Jesus, when they actually mean that the higher your hair is, the closer you are to God.
Anyhow, catching him in the act of jacking made him feel very guilty and he swore he would never correct somebody else’s grammar no more (I said that ‘never no more’ was a grammatical mistake in itself, but that there was nothing against correcting gramma, which on his turn he thought was a lame remark)...
Too bad he’s with the angels now, my grandpa - although I’m not sure since he was a devout Buddhist.0
