Dieting vs. Lifestyle Change

yessicarathsak Posts: 249 Joined: 2007/09/20	2008/01/01, 09:28 PM So I was reading 'Eating for Life' today by Bill Phillips and I came across a quote that I love and agree with 100%. He says, "As I see it, dieting is like going underwater and holding your breath. Eventually, you have to come up. And that's what dieting is like- it's like holding your breath underwater. Eventually you have to come to the surface, and when you do, you gasp for air and inhale all you can, so to speak." I agree so much with this because ultimatly all diets will fail. But, if you make a lifestyle change it will eventually become permanent, and won't feel like work or deprivation at all. So this year, insead of making a resolution to go on a diet, make one to permanently change your lifestyle for the better. I think you'll find it much easier this way. Good luck everyone! :big_smile:

This is what works, diets are short term and when we refer to diet, we are referring to your eating habits, not any short term 'fix'. -------------- Baseball is the only field of endeavor where a man can succeed three times out of ten and be considered a good performer
