Self-Motivation: The Key to the Diet Solution
Being overweight is, as anyone would agree a major affliction in life. It is an affliction that now affects two out of three people in America. A third of our children are also now overweight. With the nations of the west affluent and fast food outlets everywhere, no one is likely to go hungry for long. Yet scientists and health workers know overweight people do not necessarily eat from hunger, more from psychological need or habit. How can any diet plan break through that?
No diet solution that does not include motivation as a major part of its techniques can hope to claim any success even with people who are determined to lose weight. In the end, the sheer tedium of calorie-counting, the chore of exercising and the misery of depriving oneself of one’s favorite food treats, will generally prevail over better impulses unless a diet plan has something else to offer.
Isobel De Los Rios’s Diet Solution Program gets around many of these problems, which may be the reason it is today’s best-selling diet plan, with around 30,000 people’s successes credited to it. It avoids the pitfalls of other diets, which fail their users by sticking to more traditional, less effective strategies such as the aforementioned calorie counting. It does not even stress exercise, which many overweight people find hard, especially before they have lost any weight.
Isobel encourages her dieters to eat well, stressing the need for three meals a day plus snacks in between. It almost sounds too good to be true, especially when you look at some of the recipes she provides, loaded with butter, honey and maple syrup. There is no calorie counting and portion control is only lightly stressed. However, the plan does encourage users to eat organic foods, which may come expensive for the dieter on a budget.
In addition, she does motivate. Dieters are encouraged to keep an “exercise and diet success journal” to keep on track and motivated, and there are many other resources such as audio and video tutorials to keep the user on track. In addition, the platinum upgrade includes personal consultations, with detailed responses supplied to any dieter’s questions.
A look at the ideas behind the diet will show that it could work for anyone, but may take time before any appreciable results are seen; hence, the need for greater motivation, as sticking to any diet without quick results can be very discouraging. This is where the Quick Star Guide is useful, as it provides a key to losing weight rather faster. The menu plans, recipes and shopping list could also be very helpful in keeping the dieter on the straight and narrow, even in situations such as the supermarket where there is temptation around every corner.
