How not to Diet?



Let's talk about this trend we all have come across sometime in our lives - DIETING.
Now, this is something almost every individual be it a newbie or someone holding a bit experience of self body transformation in the past would jump over to share views on especially when it comes to loosing weight.
Are you also one of those who think you need to diet for a month or two or three... to loose weight?

  • Do you think that would be enough to get fit?
  • Is loosing weight equivalent to getting fit? 
  • What according to you is dieting? Isn't what we daily eat is a diet? Be it good OR bad (About which we'll talk later here). 
  • One more question, Can this thing Diet-ing be sustained forever, something that can lead to building a lifestyle? Take any fad diet for example Keto, Paleo etc etc Or you think you need to only diet for a couple of months and then get back to your normal routine? 

These are a few questions I want each one of you to ask yourself before you proceed further. Stop! Think! Then Read Ahead!

Let's understand one simple thing, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS DIETING. 
 

If someone comes up to me asking for a meal plan TO LOOSE WEIGHT, 
> First thing I make him/her clear is to purchase a meal plan TO GET FIT, understand what mistakes one must have done in the past and ways to correct them so as to get the results i.e Getting Fit and not just loosing those pounds. 
> Secondly, I do give a plan but with an aim to make one understand the plan is not to be followed for 2 or 3 months or any other number, that's something to be adopted forever, first working on eating healthy, then sticking to it (developing a habit) and hence building a lifestyle. 

  • SO WHAT IT IS LIKE TO GET IN A MEAL PLAN?                                 Getting to eat complete food, not being exposed to starving or asked to eat tasteless food BECAUSE the focus should be on adopting a sustainable eating pattern.
"Following a meal plan is to follow a right kind of Nutrition or what we call
 the 'Normal Nutrition', that which the body wants.. to stay fit, energetic and disease free, that which the taste buds want.. to enjoy without getting to crave, and that which can be sustained, making it a lifestyle"

Here's something for you all to understand

As depicted above, you're supposed to opt for something that doesn't let you crave for taste, rather, lets you
 enjoy what you eat satiating yourself or in simple terms satisfying your hunger (Keeping you full for a considerable number of hours). 

A RIGHT or NORMAL NUTRITION WILL NEVER ask you to EAT LESS OR DIET, but WILL ASK you to EAT RIGHT. That's how you say DON'T DIET BUT STAY FIT.

Another thing I highlight here..
What you normally eat, Be it Good or Bad -  is a diet, WHATEVER YOU EAT forms a part of your diet, that is what is known as a HEALTHY or an UNHEALTHY DIET of a person.

So, regardless of what, bringing the same point again  You NEED NOT FOLLOW some magic diet to achieve a transformation, but, you surely need to IMPROVE YOUR REGULAR DIET so as to ACHIEVE that transformation SUSTAINING IT LIFELONG.
