Each time you begin a new diet you travel a little furtherdown the road. Type 2 diabetes is just a small detour from obesity. To get offthat road you need to eliminate diets for good.   Until five years ago, I wasas guilty of dieting as anyone else.   I ama persistent person and I kept deluding myself that I had what it took to keepthe weight off.   My weight problem started inthe early 80’s. My thyroid had become damaged during some surgery that had gonewrong and for the first time, I began to gain weight. The doctor referred me toa dietician for professional help.   Normally I would have spenta few weeks in the gym and worked it off. But these were new, modern times, inthe beginning of the eighties, when a dietician was a new kind of expert whocould help us learn the right foods to eat and how to correctly regulate ourweight.   So I was put on my veryfirst diet ever. It was the two third carbohydrate diet also known as the Pyramid.It was the very latest in food technology. Like millions of other people, Inever lost a pound.   Instead I graduallyrealized, with horror, that I had become addicted to bread.   I have since learned thatwhen you deprive your body of food, by dieting, your brain sends a message toyour metabolism to slow down your energy and begin to prepare for famine. That meansit will turn all the carbohydrates you eat into fat to be stored on your body.That is to sustain you through the famine. It is why the weight returns soquickly the moment you stop dieting. Your body is never going to know that youcause the famines yourself.   There is an even moreunwelcomed dimension to this problem.   You see, between your diets, as your body begins to put the weight backon, your metabolism will begin to adjust what it accepts as your normal weight.   After a diet this will be a higherweight than previously. That is because your unpredictable food shortages havealerted your brain to the likely threat of future famine.   When you decide to diet again, your new ‘normal’ weight willmake it very difficult to get it back down to where it used to be. Even if youmanage such an incredible effort, you will still put the weight back on and youwill still get that extra bonus weight that comes after each diet. In addition,there is a good chance that after such a prolonged period of dieting, yourmetabolism will be forced to raise the bar again with a further adjustment toyour ‘normal’ weight.   Do you begin to see the problem? If you keep dieting, obesity isinevitable?   Once you understand that,you will realize how important it is to step in with the right method to controlyour weight, and reverse this horrible cycle of endless failed diets. Personally,I was close to giving up when I decided to go my own way. I decided to trustmyself and forget about the ‘experts.’ I had met several of them and I knew theywere not that smart.   So I did my own research. I then drew on my knowledge andexperience and I found a solution. What I developed is not like anyone else’sidea of a diet, in fact it is a ‘no diet’ diet.   I do not count calories I eat as much as I want. I never feelbloated and my weight has not varied in five years. What you may also like tohear is that during the same period, I have been more energetic than everbefore.   I have this great wish that everyone who has a weight problem willget the real facts and stop the diet merry-go-round. A good start is to vownever to reduce your calories below what is normal to your body.   Then learn how a small change in lifestylewill reset your metabolism and get your weight back to what it should be. Itmeans you completely eliminate diets for good.   http://www.my-own-plan.com/cap/index4.html   Kirsten Plotkin Author
