Dieting is Between the Ears
It’s estimated that 20% of Americans are on a diet during any given week. We spend millions of dollars to lose weight yet about 95% of us regain it in one to five years. There are so many programs, tools, diets and pills, not to mention infomercials and latest tabloids of Hollywood stars who've gained or lost, publicly applauded or humiliated depending on which way the scale tipped.
And we've finally come around to the notion that diets don't work -- or do they?
We used to think it was simply a matter of calories in vs. calories out, and if you get the equation right, you’ll lose weight. But for true, long-term success, there has to be an ongoing commitment to changing how we relate to food, stress and lifestyle.
In the world of weight management, it’s not necessarily this diet or that diet, nor is it a one-size-fits-all (pardon the expression) solution. When you grasp understanding of your own behavioral style, you can find a program and way of eating that’s best suited for you. The goal here is to empower you with new knowledge of self, discover factors that influence your behavior, and commit to a lifelong, sustainable way of eating and exercising.
