The most frequently asked question by many diet-beginners is “Should I go on a diet?”. However, that’s not a “yes” or “no” question. Truthfully, I can’t tell you whether or not you’ll need to go on a diet to lose weight; but by doing a little soul-searching, you can answer this for yourself.
1. What Works? Many people follow set diets to lose weight and some of them keep it off; quite a few others simply follow a “DIY” plan of cutting calories, reducing portions, and making healthier choices. Which way will work for you? You may not know until you try. Some of us need structure in our lives and without a diet to follow, your weight loss plan will not be structured.
2. Are you the “dieting” type? If you know you’re the type of person who not only can tolerate — but actually prefers — to be told what and when to eat, then you’ll probably be better off following a diet than “winging it”. It may take a couple weeks on any given diet for you to find out if it’s for you or not. If you wake up every day dreading what you’re supposed to be eating, then it’s a sign it may not be for you.
3. What to watch out for? If you do decide to follow a set diet, be careful. One that is too restrictive will probably cause you to give up and go back to your old habits. Additionally, if a diet is too strict, it can actually lead to some health problems by cutting calories too low or limiting nutrients. If you have any of the following side effects, you should carefully examine your diet or consult your doctor: irritability, achy muscles, depression, weakness, susceptibility to colds, stomach pains and headaches. Another downside of a diet that cuts calories too low is that you won’t have energy to exercise without meizitang.
4. Why should you never follow a too strict diet? If you follow a diet that is too strict, you may actually end up maintaining or even gaining weight. The body can go into “starvation mode” when calories go too low. Any diet that cuts calories low enough will lead to weight loss, but diets often mean you are expected to no longer eat the foods you’re accustomed to eating. This leads to a sense of deprivation … which results in cravings and binges.
5. What’s the bottom line of a diet? If you find it easier and more “do-able” to be given a meal plan to follow, choose a diet. If you like flexibility and freedom, DIY is for you. Unless you have a small amount of weight to lose or you choose a healthful, doctor-approved diet that will become a lifestyle, you are more likely to lose weight and keep it off if you do it your way rather than the way someone else tells you to do.
