The No Diet Diet: Do Something Different

Scientists have discovered the secret of healthy permanent weight loss — and it's got nothing to do with dieting! People are over-weight because they are imprisoned by their bad habits. What can you do to make a difference — to change your weight and change yor life?

Thinking of going on a diet? If you want to lose weight permanently, it's almost certainly the worst thing you could do; diets are probably the most ineffective means yet devised for losing weight. Around 95 per cent of people who go on a diet end up just as fat, or even fatter, a year later.

Why traditional 'diets' are bad for your health

Mental Health	Physical Health
Dieting creates an unrealistic relationship with food. This means you will give up and regain the weight you lost.	Yo-yo dieting can cause long-term damage to the body's major organs such as the kidneys, heart and liver, as well as to muscle tissue.
Restricting calories lowers your energy levels. This can reduce your cognitive capacity.	Constant dieting reduces the levels of the body's natural killer cells. These are vital for fighting off diseases such as cancer.
Chronic dieting is linked with feelings of depression, low self-esteem and increased stress. Since nobody can stay on a diet permanently, you are setting yourself up to fail.	Dieting can also lead to skin problems, headaches, hair loss, light-headedness, menstrual irregularities, sleepiness, gallstones and constipation.
Believing that being thin will give you more "worth" as a person reflects the attitude that your self-esteem is dependent on your weight. Dieting doesn't solve self esteem problems; it could make them worse.	Going on a diet can starve your body of essential nutrients. It is impossible to stay on a diet permanently without causing some damage to your body.
Dieting disconnects you from your appetite. You don't eat when you are hungry. You then lose the ability to recognize when you are full and should stop eating.	A single episode of sudden weight loss, followed by rapid weight gain, can increase the likelihood of you developing heart disease.

The No Diet Diet shows you how to break your hidden habits so you can effortlessly lose weight without feeling hungry. There are no calories to count or carbs to watch.

How to start The No Diet Diet — the first four days

Day one	Don't watch any television all day. If you're not a TV viewer, cut out the radio instead. How do you use your extra time?
Day two	Write something for 15 minutes. It doesn't have to be War and Peace. The idea is to encourage you to start thinking and dreaming.
Day three	Don't have your favorite drink. It doesn't matter whether it's tea, coffee or a fizzy drink. How does your body react to breaking this habit?
Day four	Go for a 15-minute walk. Think about your life and what you want from it. Notice how walking clears your head? Do you feel re-energised?

Don't worry if you fail; pick yourself up and start again. "Failure should be our teacher, not our undertaker. Failure is delay, not defeat. It is a temporary detour, not a dead end. Failure is something we can avoid only by saying nothing, doing nothing, and being nothing." — Denis Waitley
