Invaluable Dieting Tip

An invaluable dieting tip is one that is naturally sensible. There are many tips for weight loss that don't make any sense. There are other tips that are good, make a lot of sense, but don't work. It’s no mystery that some diets work better than others.



One weight loss key is to try and never use the word ‘diet’ in your vocabulary. Instead say ‘healthy eating’ or ‘eating healthy’. Using the word ‘diet’ can confuse your body and your brain. (Do we really need more confusion?)

Crash Dieting

Yoyo Dieting

To make my point, lets look at some synonyms for the word ‘diet’.They are as follows: abstain, restrict, limit, fast, go without, reduce, starve oneself, calorie count, starvation, slim down, watch weight, tighten belt, reduce.

The list goes on... but yikes! Kind of makes you want to run for the hills, doesn't it?

You get a lot of verbal cues when you hear: dieting tip, dieting, or diet. There is really only one good dieting tip and its called eating healthy and wholesome foods.

It's the best way to lose weight and the most satisfactory to your body and mind if you think of these words instead.

When you deprive your body (and mind) of the foods you love altogether, you will most probably only be more apt to give in and devour those foods in excesses later. That always seems to happen just when you’ve just started to make progress losing weight. You'll may also be tempted to over indulge if you feel like you've done a good job and are entitled to reward yourself. (With something you shouldn't really eat.)

It’s called deprivation and it sucks! You’ll be saying so long to all the effort you’ve made so far, because you have deprived yourself!

Healthy eating doesn’t mean an occasional splurge is bad for you, unless having a few rewards changes your healthy eating plan. Its OK to eat unhealthy foods less often, making healthy foods your choice more often, if you can remember to stick to your plan.

The worst dieting tip is called ‘starvation dieting’ or ‘crash dieting’.

Crash Dieting



People who don’t eat something everyday think they will lose weight by doing so. This is not a good dieting tip and is so far from the truth.

When you deprive your body of food altogether, you tell your body to go into the 'starvation mode'. When you are starving, you body signals your brain to conserve, so it holds on tight to your fat!

If you are starving, your body will fight hard to survive. It'll keep all the fat it can to do so. So please don’t think that you are doing a good thing or that you will lose weight by not eating!

Its actually does quite the opposite! Fat cells are the most targeted cells that free radicals attack. Of course, most people know that free radicals can cause Cancer! The smart thing to do is to get rid of fat cells. You certainly don't want to accumulate them!

Another bad side to starvation is that it truly can lead to Bulimia. Both my sister and my brother were Bulimic. It was unheard of back in the ‘70’s, especially for a guy! But our family knew about Bulimia and Anorexia early on and no one knew how to help them. My brother got over it for the most part, but Bulimia killed my sister.

Although she died in a car accident, the doctors told us that if she had been a healthy weight when the crash occurred, she might have lived through it.

Don’t play dangerous games with your health. God only gives you one body. Your body is supposed to be your temple! Take good care of it and lose weight if you need to, but don't play dangerous games.

Back to List

The other dieting tip that’s super unhealthy is yoyo dieting. It is equally as dangerous as crash dieting!

Yoyo Dieting



People who allow their weight to fluctuate back and forth, from heavy to thin and back again, are also taking a big gamble. This is very unhealthy for you. It would be better to stay a few pounds overweight than to keep going up and down in weight.

We are all unique individuals. What works for your best friend, might not work well for you. Everyone should be the best weight that they can, even if it means being a bit heavy! There are so many things that can play a role in weight gain. You just can’t control all the variables, but you can control you. In fact, you are the master of your domain, so just be the best you can be for you!

Yo yo dieting and weight fluctuations stress your internal organs and send mixed messages to your body. If you are happier when you're holding onto a few extra pounds, it's better and healthier to just remain that way. You will not be doing you or your body any favors trying to be thin, if your genetic makeup won’t allow it. Find a good body weight FOR YOU and stick to it!

We are all different. We are NOT all the same. Each one of us is a unique person, at whatever weight you meant to be!

Back to List

Neither yo yo dieting or starvation dieting are a good dieting tip. Find better weight loss plans or weight loss programs that keep your body running efficiently. You'll also lose weight faster if you follow eat healthy foods and serve healthy meals.
