Dieting - Getting Over The Mental Hurdles
Yogi Berra once said about baseball that “90 percent of the game is half mental” and while nobody knows exactly what goes on in Yogi’s head, I am convinced that most of us struggle more mentally with dieting than physically. If you really want to lose weight fast you need to understand what type of person you are and match the diet you choose to your personality, not the other way around.
Some diets, such as the Atkins diet require a great deal of focus and personal sacrifice and aren’t exactly for the weak minded. The Atkins diet forces your body to go into a state called Ketosis where it burns fat instead of sugar for energy. Typically it takes at least a week of no-carb dieting to get your body there, but it only takes a little bit of sugar to knock you out. So essentially “just a couple cookies” isn’t permitted.
Don’t worry, there are tons of reasonable diets out there, in fact I would recommend all of them because super strict diets like Atkins just aren’t reasonable and essentially they doom almost all of us to fail. Mentally can you go without a slice of cheesecake or a candy bar ever again? I know I don’t know you really well, but I’m gonna have to go with no. Do we really need cheesecake and candy bars? No, not at all, people lived for years without things like that, especially the pre-processed stuff we down these days.
If you really want to stick with a diet, you have to be mentally focused and you really have to WANT to be on a diet. Short of starving yourself your body can handle any diet you throw at it, but if you aren’t 100% behind it you will fail.
