Hi all
Was just thinking over all the things that anti VLCD's say that annoy me!
All of which are uneducated opinions
1. " You will just pile all the weight back on once you eat normal food!"
not true!! If you control your eating you wont pile on the lbs!!! Go back to the way you used to eat, and yes, of course you will pile on the lbs, but thats true of ANY diet!
2. "Thats SO unhealthy!!!
Being OBESE is unhealthy!, whats so unhealthy about having all the nutrition your body needs? And in the process losing weight, becoming fitter and MUCH more healthy??
3. "That diet is just not NATURAL!!"
Not natural?? Ketosis is a natural state for your body to go into! Thats why we have fat stores, to use them up for energy when required, whats NOT natural about that??
4. "Losing weight more slowly means you are more likely to keep it off!"
Understanding why you gained the weight in the 1st place, understanding your triggers and learning to have a more positive mind frame and recognising your emotional hungers is more likely to help you keep the weight off for good!
5. "youre fine the way you are!!"
If i was FINE i would not be OBESE! If i was FINE i would not be miserable!!
6. " Just exercise more and eat less, you DONT need anything else"
You think i DONT know that??? Its obviously something i cant "just do"! I need to understand why i behave the way i do and need to learn positive ways to turn that round!
Anyone agree with me??
If you have any to add then please do
