How many times have you looked at those well shaped women on the beach and wondered what their fast weight loss secret is? You look at them and think that you will never be able to get your body in such a shape as theirs. Looking at other fit women puts the pressure on most of us to get in shape and lose weight as fast as possible.
I for one discovered that using weight loss diets is not always the right answer that will work for every type of women out there. One of the biggest problem with diets is that they could make us eat a lot more than women who don't use diets at all. This happens because when we are on a diet we don't eat when we want to, but evaluate if this food is good for us or not. The chocolate cake we are craving and not eating because our diet says so will build up emotional frustration and will make life miserable on a daily basis whenever we see the foods we love. Abstaining from the foods we love in order to achieve fast weight loss, will work for some women, but not for all.
See, when you significantly reduce the amount of food you eat, the brain sends impulses through the nervous system as if the body is starving. Your metabolism will slow and your organism will digest the food slower in order to survive starvation. This will create strong desires to eat food which will cause you anxiety. With this kind of pressure, depending on the person, you could lose self control and indulge in binge eating. The problem with this is that your body burns food slower now due to decreased metabolism. When you lose self control, which is very likely for most women on diets, instead of fast weight loss you will gain weight. Saying all that, I recognize that diets work miracles for some type of women, and yet for others they destroy their health.
