Q&A: How to stop yoyo dieting?

Are you struggling with yoyo dieting? Perhaps you have experienced some diet fails?


The answer of how to stop yoyo dieting might surprise you. In short, the answer is to stop dieting. BUT I know that if you are reading this then you probably want to lose weight, so let me explain how you can lose weight without dieting.


When you diet, you are generally trying to restrict foods and/or quantities to try and lose weight. However, there are two key things that happen as a result.


Firstly, when you restrict a certain food, you are putting it up on a pedestal. It's the old saying of don't think of an elephant. What are you thinking of now? Exactly! 🐘🐘🐘

The same thing happens when you try not to think of something like chocolate. The more you restrict it and not allow it, the more the chocolate is put up on a pedestal as something even more desirable.


Secondly, when you restrict calories and quantities of foods, our reptilian survival brain reacts to a perceived famine, similar to many other famines that it has evolved over thousands of years to survive, and does things like make you more hungry and slow your metabolism. Inevitably when you run out of willpower on a diet, not only might you overeat because you are so hungry, but you will also have a slowed metabolism and put on weight. This can also be a cause of binge eating.


So the answer of how to lose weight without dieting is to allow all foods and learn how to not eat so much by listening to your natural hunger and full signals. It's how I have easily lost over 20kg.
