Have You Become Diet-Trapped?

Did you know that more Americans would prefer to shed 10 to 20 pounds this summer than get
promoted at work? And nearly 50% of women would give up sex if it meant not gaining 10
pounds?^34 It should come as no surprise then that Americans spend $33 billion on weight-loss
products^35 —everything from fad diets to books to exercise equipment to supplements—in the
pursuit of a thinner, fitter body. However, only about 5% of dieters manage to keep the weight off in
the long run.

The most common way people lose weight is through weight-loss-only dieting. Weight-loss-only
diets run the spectrum from manipulating calories, eating less and depriving your body of healthy
fats and carbohydrates, to promoting unhealthy high-fat, low-carb, high-animal protein foods. This
practice of proactively eating fewer calories than you need, while eating nutrient-poor foods, only
serves to make you feel deprived (and actually be deprived of healthful nutrients), while avoiding
the real issues that drive you to overeat and become overweight in the first place.

It's no wonder people experience losing weight is hard!

According to a 2010 survey, almost all dieters (93%) find at least one aspect of their dieting plan to
be a major challenge. The majority (71%) said they aren’t able to control their cravings and find
portion size is an obstacle to their success (64%).^17 Most people believe that struggle is necessary
to lose weight.
