How To Make Any Crappy Diet Work

Diet sellers are like all other sellers. They can't afford to sell complete junk to their customers in order to avoid them to raise red flags. Yet, 95% of diets don't work half as well as they should, all the while being sold massively in a growing market context. Is there a rationnal explanation for this paradox? There most certainly is:

- human behavior is modeled by its environment. In societies where communication is king, information can be influenced in a positive or negative way, or simply in a way that promotes commercial interests, more often that not at the detriment of the truth. In today's world, the media promotes products put out by the food industry in spite of their negative impact on public health, and very little is done in favor or nutritional education of the people

- lots of diets tend to be considered temporary adjustments, which obviously results in dieters getting back to their pre-diet state after a while

- in nutrition, just as in any scientific subject, when someone discovers an important factor that positively influences a desired result, they tend to abusively make things look like this factor is dominant, if not the sole one that matters, when the truth is many factors determine a person's level of health and well being

- nutrition and the way our bodies process and assimilate food is linked to many human functions such as emotions, immunity, and the interactions between these various aspects of human physiology are not even close to be fully understood by the scientific community

- although there are clearly principles that apply to all individuals, there are adjustments that need to be made in order for any diet to work for a given person, and this aspect obviously can't be covered by your typical diet blueprint. It has to be researched by individuals themselves, which they rarely do for various reasons such as lack of time or information

- from a diet program seller's point of view, there is no point in selling a very comprehensive dieting course when it is more profitable to slice the information and sell it piece by piece

- people with weight or health problems tend to lean towards easier, simpler methods or programs, which rules out a genuine education on health and well being

- in the same range of ideas, results matter more to most dieters than the healthy nature of the diet in the long run. Most of them are happy with doing the same diet over and over again when they need it, instead of achieving the desired result and maintaining it

- assuming that some diets work better than others (an easily provable fact), whether you want to lose weight or improve your health and well being, dieters are typically people that used to eat so badly before starting a diet that pretty much any method will cause them to go in the desired direction just because their former habits were devastatingly wrong

- diets makers and marketers tend to make it sound like weight and health are based on what you eat when in reality, your global mental state tremendously influences the way one eats, which makes psychology a major factor in health deterioration. To put it simply, it's hard to eat and feel well when living a stressful life with little time for yourself

Although it's not the purpose of this article to go into how to diet successfully, here's my personal take on one smart way to feel better and lose weight altogether:

- if a method is supposed to get you where you want to go within a certain time frame only to let you go back to the same habits that got you in trouble in the first place, then it's probably not a good one. Look for a blueprint for a healthier lifestyle, not transitory adjustments

- try to rely on the ground rules that are common to most popular diets

- important rules from different diets, even though they are specific to these diets, should be combined whenever they don't contradict themselves. When such rules are not in opposition, it would be silly to not combine them and aggregate the benefits

Now for some common sense. Experts, especially when they have something to sell, should be listened to, not obeyed or considered infallible. Why take some expert advice when it is obvious you should:

- avoid MonoSodium Glutamate, aspartame, sodium fluoride, GMO, refined sugar and cereals, fluoride, all substances that are scientifically proven to be very harmful to humans

- eat more fruits and vegetables for better intestinal health

- increase the proportion or organic food you eat

- reduce the average amount of food ingested in one meal, allowing your body to save energy for something other than digestion

- increase the amount of vitamin C in your diet (goji berries are a fantastic source of vit. C), especially in winter and when you are sick

- eat antioxidant rich foods

- get a few minutes of sunlight daily to get vitamin D naturally

- profit from the many benefits of enzymes, antioxidants, vitamins, etc. by eating at least 10% of your food raw (fruits, vegetables, grains, sprouted seeds, etc)

More often that not, looking for a diet that fits your needs and personality is hard and frustrating, which is why you should avoid obsessing over the perfect diet and only worry about it if you don't get a significant improvement by using common knowledge such as the one provided above.
