Millions of Americans fail at diets every day.
Experts consistently say there's a 95% failure rate.
Recent statistics indicate that there are 75 Million US adult dieters.
And those dieters will "try" 4 new diets each year on average.
That's a heck of a lot of diets. We try new diets all the time and never lose weight.
Or we lose some weight and gain it back.
And, then we repeat the process over and over and over again.
Yo-yo dieting is akin to a national pastime. And a natural disaster because it would seem like there isn't anything we can do about it.
It Is Not Your Fault
Diet failures are painful. They make you feel like a loser. Like you have no will power. Like you can't do anything right. Sad. Depressed. Hurt.
And those feelings leak into all areas of your life. So it becomes more than just diet failure.
It becomes life failure.
But, honestly, it's not your fault.
And you can do something about it.
You were just never taught how to diet successfully in the first place.
Hardly anyone knows the 2 major reasons for diet failure and how to easily fix them.
The 2 Big Reasons
First, you were never taught about how and why your own nature and natural behavioral style, pace, priorities, and preferences impact your diet success or failure.
Those natural attributes impact everything in your life from the day you're born. They are inborn, innate, and unchangeable. I like to think of them as being tied in with your DNA. They impact, influences, dominate, and determines how you act, react, and interact with everything in your life...including how you should go about dieting, your dieting style preferences, and your dieting success.
Second, there are parts of your brain that consistently sabotage your dieting efforts. You can easily learn to get your whole brain into dieting harmony. But how to do that is a subject for another day.
Your Pace, Preferences, and Priorities
There are 4 basic, well established and researched sets of a combination your Pace (if you like to do things more quickly or more slowly), Preferences (if you are more outgoing and aggressive or more shy and unassuming), and Priorities(if you are more emotionally oriented or are more task and fact oriented).
For over 3,000 years science has been studying how these various factors work together as a result of your nature. Now, we can predict with reasonable certainty how you will behave in any given situation - including dieting.
How You Should Go About Dieting and Losing Weight
The for basic sets of characteristic combine and translate into 3 separate ways you might go about dieting:
Slow & Easy
Fun & Flexible
Disciplined & Patient
Fast & Furious
As you can see just from these descriptive names, the four most common ways you might go about dieting are radically different.
Which sounds most like you?
If you try to diet in ways that don't fit your natural behavioral style, the most likely outcome is dieting failure and more yo-yo dieting.
For example, take the Atkins Diet. Or any popular diet...Jenny Craig, NutriSystem, Zone Diet, Weight Watchers, South Beach Diet, Dukan Diet, Cambridge Diet...it doesn't really matter. They all "work."
If you follow the diet reasonably closely and stick with it long enough, it will work for you. You will lose weight.
They all have real results, followers, and testimonials proving they work.
In general, that is, they all work.
But, specifically, it's up to you to make the diet of your choice work for you. To fit with it comfortably. To be compatible with it. To plug your behavioral style and preferences into it.
The best way to do that is to become aware of and learn as much as you can about your own innate behavioral style including your natural traits, characteristics, and strengths.
And then simply apply them to whatever diet you choose.
In other words, stay true to yourself while following your diet.
Doing so will increase your chances of sticking with your diet long enough to allow it to work for you.
Failing & Succeeding
If you're not true to your natural self and your unique behavioral style while dieting, you're actually fighting against yourself and your diet. You can't win that fight.
It would be like trying to diet left handed if you are naturally right handed. It can be done...but what a struggle! What a lot of work! What a battle! What a lot of frustration, stress, and wasted energy and effort!
You can easily succeed at any legitimate diet if you use the natural strengths and powerful traits your were born with. Combined they make up your natural behavioral style. Instead of fighting against them, use their power for dieting success.
That way you can finally enjoy the dieting experience, weight loss, great looks, lean body, poise, confidence, and great health that may have alluded you until now.
