Deborah - Thoughts on Dieting

Well, when we choose to go on diets (no matter what kind of diet it is, simple calorie counting, the Dukan diet, joining a Weight-Watchers club, the Atkins or only drinking hot water and molasses and cayenne pepper) we have mixed feelings. There is some relief that we’re finally doing something about losing the weight we’ve been worrying about. There is excitement at the thought of losing weight. But there is also fear that the diet plan may not work and all our efforts will be for nothing. Or that we will not be able to stick it out until the end. Finally, there is dread or even sadness, at the thought of not being able to enjoy the foods, treats and snacks we’re used to eating and comforting ourselves with.


Most people will take these separate emotions (relief, excitement, fear, dread and sadness) and decide whether or not they are looking forward (or not) to being on their diet and what this experience will be like.

I’ve always, from the first post on this Dukan diet dairy to this post, maintained that if your diet solution is making you miserable, or if your weight suddenly isn’t the most important thing in your life, then make a change. I’ve met enough wonderful and beautiful people who are, what our Society calls, overweight, whom I’ve respected and valued that I know for sure that size and shape matters little when it comes to assessing a person’s worth. I’ve also met people for whom their weight and shape makes them miserable and they want to change.

For the people who want to change… and only to them and for the sole reason that they want to change, I recommend the Dukan diet. Why? Because, it is the quickest, easiest and most life-changing weight loss solution I have ever experienced.
