Announce to the world that you want to lose weight and you will attract more advice than you’ve bargained for, but how much of it is of any use? Friends will always pass on their experience, which is helpful, but too much advice can lead to confusion.
There is always the diet of the moment. Someone is bound to have tried it. Have you noticed that people who recommend things often say things are good when in fact they are not? It’s not that they want to do you any harm or to mislead you: mostly they want to justify their decision to themselves.
Stay quiet. Don’t say a word about wanting to lose weight and your life will remain normal and controllable. Mention the fact that you’re going to lose weight and you will be asking for a very pressured life – not what you want when you are going have to jump through several uncomfortable hoops.
The best thing to do is to keep very quiet about your plans. Don’t tell a soul. Just get on with the task of finding the best plan you can.
What are you going to do? The best advice you will ever get, but probably not from your dieting friends, is ‘don’t go on a diet’! This is the best tip of all.
Diets are the traditional way of losing weight. The diet industry is worth over $61 billion. That’s a lot of money, so presumably diets must work? The fact is that diets deliver short-term weight loss. 95% of people who go on diets never achieve what all dieters want – permanent weight loss.
If you want to lose weight – permanently, you have to make change. How do you do that? By getting rid of the habits that make you fat and by learning new slim habits.
The process of learning new slim habits is essential if you are going to lose weight permanently. Making change by learning new slim habits that will help you to change your eating and lifestyle habits will ensure that you can lose weight and for it not to return. It doesn’t get any better than that!

We stopped using the word diet and instead altered our lifestyle. We started to enjoy more fun filled activities from walking to biking. We found fun recipes that were low fat but tasted great. And we found more friends who thought alike so now instead of beer and chip parties we have cycling picnics get-togethers:-)
