When you decide to go on a weight loss diet you expect to get help and support to do well. I have been dieting all my adult life and having finally succeeded this year I now know that most of the diet schemes and gurus are telling lies. These are the most common lies they tell you about diets.

Weight loss lie #1. You will not be hungry on this diet.

You so want to believe this when you start on a diet because you know you will be hungry. Common sense will tell you that because you are eating less you will get hungry? All the famous and not so famous diet books insist that you will not go hungry on their particular diet. You will not be stuffing your stomach with food all day like you normally do so it means you will be hungry.

Weight loss lie #2. You need to focus and concentrate to succeed on any diet.

No diet is ever that easy to work through. The strict dieting requires iron willpower and complete commitment. This is a battle for your mind and your addiction to overeating. You will find it hard.

Weight loss lie #3. You can eat what you like and no one will know you are on a diet.

You most definitely cannot eat what you like. That’s what got you into this mess in the first place. You will not be eating all your favourite foods while you are on the diet. You will be eating things you are not used to and may not enjoy very much. But by doing this you will lose weight

Weight loss lie 4. You will find it easy to keep the weight off when you finish.     

You will find it very difficult to keep the weight off and will have to plan your strategy for keeping slim at the end of your diet. It will not just happen.

I hope this dose of reality doesn’t make you too miserable about your diet. My intention is to help you lose weight. I have done this and I know it is possible for you.
