Food / Diet

One third of our population is on a diet and one third of our population is trying to maintain their weight at any one time!

Australians are spending over thirty million dollars each and every year on diets. So why is the waistline of most Australians continuing to spread at an unprecedented rate?

One would have to conclude that diets simply do not work. The main reason diets don't work is because they are a short term solution for a long term problem. The connotation is that if you are going to go on a diet then sometime in the future you are going to come off that diet... usually returning to the unhealthy eating habits that created the weight problem in the first place. So even if you are able to lose weight on your diet, statistics show that almost all of us will gain the weight back and more in a very short period of time.

The answer is not the most recent fad diet or weight loss craze. The answer is realizing that one must develop healthy lifestyles that happen to have the side effect of fat loss. One needs to implement a long term solution a long term problem. Understanding why one has gained all the excess weight in the first place is important but realizing that the answer is not in a diet. The answer is a new healthy lifestyle.

The health benefits are optimal health, increased energy, Mental focus, Lower blood pressure, decreased cholesterol and triglycerides, decreased risk of heart disease and diabetes, and of course, decreased weight. But the most important aspect is the fact that this will be permanent weight loss because one is choosing to continue healthy lifestyles for a lifetime. They will simply become a new way of living.
