Most weight loss diets center around portion control, which is just trying to eat smaller amounts of the same addictive foods. This approach inevitably fails.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Dieting by portion control doesn't work because one is constantly fighting addictive drives.
I have tried every diet to lose weight. When you restrict yourself, you're setting yourself up for failure.
A big mistake people make when they are trying to lose weight is that they stop eating. They'll eat salads once a day and then their body starts trying to protect itself and holds onto the fat.
Most diets would have you cutting things out from your diet; they are about denial and discipline.
Cutting back on calories is not the answer to successful weight loss and successful health... you have to increase the quality of what you eat, not just reduce the quantity.
I don't know if those things work, where you do, like, this crash diet or crash starvation. It's just not something I've ever been into.
After working with many nutritionists, reading books, and practicing trial and error on my own body, I have finally found a way to control my weight without deprivation.

When you're trying to lose weight, one of the most important things you can do is eat three decent meals a day so that you're not so hungry that you can't get food off your mind. Habit and hunger have long been the basic, insidious enemies of the overweight. We can't fight hunger, but we can fight habit.

Here's the secret to weight loss: It's all about crowding out, not cutting out.
