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. I have listed the top four diet lies below.

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

One of the first questions you want to know the answer to is this and you want to know for sure you will not go hungry. You also know you will be eating less food so how can you not be hungry? And yet diet book after diet book insist that you will not feel hungry on their 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. No diet is possible without a strong will.

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. It will be quite difficult.

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 you have a weight problem now. 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. I hope the truth will help you rather than stop you losing weight. I have done this and I know it is possible for you.
