<\/p>\nNobody really likes to diet, so why not quit? No, you shouldn\u2019t stop trying to lose weight or live healthier. You should still do those things\u2014you should just do them by changing your lifestyle rather than simply trying to change the way you eat.<\/p>\n
A lifestyle change goes well beyond dieting, which is all about depriving yourself of certain foods out of fear for what they\u2019ll do to your stomach, hips, butt and backs of your arms. Diets are all about numbers\u2014count and consume fewer calories.<\/p>\n
Lifestyle changes don\u2019t worry about the numbers because they\u2019re all about making smart decisions\u2014and being empowered with the knowledge that you are in control, not a label or list of ingredients.<\/p>\n

\nSucceeding in changing your lifestyle doesn\u2019t rely on counting calories. You succeed by deciding to rearrange your goals. Make it a goal to feel better, work out three times a week, eating a piece of candy\u2014and not feeling guilty about it because you know you haven\u2019t suffered a setback, you\u2019ve only done something you wanted to do. And you can go for a little longer walk tomorrow.<\/p>\n
\nYour goal is to lose weight, but the numbers aren\u2019t changing. Maybe instead of looking at the numbers on the scale, you need to look at yourself, your habits and what\u2019s causing you to eat. Find the cause, and the solution follows.<\/p>\n
\nDiets are externally facing exhibitions in futility. You can\u2019t eat what other people are eating\u2014because you\u2019re dieting. But what if you\u2019re not dieting? What if you\u2019re just making smart decisions so you can change your entire lifestyle? It\u2019s easier to say, \u201cNo thanks, I already worked out this morning.\u201d than it is to say, \u201cNo thanks, I\u2019m on a diet.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
