Summer time’s almost here. It’s the time of year when women start thinking about losing weight and fitting into those summer shorts. If you’re a gal struggling to decide whether to go on the next new diet or to get off the diet roller coaster once and for all, this article may help you to make that decision.

These are the reasons why a diet may be the answer for you:

  • You just have a few pounds to lose and food is not a big deal for you
  • You don’t mind a restricted eating plan or being told what to eat
  • You thrive on being precise, journalling and structure
  • You do not eat to feed your emotions
  • You’re not tempted by or disturbed by having to eliminate ‘forbidden’ foods
  • You have a positive self image

Here are the cons of why dieting is not for you:

  • You’ve been overweight for decades and food is very important to you
  • You refuse to be told what to eat. You want to eat real foods
  • You want to learn to trust yourself around all foods
  • You have been suffering with a fat or ugly self image
  • You want to stop putting so much effort in dieting
  • You want to heal your relationship with food permanently

Conclusion: If you are a woman who is struggling with emotional eating and has spent years bouncing from diet to binge, then dieting is not for you. Diets trigger feelings of deprivation in the brain and that causes many women to sabotage their dieting efforts, give in to cravings and eat out of control. If you are looking for a solution, then you owe it to yourself to discover the path of Intuitive Eating. It’s a natural method of weight loss that eliminates the pain of deprivation of dieting. No more diets! On the other hand, if you realize that diets hold the key for you, then get started. Summer is just around the corner!
