The Deceptive Diet.

The word deceptive in the dictionary reads, false, fake, bogus, phony and misleading. The word diet is defined as meals, nutrition, foodstuffs etc.
Hundreds of books have been written on how to diet correctly and lose weight. People buy book after book that explain how watching carbs, sugar and salt intake will help. Counting calories and drinking a lot of water are often suggested Diet books may be helpful and yet are they also deceiving because of what they often omit. Few suggest the importance of eating less. It’s too simple and for that you don’t need to buy a book.
The next time your eating at your favorite fast food place look around. Check out the guy with the double cheeseburger and the super order of fries. Look closely, he’s the one with the stomach hanging over his belt, the guy who looks like he’s about to give birth to a watermelon. Now look over at the woman that resembles a water buffalo wearing stretch pants, Her plate is full. She’s got the biggie fries, the biggie drink and the biggest burger on the menu. She doesn’t think she’s eating too much. Why? Because sitting across from her she notices a very slim lady having the same meal. The fat lady thinks to herself, “I don’t eat any more than her and yet I get fat, it’s just not fair.” What the fat woman isn’t willing to do is eat only one big meal a day, like the slim lady does; instead She eats two or three.
The restaurant that features the all you can eat buffet is the home of fat people. I’ve watched those overeaters wearing out a soupspoon trying to get that very last drop. These people have given up trying to lose weight. They are eating themselves to death and deceiving themselves into believing it won’t happen to them.
My deceptive diet plan is for those who want to lose weight. You can be helped. First you must cut back on” how much you eat.” You have been led to believe that if you count carbs, eat the right foods and exercise you’ll lose weight. That may be true but it will take a long time on this strict diet and when you don’t keep it up you eventually fail.
Now comes the deceptive part, you feel good about yourself because you are on a diet. You have carefully eaten just what the diet calls for and still you can’t seem to lose weight. Now it’s time to blame it on your age or my mother was always heavy so it’s in my genes. All very valid reasons except other people are in your same boat and they diet and lose weight. What are they doing that you’re not? They have simply accepted as fact that if you want to lose weight, it’s not as much what you’re eating as how much.
Quit worrying about calories and carbs and start paying attention to how much food and drink you’re putting away each day. There is one sure way to lose weight,

Don’t Eat So Much Dummy!
