DEL.ICIO.USAre you a Monday morning dieter?
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Monday morning wake up calls are hard enough to deal with - you’re on a diet too?
Makes sense that after a big weekend of throwing calorie caution to the wind and eating and drinking whatever you want that nearly half of us choose to start a new diet on Mondays.
According to a recent study conducted by Brian Wansink, PhD, Director of Cornell University’s Food and Brand Lab 46% of people surveyed said their last attempt to launch a weight-loss plan started on a Monday morning.
So, how long do these good diet intentions last?
For 31 percent of people, the miserable experience is over by Tuesday evening.
Do we try to change too much too fast? What’s the problem here?

Read about Michael Tabb’s Red Rock Global and The Real Chow Baby Restaurant, this is not healthy eating. Do you really want this firm advising Atlanta Public Schools. Read how they ripped off the poor in Miami FL. Should we patronize this restaurant!

I’ve lost a considerable amount of weight after years of trial and error by making changes that work for me.
I learned that there are certain foods that I just cannot eat. It either sends me on a downward spiral or they make me feel like crap. Moderation might work for some people, but not me.
There is no simple answer and no magic pill. I choose (key word!) to not eat certain foods and have also learned to find alternatives when I’m having a craving for something in particular.
If you need to just lose a few pounds, then maybe a more short-term aggressive approach for a special event might work. But otherwise, you need to step back and look at the big picture. If you feel like you’re depriving yourself and don’t feel good, you’re destined to fail. It’s not just about dropping a few lbs on the scale. It’s about health.
