 You need a livable food plan
Dieting doesn't work. Not in the long run. Dieting, as it is often done, puts your body into starvation mode so that it will drop weight quickly. Many people do this for a short period of time thinking they will be motivated by the quick initial loss. The problem is, as soon as you stop starving your body, the weight comes back on even more easily than it did before. This is because you have now taught your body that food may become scarce and it needs to cling to every calorie it receives.
Unless you find a food plan that you can live with for the rest of your life, you are likely to be forever stuck in the yo-yo dieting loop. Not only is this a terribly unhealthy way to live, most people gain more weight each time they yo-yo back up.
Over the years, there have been many strict fad diets that promise rapid weight loss, rapid fat loss and other such things. Most of them work - for a time. They are often medically supervised in order to lend credibility. Sometimes, after a few years of popularity, they make headlines as people begin dying or developing chronic diseases from them. Then we see the ads from the lawyers for the class-action lawsuits.
Yes, you need to eat less in order to lose weight, but starvation levels aren't healthy and they aren't likely to help you achieve your true end goal - keeping the weight off. Are you currently on a diet in which you feel constantly deprived? Do you look forward to the day when you can once again have all the foods you like, or even just enjoy the food you eat? Perhaps it's time to stop dieting and begin a healthy, livable food plan.
