As well as Jennifer Bowden’s columns in the NZ listener, Hörer.co.nz Subscribers can access their fourteenth day myth-buster column, which examines myths of food and nutrition. Here she examines how fashion diets can disguise themselves as plans for healthy eating.
Fashion diets are everywhere and offer quick solutions and brave promises
Change your body and your life. And how our awareness of the physical and psychological damage of diets grows, the efforts of the creators, fashion diets as “healthy nutritional plans” or “changes in lifestyle” also have to disguise.
The separation of facts from fiction is crucial, since not only long-term diets for 95% of dieters fail, but can also be spectacularly backward to the rear by leading a slow metabolic rate, increased storage of the body fat and the appetite, which is attributed to the fixation of food, to excessive food, weight and a bundle-load unnecessary shame for food food.
So how can you determine whether a plan for healthy eating is really a sustainable plan or just another fleeting, exhibited diet that is disguised? By concentrating on the principles of intuitive food and health at any size (Haes) movement (HAES), we can recognize the red flags. Here are nine warning signs that you should pay attention to:
1. Promise of fast weight loss
Fashion diets often lead with claims such as “Lose 10 kg in 10 days!”. That sounds appealing, but weight loss does not automatically correspond to better health. In fact, a quick weight loss is usually not sustainable and can affect your health. The actual healthy diet focuses on nourishing your body in the long term without resolving quick results or numbers on a scale.
2. Eliminates entire food groups
Does the diet cut out all carbohydrates, fats or certain foods? FAD diets often demonize entire food groups, which can lead to nutritional deficits and disrupted eating patterns. A healthy approach encompasses variety and honors your taste prices and ensures that you eat a nutritional, pleasant variety of foods without unnecessary restrictions.
3. Promotes a one-size approach
Fashion diets claim to work for everyone and to ignore individual differences such as illnesses, lifestyle or personal preferences. However, it is possible that an approach for a vegetarian works with a seated office job And For example, a meat -loving, physically active master builder? The answer is no. Real healthy diet acknowledges that a person’s approach may not work for another. Instead, it encourages you to listen to your body and to eat your special needs.
4. Described food as “good” or “bad”
The judgment is a trademark for fashion diets in which certain foods are slandered and others are praised. This moralization of food creates unnecessary feelings of guilt and shame to eat. Healthy eating promotes a neutral relationship with food by realizing that all foods fit into a balanced diet.
5. Lean on extreme calorie restrictions
“Eat 1000 calories a day and watch how the weight drops!” Many of today’s fashion times contain an extreme calorie restriction that is physically and mentally not sustainable and often leads to fatigue, irritability and even metabolic damage. In contrast, healthy eating plans prioritize to give your body enough energy to work well and support your daily activities.
6. Promotes expensive additions or products
Many fashion diets require the dieters to buy expensive meals replacement shakes, nutritional supplements or powder. These are often unnecessary and sometimes even harmful. In contrast, a healthy diet includes the food of whole foods, which are easily accessible.
7. Ignorates internal hunger and abundance
Fashion diets prescribe exactly what, when and how much to eat and effectively ignores how your body feels. While a healthy diet, which is rooted in intuitive eating principles, encourages you to trust your inner physical information – eat when you are hungry, keep up when you are full and choose food that satisfy your body and mind.
8. Success is measured by weight loss
FAD diets usually measure success due to weight loss. However, body weight is not a precise measure of health, since our mental, emotional and spiritual well -being, energy level, sleep quality and relationship with food also influence our general health.
9. Disproves flexibility or social food
Fashion diets often have rigid rules that make food stressful with friends or family. Whether it is a question of avoiding certain dishes on the grill or feeling guilty when you enjoy a dessert, these diets are isolating. Healthy eating promotes flexibility and joy in terms of food and enables you to join social events and share meals without stress.
Healthy nutrition is not about rigid rules, guilt or quick corrections. It’s about building a healthy relationship with Food, the information from your body and supports your general well -being. If a dining plan does not feed your body and mind, you can control it clearly. Instead, find a healthy lifestyle that works for you.
