How to Survive Your Diet

Are you sick of dieting? Do you want to lose weight sanely? Or perhaps you'd like to quit trying to lose weight and find self-acceptance. This book is for you.

Experts tell us that as we get older, we need less sleep. But have you considered that we need less food, too? We stop
growing, our metabolisms slow down, and our calorie requirements drop a bit.

Yet we continue to eat the large portions we needed while growing, and over time our portions become ever larger. The good news is that our appetites decrease in accordance with our decreased need for food.

But why is it so difficult, then, to reduce our portions? There are a number of reasons:

1. The culture dictates large portions

2. Our families think we're not healthy if we're not eating a lot

3. The cook is insulted if we don't eat a lot and clean our plates

4. Restaurants serve gigantic portions.

These are just some of the reasons. Others include our lack of awareness that our portion demands are growing, and diets which omit a food group which force our bodies to seek larger portions in an endless attempt to find small amounts of the forbidden component in the foods we permit ourselves to eat.

But worse than all of that is the emotional eating and stress eating. For many of us, food has become a substance that we abuse. How to Survive Your Diet and Conquer Your Food Issues Forever addresses all of these forces which influence how many calories we end up consuming in a day. 

If you're tired of your dieting life, join the growing number of disgruntled dietesr. With a little diligence and introspection, portion control is attainable without any kind of food plan.

Let Linda Moran show you why diets often make matters worse rather
than better, and how you can approach food with a new way of thinking.
