The most confidential facts about yo-yo dieting

By Robert | October 10, 2008

The most confidential facts about dieting will not appear on food labels, or within a diet plan. You may only discover these on the television during some reporter’s expose on the diet industry. However, the truth about dieting can be found.

One of the most confidential facts about dieting is that the diet industry has only one thing foremost in their minds, and that is to sell you books, food, exercise equipment or whole programs. If you lose weight that is secondary, and in fact, if you don’t lose weight it works in their favor because you will then either buy more of the same products or try another weight loss plan or product.

How many people have exercise equipment hidden in the back of their closets, unused, inaccessible? How much money did they pay for this? How many people have dozens of books sitting unread on the bookshelf? How many of your dieting gimmicks have you purchased only to toss them aside? That is where the dieting companies make their money. In the purchasing of these peripheral items that you do not need.

Instead of buying fraudlent diets, People who wish to shed a few or more pounds would do better to spend that money on a couple of visits to their doctor and on some high quality food. Keeping a balanced diet is so much better for the body. Food should be a fuel. It needs variety and balance in order to keep the body working properly. For example, you can prevent disease by keeping your body’s pH balance right, about 7.4 on a scale of 14. It is proven that too low a pH can cause growth of bacteria. It is better to be too high, towards the alkaline side instead of the acid side, for health. As you my not be aware, the alkaline foods are on all of the healthy diet plans. These healthy diet plans are the ones that include, nuts, fresh vegatables, fruits and grains, fish, meat, and of course dairy products. Sugary foods take one the wrong way on the pH scale, and can not only cause diseases, but interfere with metabolism and weight control.

The constant yo-yo weight loss and gain that is so prevalent with serial dieting, is not healthy. You only lose money trying all these “plans”. Celebrities and marketing efforts, books, plans, and schemes will never replace a solid balanced diet. You actually can eat more by eating correctly. And it will be less expensive in the long run. No more fads or gimmicks, live longer and healthier. Spend your diet money on sensible food, eat normal portions, and look closely at what is a healthy weight for you, and not a too skinny “Hollywood” figure! These are the most confidential facts about dieting that you will not find on a label or in a diet book or fad plan.
