Someone once taught me: ‘ If you do what you always did,
you ’ ll get what you always got! ’ So my job is to help you to
take the massive and brave leap out of your diet cycle and
4 THE Best DIET
into the brave new world of healthy living. I want to help
you to break that miserable cycle forever.
Here ’ s how it works.
The first thing you need to do is to accept and admit to
yourself that you have been stuck in a diet cycle. That
acceptance and understanding of what ’ s happened in the
past are all you need to be able to break the cycle. The new
awareness gives your brain the information it needs to
start afresh.
So don ’ t waste another second beating yourself up
about dieting miseries from the past. There are no
‘ failures ’ , only lessons you can learn – and then you can
put what you learnt into practice.
WHAT ’ S YOUR DIET CYCLE?
Think about the last time you started a diet that you
abandoned before making the progress you ’ d hoped for,
and work through the list of questions below to help you
unravel what really happened.
I ’ ve given you a selection of answers as a starting point.
Choose the answer that best fi ts your story, or write in your
own if none of the answers is appropriate. There are no
‘ right ’ or ‘ wrong ’ answers here and you can choose as many
answers as you like. This is only to help you understand your
diet cycle. After you ’ ve answered the questions, read on for
suggestions and tips on how to overcome and change your
dieting behaviour forever.
What sort of diet did you choose?
A diet from a magazine
A diet a friend or colleague recommended
I just tried to cut down
I went to a slimming club
I always follow the same diet when I want to lose weight
Other: Write your own reason here
How did you plan for it?
I didn ’ t
I told everyone I was on a diet and warned them not to tempt
me
I fi lled the fridge with diet food
I just played it by ear
I cancelled my social life
Other: Write your own reason here
What did you dislike about the diet?
The food was boring
I was hungry and just thought about food all day
The diet was really confusing so I had to guess what to eat a
lot of the time
It would have been fi ne if I was home all day, but eating out
was a nightmare
I ended up cooking different meals for the rest of the family
