Question

Under Approaches to the weight, we have pros and cons. One thing we all agree on is ”Diet don't work” What do you think that Is the case?

Answer 1

Diet doesn't work in the long run. The majority of the people who lose weight through dieting regain it in 2-4 years. Restricting oneself from eating may cause an urge to eat on some occasions which may result in overeating which is bad. A circle of restrictive dieting where we restrict eating some foods and only consume other foods for their protein or carbs value may lead to overindulgence in the foods we previously restricted to follow a diet plan. This creates a cycle of losing weight and gaining again through overeating and losing control of the diet plan.

Intuitive eating is a method that encourages individuals to notice the hunger cues i.e the signals sent by the body when it has a requirement of food. In this method, a person should eat as much as they want without any guilt but should know when they are full. Nourishment for the body comes first, so eating to meet the nutritional needs is a must.

Healthy, Clean eating also helps in maintaining body weight. Adding green vegetables and switching to seafood instead of red meat can also regulate the body weight and maintain healthy bowel movement which leads to better digestion and absorption of food.
