Why Diets Fail
Everyone Knows That Diets Fail
One of the main reasons Why Diets Fail is because the majority of people see them as a short term intervention. Those on a diet where their food intake is reduced, low calorie, low fat as an example, for some reason believe that following the period of food restriction they will lose the desired amount of weight, and then everything will be fine. To be honest the majority of people have never had it explained to them that long term success is based on them undertaking a permanent lifestyle change.
People Need Help
Research has continually shown that people that are overweight or obese receive numerous instructions, from friends, family or medical professionals about the various diets available. They are often told what to do to address their weight, but very few are given appropriate long term guidance or support to help them complete the desired course. The research also confirmed that people still experiment with ‘quick fix’ strategies in their ongoing and often life-long, struggle to lose weight. Ongoing support was shown to be a factor in weight loss success.
It’s a Lifestyle Change
For any weight loss journey to have even a chance of success, it must be viewed as a long-term lifestyle change. The changes you introduce into your life must always be sustainable. They must fit in with the way you live your life, and if not, your determination to succeed will just evaporate. In any medical training students are taught a golden rule, which they live by; Always Treat the Cause never the Symptom. To restrict someones food input via a diet or surgical intervention, is treating the Symptom, it can never, ever work.
Post-Diet Weight Gain
The inevitable post-diet weight gain is easily explained. Your body struggles with balancing blood glucose levels after withdrawal from sugar and carbohydrates. It has a big effect on your levels of haemoglobin A1c. Just like a cocaine addict, you will continue to crave sugar and maybe junk foods too. It does not matter that you are no longer eating them, because the level of addiction to sugar is literally off the scale. On this website you can read a blog posting dedicated to the addictive properties of Sugar, Fat and Salt. Why diets Fail.
Why Diets Fail
Five reasons why your diet may be challenging
1) You are stressed – Stress causes many problems with hormones, including hunger hormone ghrelin, which directs us to carbohydrate heavy foods. To succeed you need to be in a ‘Good Place’, getting plenty of rest, and living as stress-free a life as possible.
2) Your diet is too restrictive – Chances are that if you’re not enjoying what you’re eating, you’re not going to be able to sustain your diet over the long-term. There will always be celebrations and the accompanying dinner parties, along with the alcohol that often comes at the same time. Be realistic in your approach, and make sure it is flexible.
3) You don’t have the right Mindset – It’s almost impossible to maintain a diet while you are constantly thinking about all the forbidden foods in the cupboard. If you find yourself day-dreaming about bingeing on all the foods you’ve been depriving yourself of, your thoughts will eventually take control.
4) Others are undoing your hard work – When friends continually ask why you aren’t eating, or tempt you by continually inviting you to different restaurants or bars, it can be difficult to stay on track. (We call these people diet Terrorists)
5) You have set yourself up for failure – by committing to an unrealistic goal. It is almost impossible to achieve a regular weight loss of more than two pounds per week. Sure, in the first week or two you may lose a little more, but down the line it will level out. Because it always does. So, be realistic and honest with yourself.
Why Diets Fail
Diets Fail: It’s A Fact.
It is a sad fact, but diets do fail, most of the time. It is said that over 90 per cent of people who start a diet will fail to reach their goal weight and, after twelve months, most will end up weighing more than when they started. The word Diet, of course, at a psychological level, equates to the word Deprivation. The problem is that the same word Deprivation goes on to be interpreted as an Elevated Level of Desire.
It is almost like the perfect storm, a Tsunami. With the best intentions, you elect to go on a diet, which by default leads you to an ever-growing feeling of deprivation. This ensures that you will experience an ever-increasing sensation of desire, either consciously, or unconsciously. So, as an example, your craving for chocolate, that you choose to give up whilst you are on your diet, will persist, until eventually it will be overwhelming.
Why Diets Fail
Diets, of one type or another, or approaches forcing people to live on liquid shakes etc, have all been around for decades. So, what has happened over the last few decades, following the introduction of these new state of the art diets? Obesity is reducing, right? On the contrary, the World Health Organisation states on their website that in the last thirty years obesity has in fact trebled! So, the new science-based diets never really worked. In fact the problem is getting worse on a global scale.
Diets were big in the 1970s
Dieting was “the in thing” in the 60s or 70s. But this is 2022. So, things have moved on, and there is another way. You see obesity is in fact a psychological problem, not a physical one. The vast majority of people who are overweight will tell you, when asked, that the reason they eat outside of their meals is because they are bored, sad, lonely, depressed, tired, to reward themselves or maybe just to please someone else.
So ask yourself, if a person is overweight because they are eating to overcome depression, how will depriving them of chocolate fix that? In fact it’s possible that it may make them even more depressed…

Top Weight Loss Tips
Tip No. 1 – Only Eat When You’re Hungry!
This has to be our number one, golden rule, when it comes to achieving successful weight loss. In our experience, most overweight people eat for many different reasons, other than physical hunger. But, if you allow your emotions to control your eating habits, then it is unlikely that you will be able to control your weight as a result. So, before you reach for anything to eat, stop and ask yourself first if you physically NEED to eat, or you just WANT to…
Tip No. 2 – Use a Smaller Plate!
You’ve probably heard this many times before, but it’s a fact that people who use larger plates tend to eat more food than those who eat from smaller plates. Remember the famous Delboeuf optical illusion, because a small portion of food looks more generous when served on a smaller size plate. If you stick to our mantra, “always go for quality over quantity”, then you will definitely lose weight much more easily.
Tip No. 3 – Drink a Glass or Two of Water Before Your Meal!
Reduce Your Calorie Intake by over 20%, with almost with no effort! Research results, published by Harvard Medical showed that people who drank two large glasses of water, just before eating, consumed, on average, around 20% less food than previously. This is possibly as a result of the stretching and fullness sensation in the stomach.
Tip No. 4 – Eat Slowly and Mindfully!
A growing number of studies have consistently found a correlation between speed of eating and weight, so it is officially accepted now that faster eaters are definitely more likely to become overweight. Studies have also shown that people are much more likely to eat more when their eating is mindless, as opposed to mindful. So, make meal times an occasion by sitting down at a table, with no distractions. Then eat slowly and savour every mouthful. You will naturally eat less food and also find it easier to lose weight as a result!
Tip No. 5 – Stay Away From Sugar and Highly Processed Foods!
It’s a fact that sugar and highly processed foods have addictive properties! So much so, that many people find that once they start eating these foods, they literally can’t stop. And, of course, if you’re making such poor food choices, this in turn will make it almost impossible for you to lose weight. So, our advice is to choose healthy, unprocessed foods and limit the amount of sugar you consume. As a result, you will have far more control over how much you eat and also how much weight you can lose.
Tip No. 6 – Eat Your Favourite Foods on the Plate First!
You may not be aware of how important this tip is, but the order in which you eat your food can actually have a big impact on how much you consume! It’s quite common for overweight people to “save the best til last” when eating. In other words they only eat their favourite food right at the end. It’s not so surprising then, that they also tend to eat everything on their plate, regardless of how uncomfortably full they feel. Because, of course, they don’t want to miss out on the “best bit”! However, our advice is to eat your favourite things first. Not only will you enjoy it more, but it’s also much easier to stop when you’ve eaten just the right amount and leave the rest on the plate.

Overweight People are not Lazy
Being overweight, having an unhealthy relationship with food, is predominantly a psychological issue. So, it’s a learned behaviour, because people are not born obese. But people are rarely overweight because they are lazy, or lacking in willpower; the issue goes much deeper. As a result, they simply need a ‘Psychological Reset.’ Alison, photo below, lost 70 pounds with Martin and Marion’s treatment.

Many clients tell us that they can’t remember the last time they ate in response to real, physical hunger. And so, we will ask you: “Do you eat when you are bored, stressed, tired, lonely, depressed, sad, to reward yourself, or maybe just to please someone else?” Then we will help you to change your mindset around food. You can experience the new, fully downloadable, weight loss treatment today. Hello Magazine featured Martin and Marion’s work.
We will help you
We will also help you to make simple changes in your other thought processes… How much better could your relationship with food be, if we taught your subconscious mind how to effortlessly replace the word “want” with the word “need”? For example, instead of hearing the waiter asking: “Do you want fries with that?” without thinking you process the question as: “Do you need fries with that?” You can watch a short animated video explaining Want and Need at the bottom of this page.
