[ad_1]

Are you dieting but not losing the weight that you though you would? And you are not sure why. You have been trying to eat correctly; you have followed all the experts and the diet gurus. You have even taken on some moderate exercise to help you to lose the weight but some how you are still struggling at the scale. You are beginning to think that you need to go out and get a new scale because the one you have is just not working properly.

The truth is even though you might be on a diet and thinking that you are doing all the right things you might just be doing all the wrong things that might be sabotaging your weight loss. Many experts agree that once you decide to go on a diet your body decided that it want to go on a food binging food eating marathon. There is a great misconception about what you think you should and should not be eating and what you really should and should not be eating.

Most times you will not really get the whole truth about what food you should load up on and what foods you should avoid like the plague. One of the biggest mistakes you make when you are on a diet is to think "I am on a diet so I can not eat this".

Just by telling your brain that you are on a diet and you can not eat certain foods sets on an emotional rebellion and you soon realize that you have a craving for foods that you never craved before. Not only do you have a crave but now you have become obsessed with food and all you can think about is food. Your mother's favorite dish that only she makes so well.

Aunt Sally's famous cheesecake with that great topping and you just can not get that picture out of your head. But that is not the worst of this saga; if you close your eyes you can almost taste that delectable food in your mouth. You are now fully obsessed with food.

You are now in a heighten food craving and now you can reason with your self why you should not be on a diet and tell yourself that these diets do not work anyway. Once you do this then you are on your way to quitting your diet plan.

The resolution to this thinking about going on a diet is that you never go on a diet; you have just decided to stop eating certain foods. You are always in control of going back to eat them, you have just chosen not to eat them.

If you notice that you start craving a particular food, go ahead and have some of it but do so after you have eaten and almost full. This will cause you to eat less of your obsessed food and even though it might taste great you will not have much room for it so you will not be able to eat much of it.
