If you struggle with weight no matter which diet you try, this might help you understand why.
When working with women to overcome their cravings – hormonal stabilization provided through reducing carbohydrate consumption is crucial.
This study proves exactly what I, and hundreds of my clients have experienced. Reducing carbohydrates reduces cravings (hormonal cravings specifically). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/31878131
Reducing body fat quickly with a micro-nutrient dense low carb diet has always been the first goal when women work with me. We must stabilize biochemical cravings first.
I wish this was the entire answer. Wouldn’t it be so much easier if it was? We’d all go on a well designed low carb diet and live happily ever after.
Unfortunately… although a well-designed low carb diet reduces almost all hormonal cravings, it doesn’t eradicate emotional, environmental, and habitual cravings and those are the reasons we continue to struggle even when we’re on a well-designed diet.
It’s these other three that blindside dieters usually about week 4 on their new plan.
It goes like this… you’re cruising along – feeling better than you’ve ever felt – losing about a pound a day – certain that you will NEVER, under any circumstances – EVER go off this diet… then WHAM – something happens – a vacation, a stressful event, dinner out – it doesn’t really matter what it is – an environmental, emotional, or habitual craving gets triggered.
You realize there is more to this than just finding the perfect diet.
Next, guilt and shame flood in – and you find yourself emotionally eating because you ate “off your plan”.
Then the hormonal blood sugar roller coaster sets in and now you’re emotionally, hormonally, habitually, and environmentally craving everything in sight.
What happens next? Every dieter knows this well…
Screw it – I’ll start over on Monday mindset kicks in – meanwhile, I’m going to eat every single thing in sight – all or nothing thinking takes over and you’re into a full blown 5-day binge.
Can you relate?
Yes, your diet matters but the reason you’ve struggled no matter what diet you’ve gone on is that we have 4 craving triggers and they all have to be tamed to keep the weight off for good.
It’s woman-nature to blame the diet for not working but really it’s just that a well-designed diet only tames one of the four craving triggers.
This is why diet #102 ends the exact same way diet #1 through #101 did.
You’re not broken – you’re not weak – you just were blessed with a craving body and brain.
There’s a solution I promise, but it’s not just another diet.
