Understand your sentiment Bratti but the fact is, if you are starting on a "DIET" then by definition you are embarking on a TEMPORARY eating change and for that reason it will never work in terms of permanent weight loss.
There has to be a permanent eating change, a complete lifestyle change in order to undo the harms caused by a previous bad eating regime and lifestyle.
A permanent eating change, with the associated food and nutrition education, is NOT a diet.
Diets are temporary. They pretty much ALL result in some level of swift weight loss (often water related) but since the diet is not sustainable and eventually comes to an end, the former eating regime starts to reappear and the weight comes back on and sadly usually more weight is put on besides.
This is all very old hat, all well documented. The well known slimming clubs have an APPALLING record of its members managing to lose weight and keep it off permanently. More than 80% put the weight back on and a high percentage of those put on more weight besides.
Diets simply do not work. They are temporary changes effected by people who don't like what they have become but who still don't understand their bodies and what fuel their bodies actually need. Dieters are still living for themselves, feeding the monster instead of resigning themselves to the fact that the body is simply a machine which needs to treated in a certain way.
What we want, what we think we like to eat or don't like to eat is of no consequence whatsoever. What the body needs is all that counts. The body is our vessel in this universe/reality, it's vital that we realise that and look after it.
