Are you tired of restrictive, depriving diets that eventually result in frustration, weight cycling and ultimately uncontrollable eating behaviors? Me too! It's hard to let go of something you've never known anything different from. I can help you. Restrictive weight loss diets simply do more harm than good. Research shows that depriving weight loss diets most often lead to weight gain, due to the effects of long-term weight cycling. The repeated loss and regain of weight is physically unhealthy on its own, and the emotional stigma attached to it inflicts another round of damage.
