No body has said that dieting is easy. First you need to make the decision, then motivateand above all, a great deal of self control.

Everyday life is harder, more hours, more junk food and less time to enjoy.

And I think that when we talk about weight loss diets, enjoyment is … zero.

Who enjoys dieting?

I have not met the first person to dance and toast happy because he or she is doing one of the many diets to lose weight, to start, because surely they can’t toast as alcoholic beverages are high in calories and therefore the diet does not allow them.

I mean, we are an “up- side down” society, Where the NO, is a constant and where we are taught to enjoy the pleasures of life. Eating for pleasure.

Weight loss is a long and complicated road, so it’s so easy to get carried away by the advertisement of this type of diets that are very attractive for someone who feels a great need to lose weight.

What if we decide to say no to diets to lose life and decided to adopt a new mindsetwhen it comes to eating and dieting in our lifestyle.

If we eat well . . .

• We improved our physical
• Prevent many diseases
• Improve our physical capabilities
• Increase our sense of wellbeing
• Increase self-esteem
• Improve our mood
