People talk about the problems with diet and dieting, and use them as an excuse for ending, or for not beginning a weight-loss plan. The main problems are that most people don’t know how the body works or they are unwilling to change their lifestyles. When correctly solved you will find these problems will disappear and will finally be a part of your lifestyle.
One problem with diet and dieting is that people complain of often feeling hungry. In fact, slimming doesn’t mean eating less. It just means eating differently. You should eat more foods rich in fiber(纤维) instead of foods high in fat. It is possible to be slim without ever feeling hungry. Eating more nutrient-rich(营养丰富的) foods also means you feel less hungry because your body is getting what it needs.
Another difficulty is the desire(欲望). Most people complain that they cannot eat their favorite foods because of the weight-loss plans, which causes them to eat too much “bad” food. A slimming plan shouldn’t mean you can just eat “bad” food. While there are some foods that you should limit, there is no harm if you take small amounts now and then. Eating one chocolate bar once in a while is not going to end a healthy eating plan..
Time can be another problem. When you’re busy, it seems much easier to just have a snack than to prepare a well-balanced meal. Slimming doesn’t mean spending more time. It also helps you save money. Fill your fridge with some food that can be thrown into a bag and eaten anytime. Also, with a little pre-planning, large healthy meals can be made all at once, and then foods frozen and reheated(重新加热) when needed.
