Things people say when dieting
The path to fitness is full of common misconceptions
Here are some common phrases said by people who are dieting:
- “If I exercise enough, I can eat what I want.” On average, one hour of walking burns 250 calories but an ice cream sundae can have double that. I guarantee the sundae will be eaten a lot faster that it will take to burn it off on the treadmill
- “I don’t drink soda.” Empty calories are still empty calories, whether they come from soda or other beverages such as tea or fruit juices
- “I eat organic chips which are healthier.” Unfortunately, organic chips, cookies, etc. are still chips, cookies, etc. are no less fattening.
- “I choose low fat or fat free snacks” Truth is they are usually processed refined carbs which make you even hungrier in no time.

Why do I never lose weight when I diet?
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]There’s a science to weight loss and the struggle to diet
Here is the latest thinking behind the science of weight loss:
- There’s a genetic component (in other words, there is a “fat gene”)
- Some people just have more fat cells
- Your metabolism can change making it harder to lose weight once you gain weight
- Stress can cause you to crave carb-rich snack foods
- Not enough sleep (sleep deprivation triggers a decrease in leptin which helps us feel full and an increase in ghrelin which makes us feel hungry)
- Your spouse’s weight matters (if one spouse is obese, the other is 37% likely to become obese, too)
Can I maintain my weight loss over the holidays??
Yes, if you know the nutritional facts about your meal
Here is some basic nutritional information about a holiday dinner and how to make up for it afterward or simply make different choices:
- Turkey – service size 6 oz., 340 calories – 35 minutes on the treadmill or 56 minutes on the elliptical
- Stuffing – service size ½ cup, 180 calories – 18 minutes on the treadmill or 30 minutes on the elliptical
- Mashed potatoes – serving size ½ cup, 150 calories – 15 minutes on the treadmill or 25 minutes on the elliptical
