How fad diets and marketing distract you from lasting weight loss.

Marketing is a huge problem as it relates to weight loss. There’s a split between what’s good for you and what would sell, or what people click on. Most weight loss products are marketed being harsh on you, putting very high standards and very advanced diets.

I don’t mean you can’t have high standards or amazing results. You can, but it happens gradually, it’s like cooking a very advanced meal, you need to be good at the basics of cooking before trying the advanced recipes. But somehow, we don’t apply this mindset to weight loss, and its simple physics and systems theory. Everything must be gradual.

I believe this happens because we learn to not like our bodies, we believe we should be different.We learn to be in denial of where we are, and from this denial we don’t start where we are, but from where others start. But this denial is conflictive, because if you're in denial of what is actual, you don't deal with the problem that needs to be solve, therefore it keeps re-appearing.

The people who diets are marketed to are the ones who need a more gentle approach to weight loss.

So be aware of this issue, and look at yourself, consider your circumstances, and start there. Let go of ideals of how you should be, let go of escaping. And from there your efforts will be sustainable and will produce results.

Don’t worry about time, there’s going to be a tipping point doing it this way, where you will enter flow. When you enter flow, when you get momentum, there will be tremendous happiness, and certainty. When this happens even though you don’t have the results yet, you will have enough and be certain.

Just a little post about what I'm seeing this days, I hope it helps you. If you have something to add, or an oppinion to share do it.
