No Wellness Wankery - 6: Am I on a diet or eating intuitively?

6: Am I on a diet or eating intuitively?

05/23/22 • 11 min

No Wellness Wankery

Diets don’t work – 96% of them fail long-term. So why are more people on a diet than ever?

Welcome to a brave new ‘wellness’ world where diets are dressed up and paraded as a ‘healthy lifestyle choice’ or ‘a way of eating’.

This sly rebrand tricks you into thinking you’re doing the “right thing” for your body. But diets, like the Atkins Diet, Cabbage Soup Diet and Lemon Detox Diet to name a few I’ve tried over the years, were much less damaging when they said what they were on the tin (though still plenty harmful.)
But it appears even diet companies are realising that diets don't work and are rebranding to try and entice us back in. So how do we know if we are eating intuitively or really just on another diet.

Not across intuitive eating? Well, you know instinctively know when you are tired and when you need the bathroom. But did you know that a very similar mechanism can help you regulate your weight without you even trying? You may even be familiar with this system. It is called appetite. Getting back in tune with it can teach you how to stop yo yo dieting for good.
As more and more diet companies try and commercialise the principles of intuitive eating, we need to know the clear warning signs to look out for!

5: Struggling to lose the last 5 kilos?

Struggling and just can’t lose the last few pounds? Do you know why it’s hard to lose them?
Society and your Instagram feed have programmed you to think that’s how you ‘should’ look, so you torture yourself to lose those last few pounds.
But why am I not losing weight in a calorie deficit, on an expensive weight loss program, or meal plan?

If it feels like your body is fighting against you when you try losing the last 5 kilos, maybe it’s because of your body IS fighting against you?
When Lyndi was a dieter, she used to punish herself to try and look better in a bikini....(whatever this even means?)
But it made everything harder... But not anymore.
P.s. Have you tried a bajillion diets, only to regain the weight (and more)?

It’s likely that diet culture is keeping you stuck in this vicious cycle, full of empty promises and failed attempts. If you want to build real health, check out my best-selling book Your Weight is Not the Problem. Get the deets and access to a free audio sample HERE.

7: Am I addicted to sugar?

Do you feel like you’re addicted to sugar? If you get sweet cravings, it sure can feel that way.
Today, 70% of the products in grocery stores have added sugar. Naturally, you have developed a taste for sweet things.

But, the good news is you can retrain your brain to stop sugar cravings... and you don’t even have to quit sugar to do it.
Don’t ‘quit sugar’ by cutting out all sugar from your diet. Just aim to eat less added sugar. It’s especially important you don’t cut out whole grains, carbs or fruit because fruit is not fattening.
P.s. Are you accidentally dieting? Download my free checklist here to identify if you currently follow any sneaky food rules.
