Myths about diet and weight loss

Although you may be able to lose weight by dieting, it is not effective in maintaining your desired weight in the long term. In fact, various psychological aspects of diet work directly against the ability to maintain a healthy weight. diabetes diets

Obesity and overeating are often driven by emotions and conditioned hunger, rather than an improper diet, lack of self-discipline, lack of willpower, or lack of motivation. FALL extinguishes the conditioning and emotions that cause overeating and make it difficult to lose weight. Once eating is only fueled by physiological hunger, rather than hunger and conditioned emotions, lean eating patterns are much easier. fat diet diets

Sophisticated long-term online maintenance technology ensures that you continue to process feelings rather than fill them with food.


Most overweight people have followed a diet and know what they should and should not eat. So why do diets not work for most people over time? These three myths are responsible.

1. All one has to do is practice self-discipline and self-control.

This is the exact opposite of what works for food. Discipline against food cravings causes misery and leads to failure. To successfully lose weight, hunger and cravings must be extinguished so that the pleasure of losing weight "overcomes" the misery of constantly fighting cravings.

2. You must eat when you are hungry

The sensations commonly identified as physical hunger are really a combination of learned and physical hunger. Hunger learned is stronger and more common than pure physiological hunger, and it is very difficult to differentiate it from pure physiological hunger. When feelings of hunger are followed by food, these feelings are strengthened just like any other behavior followed by a reinforcer. Eating in response to feelings of hunger reinforces learned hunger and makes you feel hungrier more often.

3. Weight loss is a matter of learning a new and better diet and following it.

Healthy eating patterns are common knowledge in this culture. Focusing on a diet loses the emotions that drive overeating. Food serves as a drug to suppress unpleasant feelings. In order to lose and maintain a healthy weight, these feelings must be identified and resolved individually so that they no longer cause overfeeding. Computer-assisted emotional restructuring (CAER) can quickly extinguish these feelings. fat diabetes diet

The Craving Extinction Program prevents you from succumbing to these myths. CAER removes the misery of self-discipline from the diet. You are explicitly prohibited from any diet in any way. You simply eat what you know is good for you until you are satisfied. The Craving Extinction Program extinguishes conditioned hunger as well as cravings, so you only eat in response to physical hunger. Instead of dieting, you focus and eliminate the emotions that overeat.
