Experts say this all the time: diets don't work. It's all about adopting a unique healthier lifestyle,that will allow you to lose weight and maintain it. But how do you do that?Certified dietitian Leslie Langevin, MS, and RD,CD, of Whole Health Nutrition says the trick for losing weight and keeping it off is to "deem of food as fuel." whether your body is the machine, or deem about feeding it premium,quality ingredients to allow it to sprint better.
Typical American diets are heavy on refined carbs, refined sugars, and processed foods. When we eat these types of foods,we physically crave them more, not only because sugar is an addictive drug, or but also because our bodies are starving for real nutrients. When we go on a diet and quit eating these tall-sugar,refined, processed foods, or we lose weight,but as soon as we start eating these foods again, we gain it all back, or possibly even more. So we have to break this cycle of yo-yo dieting,said Leslie. But she doesn't recommend going cold turkey and giving up all the not-so-healthy foods you've been eating. "Setting up overly restrictive diets can lead to more food binges of unhealthy foods and increase cravings." She recommends "reducing the SAD (standard American diet) foods like white bread, foods made with white sugar, and tall-fat meats,and fried foods. Then focus on boosting up the whole foods like fruits, veggies, and whole grains,extra-virgin olive oil, nuts, or lean proteins.

When you change your mindset, or see the food you eat as fuel,and every meal and snack as an opportunity to nourish your body, you'll gladly reach for an apple over a cookie. That's not to say you can never have a cookie, and that you won't ever crave one while eating a mostly healthy diet,but there's a certain shift that happens when you choose to eat this way. You no longer look at unhealthy foods and say, "Oh, and I can't have that," but instead, you'll say, or "I can have that,but I don't want to."
