OLD DIET MYTHS
No need to punish yourself with these old diet myths, and yes you can have a normal and healthy relationship with food.
| Old Myth. | Old Myth. | Old Myth. |
| The last 10 pounds are the hardest. | I can’t eat carbs, fried food or dessert. | I’m hungry but I should wait until lunch/dinner to eat. |
| New attitude. | New attitude. | New attitude. |
| It’s true that the last 10 pounds are the slowest but that is because as you lose weight your metabolism adapts, so don’t get frustrated just keep going. | No food should be off-limits. Deprivation just leads to binging. Instead of banning foods from your diet, give yourself permission to have a treat once a week. | I can eat whatever I want. You end up making bad choices when you’re starving, so it’s best to have a snack to tide you over. |
