Are you tired of yo-yo dieting?
Are you tired of yo-yo dieting or using food as a way to fulfill your emotional needs?
Do you constantly think about food?
Do you hate the way you look?
Do you use food to take care of yourself or to punish yourself?
Are you tired of dieting and don't know what else to do?
Always thinking about what you should eat and how you should look is no way to live your life.
Why dieting and restricting doesn't work
You have learned to diet, to restrict, to limit yourself of the food you love (restricting = anything you do to make a food "bad"). This doesn't make you want the food less. In fact, often you want the food more! In the end, in spite of your intentions to eat less, you end up overeating.

Have you ever noticed that you overeat (binge) on the very same food
you decided never to touch again? Of course. It isn't that you don't want
it, it's that you made it bad, the forbidden item. This actually increases
your desire for the specific food you are trying not to eat.
Try NOT thinking of a pink elephant.
Food works the same way and that is the reason restricting doesn't
work.
In fact, some studies show that 95%-98% of diets don't work.
