What Can Be Done to Stop a Cycle of Losing and Gaining Weight?

If you ever stayed on a diet, I am sure you can recall that after you stop your diet, your weight also comes back. The reason is simple, you consume more calories than you burn. This concept is so simple that everyone is aware of it, but not many people know a way around it. The fact that people can't be always on a diet is realistic, it is similar to the fact that at some point you want to relax your muscles, and just enjoy yourself. And, if you can't relax that pressure like stress, builds up until you give up. Things do not have to be this way, because all you are doing is forcing yourself to do something against your own will. This makes it harder to make long term commitments to your diet. But, commitment is very important and without it you can't succeed in the long run. You might be able to lose some weight, but very soon you will get tired and your weight would start going back up all over again.

Before you commit to something, you have to try to understand what you are coming to, and make sure that it is reasonable or logically sound to make that kind of commitment for the rest of your life. Is it logically sound to eat only those foods that are defined as "good" for your body, but might not be so good to eat those foods just for pleasure? Well, I don't know about you, but for me it is hard to stop eating cakes, candy, or other sweet treats. It is hard for me to stop eating bread, meat, and whatever tastes good. But, the problem is not in the food we eat, it is about how, how much, when, with what or in what combination.

If you eat a lot of something, it is probably not necessary and most likely will make you gain more weight. If you eat at night or just at any time you feel like it, it would also make you gain weight. If you got used to eating a little bit of everything at one sitting you are very likely to gain weight. So, while it is difficult to say that I would never eat sweets in my life because sweets make me fat. It would not be very difficult to commit to eating sweets separately from other foods like meat, or meals in general. Pizza is a good example because essentially it is a combination of different foods; it contains bread, cheese, meant, vegetables, and sometimes fruits. While overeating is the most obvious contributor to overweight problems, eating cheese, meat, and bread all together is even worse. But, most of us manage to include sweets at the end of each meal on top of everything else, which is very damaging to our health.

If you want to be healthy, and stay in control of your weight, it is important to commit to good eating habits, like eating meat with rice and vegetables, without any sweets or bread. Bread and fruits is very good combination, even though not many people have tried it, I really enjoy watermelon with bread, which I would recommend to try to anyone who likes watermelon.
