Weight Concerns
Have you been on every diet out there and cannot bear the thought of going on another? Are you feeling like a failure because you have been really successful on a diet (or multiple diets or even bariatric surgery), but then as soon as you were off, gained the weight back…plus more? Are you at your wits end with your weight and don’t know what to do?
The sad reality is dieting predicts weight gain. The failure rate for dieting is 95-98% meaning that only 2-5% of people who diet will lose weight and keep it off for 2 years or longer. I cannot think of any other product or service that we would accept with this kind of failure rate. Yet, here we are again as a culture living the definition of insanity- doing the same thing over and over hoping for a different outcome. This pattern continues as every time you start a new diet, you convince yourself, hope and truly believe, that this time will be different. However, if diets worked then the weight loss would not be a billion dollar industry, there would be only one diet, everyone would go on it and have the same results. That is not the case.
At My Signature Nutrition we don ‘t focus on weight, we focus on you. We will help you improve your overall health and well-being. We will help you transform your relationship with food. We will help you feel better, however we will do this without a weight focus. You already know that diet pills, commercial diets, fad diets- really any diet (or restrictive way of eating) does not work. That is why we don’t focus on weight. Instead, the focus is on YOU- your health, your well-being, what you’re doing and how you use food. With our focus on YOU and your health instead of weight loss, you will experience: improved health outcomes, increased energy, peace with food, improved body confidence, and finally stop dieting and weight cycling so that you can start living. For some people this may result in weight loss, but for some people it won’t. That might be a really scary thought, but we are here to help. What you have done before hasn’t worked and won’t. If you’re ready to stop dieting and start living, then let us help you shift the focus off weight so that you can finally be free! Wondering what that even means? Let us show you!
