When you think diet do you think deprivation?

Diet has become synonymous with weight loss. Tell someone you are on a diet and chances are the first question they ask is are you doing low-carb, low-fat or just counting calories?

In our society being on a diet means that you are depriving yourself of at least one food group. Eventually you grow tired of not eating the forbidden fruit and go back to your old way of eating;this leads to gaining back all the weight you lost plus a few extra pounds. 

In Latin the word for diet is diaeta meaning “way of living”; the Greek word is diaita meaning “to live one’s life”.

This is why I was so excited when I discovered Intuitive Eating, their philosophy is about living your life and listening to your body.
