Excessive Stress Has the Opposite Effect
Strict dietary restrictions or intense exercise routines increase stress, often leading to binge eating or giving up entirely. Approaching dieting in a more natural and relaxed way tends to be more sustainable.
Managing Expectations
If you aim too high with thoughts like, “I’m going to lose weight perfectly!” even minor failures can lead to disappointment. On the other hand, taking a more laid-back approach allows you to feel satisfied with small achievements.
Benefiting from Unconscious Choices
Your past healthy habits and knowledge can help you naturally make good decisions without forcing yourself, contributing to your success in subtle ways.
Easier to Maintain Relaxed Habits
Light exercise and simple dietary improvements within manageable limits are easier to maintain without much effort and can yield significant results over time.
By not being overly strict with yourself and focusing on enjoying the process, a more flexible, relaxed approach is often the key to a successful diet.
