Do you want to get better at dieting?: Dieting perspectives and training for success
Have you ever been so angry at a boss, coworker, or customer that you wanted to let loose on them? If you’re like the majority of people in the world this has probably happened to you at least once. If you’re also like the majority of people in the world you chose not to do so. So why is controlling the impulses of our anger normal yet controlling the impulses of what we eat almost a superhuman power? The answer lies in our perspectives on the consequences and rewards of our actions and quite frankly most people view losing their job as a lot worse than breaking a diet.
What if we could create perspectives that not only make sticking to our diet more desirable, but also make being on the diet more pleasant? Good news everybody! We can! For those who have children imagine sitting your children down and telling them if you do not succeed at your diet you will die. Would you be able to continue about your ways changing nothing? Could you watch them idly as they sob fearing the death of their beloved parent? Not all of us have children and not everything needs to be as drastic as this, but it illustrates the point that we can create an environment and perspective that increases the incentives for adhering to our diets.
Some decisions we make, like to diet, are easy to make and a lot harder to keep. In 2001 I decided I was going to join the military. I knew that I would try to convince myself to back out of this decision so I decided to tell as many people as I could in the early hours of the morning and pursuing days that I was joining the military. Those thoughts about backing out did start to creep up in my mind, but I’m true to my word and I wasn’t going to back out of what I told my close friends and family I was going to do. I created an environment where I was invested in following through with my decision. In 2001 I joined the Air Force and proudly served for 5 years and it ended up being one of the best decisions I ever made.
I embarked on a series of health experiments in March 2012 lasting 6 months during which time I did not consume any salt, sugar, or seasonings. I drank only water and never had a single cheat meal. I started with four week long single food source diets of 6.75 lbs of potatoes per day, 36 eggs per day, 5.2 lbs of bananas per day, and 4.5 lbs of raw beef per day. During this time I started to become self-aware of all the steps I’ve taken and perspectives I had that enabled me to achieve ultimate dieting success even on such extreme diets.
It is possible to create an environment and have perspectives that create investment in a diet so great that sticking to it becomes an easy choice. I discuss many of the ways that I have created perspectives and control my emotions to avoid making impulse dieting decisions. I also discuss training dieting because so many health books tell you what to do but not how to do it or how to get better if you do not first succeed.
This book delves into the mental, emotional, and training tools we can use to achieve diet success. It is accomplished via perspective and progressive training. I've used these perspectives and tools to become an expert dieter and you can too.
