Company Asks If The Anti-Diet Is Just Another Diet
NASHVILLE, TN / ACCESSWIRE / February 7, 2022 / The struggle with food has been ongoing since sliced bread, even before. It can affect anyone and is more widespread than most realize. A study by ScienceDaily showed sixty-five percent of American women from 25 to 45 report having disordered eating behaviors, according to the results of a new survey by Self Magazine in partnership with the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill.
The COVID-19 global pandemic has brought many women's disordered eating out of the shadows. The isolation at home, stockpiled food, and added stress have pushed many to their breaking point. The National Eating Disorders Association reported a 41% increase in messages to its helplines in January 2021 compared with January 2020.
Most dieters are aware that diets are harmful and form binge-restrict behavior cycles. In addition, numerous studies have shown that dieting is actually a consistent predictor of future weight gain, and repeatedly losing and gaining weight is linked to cardiovascular disease, stroke, diabetes, and altered immune function.
One of the most recent trends in dieting offers a new approach and a solution for those battling with food. The Anti-Diet of 2022 is based on intuitive eating: eating whatever foods are desired, paying attention to hunger and fullness signals, and letting go of the diet mentality. It is a prescription to avoid restriction.
But many fear The Anti-Diet may become just another diet. Coach creator of the Beat The Binge program, Lydia Knight, says "it isn't as easy as replacing one set of rules for another. You cannot diet your way out of your struggle with food. We must be willing to transform not only how we act around food, but how we think about food and ourselves."
Beat The Binge encourages women to be aware of repackaged diet mentality concepts. Knight advises women to notice extremes in an eating plan. The diet mentality is about "on the wagon" and "off the wagon" with the chosen prescriptive behaviors. This reinforces disordered eating, and the binge restrict cycle.
Dieters should also be aware of the "rules" of any new diet or eating plan. Diet mentality is a temporary set of rigid rules which sets dieters up to fail and gain the weight back along with additional pounds.
Those seeking permanent weight loss are encouraged to play the long game. The key to ditching diets for good is to develop a new way of eating that is life-long and sustainable. Knight says, "you can have permanent freedom with food by breaking the habit of thought that leads to the behavior. That is what will bring you to eat intuitively and be at peace with your body."
