Recently, the newspaper San Francisco Chronicle and other U.S. media outlets have printed "antidieticheskie" article. It appears that the boom with the slogan "Lose weight at any cost!" Subsides. Even offer to declare the year 2009 "Antidieticheskim year." Whether it is necessary to "fight with her own body?" - Asks antidietiki. "Sitting on a diet - the worst solution for people who want to control your weight - says Linda Bacon, a professor of nutrition and a clinical psychotherapist, whose book" Health in all dimensions, "published in November in California. - It is a diet - the shortest way to ensure that the weight gain. " As shown by its investigation, rather than a weight loss diet is actually counterproductive.

Diet Solution Program teaches the body to conserve energy, says Linda Bacon. If you starve yourself, your metabolism slows down and reduces the levels of leptin - a hormone produced in fat cells and is a key mechanism for the regulation of appetite. With fewer people in more leptin hungry that prompts him to eat more. Every human body has a certain "weight adjustment," which varies only slightly when a person eats in a normal response to the urge of hunger. Eat more at breakfast - and your body will ask less for dinner.

Diet violates this balance. book and research professor of Bacon were picked up by the motion of "Fat Man - a trifle," and the specialists who treat - just like her - people who have disorders of the power system. But not only them. "All my work comes down to simple advice to all those who want to give up dietomanii - she said. - They are exempt from execution of the eternal concerns of their weight and size. These people are tired of self-restraint and feeling lousy.

They are fed up with diet and kept tracking the race of its weight. " to the subject at the Bacon self-interest. She grew up in a ceaseless struggle against the "excessive" weight and negative self-esteem. Like many young women, she thought she was too full. She is constantly losing weight - just to get him back soon. "At some point it all became too much to get me, - said Dr. Bacon. - Since my childhood I was interested in science, I decided to approach their problem from a scientific point of view. " After receiving a master's degree psychology, Linda was still thinking about diet as a way to lose weight. "I wanted to understand why I weigh as much as I weigh. So I tried to find the most effective diet. " was followed by a doctorate in physiology at the University of Davis, who changed her views. She realized that all she had learned earlier about nutrition, it was "unscientific." Now the body of Linda's "normal", but for her it is not so much. In her book - advice consumers: when you eat, enjoy, and trust yourself.

Eat what you enjoy, eat that "delicious" and refrain from what is "just right." Know a reasonable sense of hunger - when people want to eat in moderation, they eat less than when they were starved. Do not put a ban on any food. But most importantly: do not sit on a diet.
