Five Reasons to Quit Dieting This Summer

Have you ever wondered why it's nearly impossible to stay on a diet and lose weight? There are many reasons diets don't work and even more reasons to give up dieting forever. Here are five ways to reach your goals the old-fashioned way: with a little exercise and some small changes.

1. Diets don't work: The problem with most diets is that they're too specific. They tell you what to eat and how much, but don't take into account individual preferences. Plus, they throw so much change at us that they're nearly impossible to follow. Remember, weight loss is a lifetime thing.
2. Diets are ridiculous: Fad diets, such as the Cabbage Diet or Hollywood Diet, use semi-starvation methods to promote weight loss, which is bad for you. Diets that restrict one or more of the food groups should top your list of diets to avoid.
