Summary: -----------------------------<br> ♦ Engaged to be Divorced ♦<br> -----------------------------<br> Scott compares repeated diet failures common with fad dieting to the cycle of unhealthy romantic relationships.<br> <br> Remember: “Insanity is doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result.”<br> <br> ♦♦ People who don’t learn from their history are destined to repeat it. ♦♦<br> <br> • Unhealthy relationship cycle: Meet, courtship, engagement, wedding, honeymoon, facing that the relationship won’t work, divorce, learning nothing, then repeating the same cycle later thinking it will be different this time.<br> <br> • This cycle is often repeated because the process of meeting and courtship is glorified. This is true of vogue diet trends.<br> <br> • Deprivation and denial diets are back, alive and well. A few of the current vogue diet trends:<br> - Seven-day metabolic reset<br> - Intermittent fasting<br> - Keto diet with intermittent or true fasting<br> -One meal per day<br> <br> • Cutting carbs is a form of fasting.<br> <br> • Thinking a diet will work doesn’t change how the mind and body will respond to it.<br> <br> • Diets that call for deprivation and denial run counter to the hardwiring of the brain, and are therefore doomed to fail in the long term.<br> <br> • Falling in love with a diet blinds the dieter to internal signals from the body that the diet isn’t healthy, sustainable, or abusive to the body.<br> <br> • “Keto flu” is the body’s way of signaling that something’s wrong.<br> <br> • Deprivation diets are repeated when hope wins out over experience.<br> <br> • Metabolic compensation system operates in the immediate, residual and cumulative realms of time.<br> <br> • Fad diets operate in the short term, immediate time frame.<br> <br> • People don’t talk about their diet failures. All that’s publicized in social media are the short-term results.<br> <br> • Consequences of unhealthy diets can be experienced long after the diet is abandoned.<br> <br> • The longest, most important relationship you will ever have is the one you have with yourself.<br> <br> • Since when does a survival diet have anything to do with robust health?<br> ♦ We are the only mammal on the planet that fears its food.<br> <br> **Get an entire module of "Food Freedom" as a Free Email Course. 100% Free.
