The Number 1 Nutrition Mistake That You Can Make

by Brad Pilon

I can still remember back to when I was writing Eat Stop Eat. I had
just finished my major literature review on the benefits of short
term fasting for weight loss and was eager to share what I had
found with the rest of the world.

My goal was a simple one. To explain the scientific literature
carefully and thoroughly so I could help people understand that
today's obsessive compulsive approach to nutrition is simply NOT
NEEDED.

Well its almost two years later, and I'm starting to think that I
didn't quite get my message across the way I wanted too.

Sure, more people than ever are are following Eat Stop Eat. And,
more people then ever are seeing amazing weight loss results
because of Eat Stop Eat.

But there are also many people who are now following a low-carb
diet, cycling their calories, timing their protein, eating 17 times
a day, only eating protein with fat (never carbs) AND following Eat Stop Eat

This was not what I had envisioned. I was hoping to help people
break free from this craziness. OR, as the psycho looking
infomercial lady with the blonde spikey hair used to say "STOP THE
INSANITY".

For the vast majority of us (myself included) simply eating the way
we normally do, following a resistance training workout program and
fasting once or twice a week using the Eat Stop Eat method will
over time result in dramatic weight loss results.

You may need to change the way you eat during your eating days if
you are preparing to get your body fat levels temporarily down to
dangerously low levels because you are competing in a bodybuilding
or fitness pageant, then , but again for
most of us, simply eating in a stress free way that has a hint of
responsibility will be enough.

Now I will admit that for health purposes, many of us would benefit
from eating less sugar and more healthy fats. And I completely
agree with the statement that fruits and vegetables are good for
your health. But the rest of the pill-popping, protein
shake-drinking portion-measuring food-avoiding dogma that goes
along with what we believe to be "healthy eating" is complete and
utter nonsense.

In my opinion its time to not only give up on this trend of OCE
(Obesseive compulsive eating), but to actually start raging against
it.

I think OCE is the number one nutrition mistake that you can make.
Take a look at these OCE diet plans that appear in all the
magazines. They will work because they reduce calories, but really,
are they healthy? Is 8 weeks of egg whites and cauliflower good for
you? Not just your physical health, but psychologically? If you eat
a brownie, should you actually feel disgusted with yourself? I hope
your answer is no to all of these questions.

You have enough stress in your life that worrying about some super
complicated way of eating shouldn't be one of them. Sure these
methods may make you lose weight (because they lower your
calories), but if there are easier, less complicated and still
highly effective methods, then why bother?

Weight loss shouldn't come at the expense of your sanity. There is a
better way, and in my opinion it's Eat Stop Eatt method.
