You're always like Dory (the little fish from Finding Nemo) thinking, I'm not on a diet anymore! I have finally decided to follow the recommendations of my doctor, my coach or my nutritionist to lead a healthy lifestyle together with a balanced nutritional plan to lose weight, without going hungry and without extremes - as it should be - and after 2 seconds, grabs your attention and dazzles you for a short period of time. After a while, a new thing begins to shine and you feel the uncontrollable urge to find out what it is, again diverting you from your original path or goal.
The Miracle Diet Bombardment
And it is that we are continually faced with the bombardment of miracle diets, the latest diet, the latest influencer that brings a new method to lose weight, the new weight loss guru who has become famous on social networks, the most innovative weight loss product that just hit the market and stop counting.
the crossroads
Finally we see ourselves as at a crossroads.
The problem arises when opinions contradict each other and that's where you don't know what to do and due to ignorance you lose focus on your goal.
Everyone promises you miraculous results and you feel at a dead end crossroads: where do I start? What will be the best method? Or even worse, you start doing everything they recommend, several methods at the same time, or you jump from one diet to another without stopping, without much results.
These are "shining objects" that dazzle you, continually distract your attention, confuse you and in many cases make you lose your way to your goal: Losing weight.
Worse still is when the objects that shine shine in opposite directions. For example, some recommend fasted cardio and on the other hand, others condemn it. Many recommend drinking milk, while others demonize it and recommend or demand that you eliminate it completely from your diet, and that you will only be able to lose weight if and only if you consume almond milk, kale, chia and other series of superfoods that you may not even know existed.
So always remember that! Not all that glitters is gold. There is so much information that frequently jumps around us and often looks so attractive that sometimes we cannot resist the temptation to try that new miracle diet or follow the instructions of that
influencer who promises that now with his advice or With her super green juice detox diet, in just 3 days she will make you have a flat abdomen and lose weight forever.
However, always remember: not all that glitters is gold! Just as not all methods to lose weight are effective, but above all
not all are healthy.
Beware of siren songs
I invite you to be very alert so that you do not feel attracted to siren songs since
many of these miracle or dissociated diets have no scientific basis or proven efficacy.
You may manage to lose a few kilos, however, the effort is sometimes so great that you give up and soon return to your original weight. Or even worse, you get sick, lose muscle mass and start to experience anxiety and depression, which together with frequent weight gain can affect your self-esteem.
And don't let us fall into temptation... To avoid falling into the temptation of going from diet to diet and walking like "Dory" through life,
the key is to be clear about your objectives, creating a well-defined action plan and not letting nothing and no one get out of your way.
So here are 6 recommendations that will help you eliminate
Shiny Object Syndrome in your weight loss strategy:
1.- Consult with a specialist in the field and follow his instructions to the letter.
2.- Plan your meals in detail.
3.- Focus on your goal and follow a single nutritional plan and physical activity recommendations.
4.- Avoid distracting your attention by following the indications and miracle methods that proliferate daily through social networks and that invade your email as spam.
5.- Keep an agenda and make your check list and every time you comply with each of the recommendations of your initial plan, celebrate it!
6.- Follow your agenda, calendar and/or action plan without doing anything different from what you already had planned.
This is the secret to success:
Twenty-one days is the minimum time you need to create a new habit , focus on following your weight loss program without allowing shiny objects that appear on the way to divert you from your goal.
