The psychology of dieting, or the "vicious cycle of dieting," is a trap that many people fall into when trying to lose weight. In this cycle, people remain stuck and dependent on various forms of dieting, resulting in losing and gaining weight again and again. Let's take a closer look at how the vicious cycle of dieting unfolds.

Start of diet -> Strict restrictions -> Intense feeling of hunger and cravings -> Violation of rules/ episodes of overeating -> End of diet/ Disappointment/ Negative emotions

Have you found yourself in the above situation? Do you recognize these emotions? Then you probably followed a diet plan that doesn't suit you, restricting yourself too much. There are certainly many express diets that promise rapid weight loss, losing 2-3 kilos per week, but the most likely outcome is that you will end up in a vicious cycle of constantly losing and gaining weight. This can cause you stress and ultimately lead to disappointment.

In order to see the change you want:

• Try to improve your relationship with food fundamentally.
• Adopt healthy habits.
• Set small and realistic goals.

Instead of trying to "fix" your body and deal with overeating and snacking by even more "well-designed diets" and restrictions, try to have a more peaceful relationship with food and your body.

You can have freedom in your diet. You can have food as part of taking care of yourself and your body, not as punishment.

The most important thing is to be able to find balance in your diet, and then you will see the result you want on the scale and in your appearance.
