In one of the nutrition classes I had in college, my teacher went on a rant about diets and asked us what the first 3 letters in the word "diet" were. It's DIE. And it is very fitting for diets. Why? Because they don't last. What a diet means is that it will eventually have an end. And I believe that mindset plays a huge role when it comes to losing weight. If you have a mindset that you are making a huge sacrifice in your diet and that you can't wait to be able to eat that "forbidden" high fat, high calorie food, even if you lose weight over the span of that diet, you will almost inevitably gain it back.

To me all diets are in essence, one and the same. They all have this great new concept. They all have this new "amazing breakthrough in research." And in the end, they're all the same. They all fail.

Before I go into detail about how I think losing weight should happen, I just want to talk about a general topic that relates to this specific topic. It's the desire to work hard to earn something. I have a very good friend that wants all these results but doesn't want to change his lifestyle. He'll do anything that does not require any kind of hard work. And he's not unique.
