So it turns out that moderation is good for the soul and the waistline

From the article:

Following a diet plan that deprives your body of healthy balanced meals can create an ill-health condition. What impacts are you having on your mind, body and spirit through deprivation dieting? I will list the top 10 health risk associated with deprivation dieting; however there are many more negative health impacts when unhealthy fad diets, diet pills, or starvation diets are applied to reduce weight quickly.

  1. Deprivation of foods we love or need only makes you want to cheat on your diet loss plan that much more with failed results.
  2. Not consuming nutrients from all food groups will leave you feeling un-energized coupled with more sedentary behavioral patterns, low immune system, etc. leading to other ill-health conditions.
  3. Greater loss of will power due to repeat weight loss failures will leave you more prone to look for other unsafe fad diet solutions, seeking the silver bullet will further risk your health.
  4. People tend to isolate themselves from others to avoid social gatherings where there will be tempting foods – Circle of family and friends isolation will further erode morale, well-being, and increase depression through isolation.
  5. Extreme mood changes typically causes acute -chronic depression which also has a direct impact on ill-health (psychosomatic) mind-body ill-health condition.
  6. Most deprivation diets fail and body weight returns with a vengeance solidifying failure, loss of will power, decreased self-esteem.
  7. Increase body fat and decreased muscle mass as a result of fad dieting, or deprivation results in slower, or broken metabolism.
  8. Risky diet plans can create behavioral patterns considered as OCB (Obsessive Compulsive Behavior) traits. OCB traits are bad for your overall body, mind, soul, family and circle of friends, etc.
  9. Brain function suffers, or does not perform optimally. Nutrient reduction impacts cognitive, mood and physiological functions.
  10. Sleep patterns becomes irregular, impacting well-being exposing you to other ill-health possibilities.
http://hubpages.com/hub/Weight-Loss-Through-Deprivation-HealthyI've always believed in moderation in many areas of my life, including diet.  That's one of the reasons I've followed the Mediterranean Diet for so many years.  All of the good things that I like to eat.  I'm sure that I'll be corrected but if it works for you I don't care if you eat cat turds covered in chocolate sauce....if it works, it works.  Lindy LinB2011-04-01 16:07:09Just in case anyone is on the "cat turds in chocolate sauce" diet...
 
I've got 7 cats and all the cat turds you could want! Feel free to come and scoop all you want out of any litter box in my house!  [QUOTE=Brisen]LOL Lindy and Marie! In our house, we call the cat turds Almond Roca!

And just to show I can keep this thread on track, I want to add, that in my opinion, moderation is the key to just about everything. I've been a vegetarian for many years, but I don't deny myself something I might be craving...like an occasional candy, pastry, glass of wine, etc. I consider my diet to be better than most, so I don't sweat the small stuff!
