One critical reason to get this dieting thing right is to avoid a lifetime of repeating dieting mistakes. As reported in the Healthy Weight Journal, “many older women continue to recycle diets tried from their past. It is not surprising to
hear of a woman going on an all-grapefruit diet or popular diets from 20 years ago such as the Beverly Hills Diet, which also advocated the consumption of a single food each day, every day.”
Women are still looking for the “holy grail” of weight loss, but there is no magic pill. Moreover, the consequences of dieting take greater tolls on your health as you age.
