When trying to eat healthier, it’s
easy to trick yourself into thinking you’re on a diet. The biggest thing I try
to stay away from is that word. “Diet” is an evil word in so many ways. First
of all, when someone is on a diet doesn’t that make you think they’re over weight
and trying to shed some fat off their body? I feel like it’s just a negative
word. Lifestyle is a much nicer word and implies that it’s a life-long thing, unlike
a diet which seems to be temporary. Honestly, you can’t live your whole life
dieting! That would just be depressing!
The “plant-based” lifestyle isn’t dieting
at all. It’s just replacing animal products with plants. It’s become my normal,
everyday lifestyle and I never feel like I’m on a diet. In fact, I have started
to eat more than I used to and I’ve lost weight! If that isn’t crazy I don’t know
what is!
To me the word “diet” sounds like
it’s setting someone up for failure. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anybody who
is happy and dieting at the same time. Why would you want to go on a month-long
diet that only gives you temporary results, when you can turn your lifestyle around
and see life-long results? I would choose a “plant-based” lifestyle over a
restricting diet any day!
