I say one cheat day because I wanted to illustrate the fact that this diet can be used for people wanting to know how to lose weight in 2 weeks. Binge dieting simply does not work from a TCM perspective — it just makes weight loss harder in the long run as it never addresses the cause of the weight gain. Being overweight is a symptom of an internal health problem, not a cause. In order to overcome the problem, the cause needs to be addressed.
A very recent study attempted to measure food waste not in weight or dollars, but in nutrients. Writing in the Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, the authors estimated that the amount of food thrown away in the United States in 2012 would have been enough to feed 190 million adults every day that year.
Keep reminding yourself of the benefits you would get if you continue with your regimen. Read inspiring weight loss stories. Watch videos of people working out and getting fit. Tell yourself how your life would change for the better once you lose the weight and transform yourself into your fittest self.
