The Top 5 Reasons Why Your Last Diet Didn't Work (and what you can do about it!)

Diets are a lot like relationships. Most of them start with high hopes and good intentions. “This is it!” we tell everyone, “I just know this time it’ll work out.”

Is getting fat a sign of stupidity or lack of education?

delilah — Tue, 29 Aug 2006 14:32:40 +0200

So Finally!

My site is up and I'm opening my blog here today as well to ramble on all sorts of dieting topics I come across on my daily diet crusade :-)

There's an interesting controversy going on at diet-blog.com today - see the following quote:

Structure and support system helps new mom losing weight

delilah — Sun, 14 Jan 2007 22:19:44 +0100

one of my readers write:

“I got really big after I gave birth to my first baby. I could barely find time to clean the house, much less exercise! I bought a video I used about ten times before giving up. Seemed like five minutes into the warm ups the baby would wake up, and it’s not like I could ignore my daughter.

She dumped the pounds, after she dumped him!

delilah — Wed, 24 Jan 2007 22:36:43 +0100

"Steve and I had a really rocky relationship. We'd fight a lot, and sometimes he'd threaten to pack up and leave. I guess I felt I had to work harder to keep him. I'd freak out when I'd gain weight, go on a diet, ask him if he thought I was fat. Or sometimes I'd get so depressed about something he said and eat like a cow, then wake up guilty and scared that he'd hate me, and starve myself again.

Dieting Pill for Babies

delilah — Thu, 09 Aug 2007 10:31:07 +0200

I found an interesting article from the New York Times today. Scientists believe that obesity partly exists because of genetic predisposition and partly because of the wrong lifestyle (simply eating too much).

New Design Online

delilah — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 14:21:58 +0200

How do you like the new design of DietingDelilah.com?

I worked on the website over the past two weeks and also changed the design to make the website more appealing.

9 - The Chicken Soup Diet

delilah — Thu, 02 Aug 2007 14:43:22 +0200

Who doesn’t love chicken soup?

10 - The Metabolism Diet

delilah — Tue, 07 Aug 2007 15:12:50 +0200

According to the Metabolism Diet, if you eat a certain combination of food, you initiate a chemical reaction where (gasp!) your metabolism works faster and burns more calories. This diet plan is the opposite of many soup diets as they usually promote just eating one type of food over a longer period of time.

Ending the kitchen wars

delilah — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 15:27:19 +0100

“My husband and I love good eats. We enjoyed trying out new restaurants. We putter in the kitchen together. When something great happens, we celebrate by making elaborate dinners.
He wasn’t very happy about switching to what he calls my “cow food”—
salads, cereals.

And I didn’t feel like making two separate meals, to keep him happy while sticking to my diet. Despite everything I’d give up because it was simpler to just cook something he enjoyed.

Doctor’s orders!

delilah — Tue, 06 Mar 2007 15:29:22 +0100

I’m a medical resident. I work long shifts, skip meals, then eat when I can as fast as I can. I used to carry chocolate bars in my pocket because they were filling and the sugar rush would wake me up. Yeah, I know, doctors don’t lead very healthy lives.

But I was getting really big and feeling really heavy and sluggish. I needed to lose weight, and not by starving my already exhausted body. The easiest solution was finding low-fat convenience food. Energy bars, muesli with milk, carrot sticks. It’s easier than most people think, a lot of this is in the supermarkets already.

Dear fellow dieters,

delilah — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 17:07:24 +0200

I am really sorry that I haven't published anything on this blog for so long, but I had some problems in my personal life that I had to sort out first.

I promise that I will try my best now to finally bring this blog to life. In the past week I have gathered lots of information on diets and diet tips that I will post on this blog pretty soon.

Choosing the right diet for you

delilah — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 17:19:40 +0200

Everyone is searching for the ONE diet that will finally work. Many people a big mistake when it comes to diets: They think that a diet that worked for a good friend, for instance, will also work for themselves.

1 - The Atkins Diet

delilah — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 17:28:22 +0200

The Atkins diet is a low-carb diet, and operates on the logic that when you deprive your body of carbs, you force it to start a process called lipolysis/ketosis, when it starts to burn fat. The diet is therefore also known asa ketosis diet.

2 - Bob Greene's Total Body Makeover

delilah — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 17:30:19 +0200

* The Atkins Diet\n* Bob Greene's Body Makeover\n* Weight Watchers\n* The Cabbage Soup Diet\n* The Negative Calorie Diet\n* The Scarsdale Diet\n* The Zone Diet\n* The South Beach Diet\n* The Chicken Soup Diet\n

3 - The Weight Watchers Program

delilah — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 18:37:11 +0200

When Weight Watchers says you’ll be “counting calories” they mean it. As the name says the are weight loss watchers and will keep an eye on you, so that you lose weight.

4 - The Cabbage Soup Diet

delilah — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 18:38:42 +0200

The cabbage soup is the soup diet that sarted the diet soup hype which also made chicken soup and celery soup popular as good soups for losing weight. The cabbage soup basically a seven day diet where you eat nothing but cabbage soup and another viand. It’s high in fiber, low in fat,

5 - Russian Airforce Diet

delilah — Thu, 19 Jul 2007 18:49:44 +0200

The urban legend is that the soldiers of the Soviet Union would eat this to stay lean and fit, but that’s highly unlikely.

6 - The Scarsdale Diet

delilah — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 17:23:51 +0200

This diet was developed by Herman Tarnower in the 1970’s, but is very similar to The Zone Diet (to play on Shakespeare, “a diet by any other name still has no sweets…”). It is also sometimes referred to as the Scarsdale medical diet as Mr Tarnower is a doctor

7 - The Zone Diet

delilah — Wed, 25 Jul 2007 17:27:47 +0200

also known as 40-30-30

Madonna swears by the Zone diet plan, but if she looks great, it’s also because she spends 2 hours working out on those famous dance routines.

The Soup Diets Hype

delilah — Mon, 15 Oct 2007 18:11:13 +0200

delilah — Mon, 19 Nov 2007 15:27:10 +0100

13 - The Sugar Busters Diet

delilah — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 16:03:46 +0100

As the name suggests, you say a fond farewell to sugar, adding a whole new dimension to the phrase to “parting is such sweet sorrow.” Sugar supposedly produces insulin, and insulin blocks efforts to lose weight.

14 - The South Beach Diet

delilah — Mon, 03 Dec 2007 15:14:05 +0100

The South Beach diet was developed by the renowned cardiologist Dr. Arthur Agatston. It’s divided into three phases, with the first two that you keep to for a specific time frame and the last (or “maintenance”) which you have to follow for life.

What is ketosis dieting all about?

delilah — Wed, 27 Feb 2008 15:29:43 +0100

Delilah's Diet Secrets

delilah — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 16:12:18 +0100

Many of us have tried out most of the diets available on this planet with less or more success. I have already done a big post listing different types of diets. There you can inform yourself about how these different diet programs look like.

1 - Keep a food journal as a source of motivation and control

delilah — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 16:29:23 +0100

In order to monitor my weight I am keeping a food journal. I have actually done that for quite a long time now. I step on my scale every two days to check my weight, which I write down in the journal and in addition I keep track of what I eat.

The vinegar diet

delilah — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 08:38:50 +0200

Just this week it became known that the singer Fergie has her own little diet secret - vinegar. She says she does vinegar shots of two tablespoons as the vinegar flushes out fat of the colon and simply supports the body in digesting food. Furthermore, she feels no ravenous appetite anymore after taking the vinegar. It seems that the the vinegar diet is the next fad diet becoming popular.

Healthy Breakfast Options

delilah — Fri, 02 May 2008 09:18:51 +0200

We all know that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. When we were little our mothers insisted that we have at least something before going to school and by now most of us have experienced that a good and healthy breakfast is really important for having a good start into the day.

Janet Jackson’s diet Jojo

delilah — Fri, 16 May 2008 16:49:40 +0200

As I recently wrote a post about Fergie’s vinegar diet and got lots of good responses I thought it might be worth looking at the dieting habits of some others stars. Looking through different websites I found a few names that were popping up in connection with dieting all the time.
