In fact, stress is a leading factor in causing people to overeat. Focusing so hard on not eating tends to cause us to eat more, so we stress about the fact that we're eating, but we shouldn't be eating and thus, the vicious cycle begins. What we need are some strategies to help us find success with our weight-loss goals. Every time we win the battle with the urge to overeat, we get closer to a healthier body.

According to CNN, it is highly likely that losing weight is the number one goal set by Americans. Obesity is a serious problem in this country, and its numbers are growing every day. Hearing about the latest diets, or someone's plan to lose weight is a frequent topic on television, in the newspaper, and on the covers of magazines. But the fact remains, talking about losing weight is far easier than doing it. As long as the number of overweight adults is high, losing weight will be at the top of the list of New Year's goals. So how does one go about setting reasonable goals? Even more to the point, how can we stick to our plan long enough to achieve them? Losing weight is not easy. If it was, no one would be overweight, and the number of patients being diagnosed with weight-related problems would not be on the rise. But can it be done? Yes. And It's Not About the Diet is here to help you develop a plan that will work for you in the coming months.

These are all headlines that scream at us from the covers of magazines. Whether you hear it on the TV, or around the water cooler, health and our weight are major topics of interest. Americans weigh more now than ever before, and the problem is not going away any time soon. The numbers of patients with diabetes or other weight-related problems are rising. And, as the old saying goes, everybody talks about it, but nobody does anything about it. Does that describe you? Are you just talking about losing weight or are you going to do something about it in 2011? Most people don't realize that it's all about power. So the question becomes, who or what is more powerful? Is it the chocolate chip cookie calling your name, or is it your mindset that you will not allow sugar and flour to determine who you are? The time to take control is now. Waiting only makes things harder and creates more work for us. In essence, if we don't take charge of this very serious, and ever-growing problem now, we will find ourselves tipping the scales at an even-high number this time next year. And we'll still be promising ourselves, our doctors, our family and friends, that we are going to do something about it in the New Year. Do you need some inspiration to get going?

Even when we love the holidays, a lot of the joy can be stolen by that nagging little voice that tells us we shouldn't be eating so much. Then there's the "Oh well, I'll start all over again after New Year's Day" approach. The problem with that idea is that we may have put on an additional 5-10 pounds by then. Suddenly, we wake up and realize that we have eaten our way through yet another holiday season. It's frustrating. We're mad at ourselves, and mad at the world. Why does everything have to revolve around eating? Think about it. Whenever we start planning for any event, one of the first things that is mentioned is food. What are we going to serve the guests? Will Sue make her famous Artichoke and Spinach dip? Is anyone going to bring Hanky-Panks? Didn't someone mention a recipe they found for Mexican Fudge they were dying to make? And so it goes. Thanksgiving was only weeks ago, and now there is more turkey and dressing, ham, starchy breads, rich desserts and way too much food in general. What is an overweight person to do? Join It's Not About the Diet for a review of things you can do to be more conscious about what you're putting in your mouth. Get some tips to help you through this final eating blowout of the year before your eat yourself into oblivion.

Thanksgiving is all about the food. Isn't it? That's what a lot of people think. And why not? Americans are big on tradition, and history has it that the first record of Thanksgiving was around 1621 when the Indians and the pilgrims shared a harvest feast. That meal was most likely not turkey, but wild goose or duck. And it is unlikely that there was any pumpkin pie. But who cares? We've got turkey and pumpkin pie now, and by golly, we're going to celebrate by stuffing our faces and our tummies until we can't possibly hold another ounce. It is also unlikely that very many of the pilgrims were overweight, and they did not worry about Thanksgiving weight gain. So while we celebrate a centuries-old occasion, we have modified it to a more modern idea of how things ought to be. In other words, we rewrite history to fit the way we do things today. The result is a society with health problems our ancestors did not even know about, much less had to deal with. There is a fine line between celebrating to the fullest and eating until we are full enough to pop. Can you lose weight over Thanksgiving? Of course, but don't set the bar too high. It might be wiser to be content to just not gain any weight.

The holidays are upon us again! If you are wondering how that happened, you are not alone. The fresh fruits and vegetables of the summer are gone, and suddenly it's time for all those heavy, fattening foods we associate with celebrating the holiday season. All the hubbub of the holiday season is stressful enough. But add in the fact that we are trying to NOT eat ourselves into oblivion, and our stress-o-meters zip to the high end with lightning speed. It seems the harder we try not to eat, the more our brains focus on the pumpkin pie, leftover dressing and candied sweet potatoes. The next thing we know, we are more stuffed than the turkey sitting on the table, swimming in its own juices. The aromas that waft through the house, the smells of spices and sight of all the food is enough to drive a sane person crazy. And if you've been dieting, it could be a really short trip to crazy-land for you. How about some tips to help you avoid the panic you feel before the feast, and the guilt you feel afterward because you ate more than you should, and somehow just couldn't help yourself? Join It's Not About the Diet for a discussion on how to enjoy the holidays and not find yourself saying "I can't believe I ate the whole thing" afterward.00:31:00Its Not About the Dietnoholiday eating,stuffed turkey,tips for a low-stress Thanksgiving,fattening foods,dietingCan you believe it?

We eat when we aren't really hungry, and we eat things that add empty calories. Very often when we're stressed we choose to eat instead of turning to some other activity that doesn't have anything to do with food. But what you may not know is that stress can prevent you from losing weight. That's right! Stress can actually keep you from shedding those pounds. High levels of cortisol, which increase when we are under stress, create negative health conditions that are harmful to our bodies. This can also suppress our levels of dopamine, which is the "feel good" chemical in our brains. The ideal situation is to decrease cortisol and increase dopamine until we have a balance. This enables us to effectively deal with the stress without further harming our bodies. But when there is too much cortisol, our dopamine levels don't stand a chance. Why not join It's Not About the Diet for this information-packed show to learn more about what cortisol is, and what its effects are on the body? Learn how you can decrease cortisol and easily increase dopamine to give you a fighting chance in the battle with stress.00:31:00Its Not About the Dietnoobesity,cortisol levels,dopamine levels,stress and weight loss,feel good brain chemicalWe all know that stress can cause us to gain weight.

The headlines entice us first to buy the magazine because we think there is some magic bullet contained inside. Then we are giving such glowing accounts of how this person, or that person went on the diet and lost a significant amount of weight. We are bombarded with statistics from studies on diet and weight loss, and encouraged to try the latest and greatest eating plan. The magazines give the basics of the diet, and we are left to fend for ourselves, and to determine if that diet is right for us. The magazines then move on to the next latest and greatest way to lose weight and fight obesity, or at least the extra bulges around our waistlines, so that they are able to sell more copies of their magazine next month. We say, enough already! Why must every issue focus on the thing that bothers us most? It's because we are looking for a solution to a problem that is plaguing Americans, and the numbers are growing every day.

The obese person has a hard time finding clothes that fit. They can’t sit comfortably in restaurant booths, movie theater seats, or airline seats. It is not unheard of for an airline to require an obese person to purchase two seats because they cannot fit into one, and the overweight person almost always requires a seat belt extenstion. These are frustrating, annoying and downright embarrassing to have to deal with. But they do not pose problems that can cost an overweight person his or her life. The complications we’re talking about today are far more serious. Some of the things we’ll talk about are how obesity is linked to diabetes, high blood pressure, stroke, sleep apnea, depression, osteoarthritis, abnormal blood fats and cancer, just to name a few.

But in the course of these efforts to take off the pounds, how many times have you wondered if you were going to go crazy before you saw any results? Dieting can make you cranky, irritable, short-tempered, and feeling like you are going to explode at any moment. If you're saying, "been there - done that", then today's show is for you. You see, the process is simply NOT about the diet. Almost any diet will work to some extent. No matter which one you choose, you will see at least a modicum of success. The real test is when you try to eat something besides what is on that particular eating plan. Very often, when you stop eating exactly what is on the plan, your weight loss will turn into pounds regained, and those pounds will probably bring a few more along as company. We all know the dangers of obesity. Everyone knows that we should all work to have healthy nutrition be a significant part of our lives. But what happens when you are trying - really trying, and those pounds don't come off? And even more frustrating is what to do when the efforts to diet turn you into a monster with two heads that nobody recognizes?

It's too bad that isn't true. There should be some way to stop diet fads, but as long as people buy the books that are written about the program that guarantees they will lose weight, somebody will keep writing new diet books. The simple fact is that the problem is not about the diet that a person chooses. There's more going on than just extra pounds, larger-sized clothing and the fact that theater seats are being made bigger. There's more to the problem than an overweight person needing a seat belt extension on an airline flight - or worse, that they are required to purchase to seats because they won't fit into one. Making fun of overweight people is the last acceptable prejudice in society today, and there needs to be a stronger voice standing up for those who are struggling, and losing their battle with the scales. 00:31:00Its Not About the Dietnodiets,weight loss,diet pills,weight loss surgery,overweightEvery so often someone will come out with what they claim is the diet to end all diets.
