What's wrong with extreme dieting and hard-core fitness plans is that they don't take into account the rest of your life.
Environmental concern is a little like dieting or paying off credit-card debt - an episodically terrific idea that burns brightly and then seems to fade when we realize there's a reason we need to diet or pay down our debt. The reason is that it's really really hard and too many of us in too many spheres of life choose the easy over the hard.
Dieting is murder on the road. Show me a man who travels and I'll show you one who eats.
I highly recommend worrying. It is much more effective than dieting.
I started dieting. I dieted dieted dieted and tried all the diets and I would lose and then I would go back to normal eating and would put it on and then some.
Our society's strong emphasis on dieting and self-image can sometimes lead to eating disorders. We know that more than 5 million Americans suffer from eating disorders most of them young women.
I don't believe in dieting.
Technology has a shadow side. It accounts for real progress in medicine but has also hurt it in many ways making it more impersonal expensive and dangerous. The false belief that a safety net of sophisticated drugs and machines stretches below us permitting risky or lazy lifestyle choices has undermined our spirit of self-reliance.
