This is not trusting our inner wisdom. And, the more you get away from yourself the more you lose one of your most important senses - your sense of feeling. Studies have shown that all industrial countries are having the same problems and that these problems come from losing one's sense of feeling. I am not referring to the basic rules that every culture needs in order to make life and communication possible. I am talking about the rules and beliefs that you follow instead of making choices based on your own experiences and your own research.
Diets are something, that especially women, start doing around the age of fourteen or so.
They start dieting because their parents or friends do. However, diets are mental concepts that only fit for the person who is doing the dieting. And, they only work for a certain amount of time. Diets are never for the masses. A diet should simply be a process that leads a person from unconscious eating to conscious eating.
