It’s about meeting your nutritional needs on a daily basis while having the flexibility to choose your favorite foods from within the five food groups: fruits, vegetables, grains, protein, and dairy. For those who find traditional dieting constraining and downright ineffective, flexible dieting might be just the thing that moves the scale.
“Those who followed flexible dieting were more successful at achieving weight loss and were able to maintain it,” says, an associate professor in the Health and Wellness Studies Division at Binghamton University. She says that rigid dieting wasn’t as successful and came with a lot of anxiety and a pattern of stress.
Part of the impact of flexible dieting comes from how it impacts the brain. Dieting can have a nasty effect on us because, from an evolutionary perspective, the body doesn’t like to lose weight. If you tell yourself that you shouldn’t be eating, your brain will constantly think about food. But if you eat healthy, go with the flow, and only eat when you’re hungry, you won’t think about it as much, says Begdache.
