Diets exist because there are fat men and women that are not happy with their look or silhouette. That is why they, eventually and with enthusiasm, go trough the sacrifice of making a diet, some of them really brutal. The reasons are vanity in most of the cases, although it could also be for aesthetic, physical or mental health, or couple-related reasons. Awards for these escapes to the abstinence and moderation world don’t come immediately. They start with your belt, when you verify that you can fit your belt a little more. A week after you start your diet, when you are about to send it to hell, you notice you need a smaller belt.

The next stimulus is your shirt. Instead of that bulk you are used to notice on your belly, with lots of wrinkles in the same level, your shirt stays smooth and in place. Few things are most satisfactory than changing your clothes size to a smaller one. Most fat people have in their closet clothes of 3 or 4 different sizes. Every time they go out to a party or meeting they get distressed trying a lot of clothes that don’t fit them, but they don’t dare to give it because they know after the next diet (because there is always a next diet) they will be able to wear them.

I have tried almost all diets. The only ones that work are those given by nutritionists which consist on ingesting fewer calories than those the body burns. From all the other diets, I have tried the one that simply recommends eating less and joying more (joy=sex). It has two disadvantages though. The first is that it opens the appetite. The second, the worst, is that if you are too fat there are not many volunteers to joy with enough frequency. That’s why it’s better to follow a no-carbohydrates diet before starting with this one.

When you get the first 22-33 pounds weight loss, it will be easier to find someone to joy with, and the options to continue with it seem to be unlimited. The bad thing about diets and everything else is that if you don’t continue with them, the process goes back, inevitably. Our silhouettes tend to be like the one of our parents or grandparents, and if you insist on defying this genetic imperative, you can end up as an anorexic or another similar health problem.

It’s better to be fat even if your clothes don’t fit and don’t have much joy, but without exaggerating. The point is: have a diet from time to time.
