15 Truths Anyone “On a Diet” Can Relate To

Food | Lifestyle

Let’s talk about the dreaded “D” word: dieting. Diets have gotten a bad rap over the years, and not entirely without reason. Fad diets, juice cleanses, and ineffective workout strategies have all played their part in making dieting seem totally miserable.

It’s not all doom and gloom—there are plenty of diets that are both healthy and delicious!—but the truth is, any lifestyle change comes with its own set of challenges.

Diets aren’t just for weight loss. Ditching the junk food and switching to healthier snacks is a great way to gain energy and improve your overall health. But no matter your diet goals, you will almost certainly relate to these non-negotiable truths about being “on a diet.”

1. When will you start your diet? Monday, obviously.

“I mean next Monday,” said every dieter ever.

2. That feeling when you find out how many calories your favorite snack contains.

3. Your first day at the gym feels like this:

We’ve all gotta start somewhere. It’ll get easier!

4. But after a week or two, you can actually feel yourself getting stronger.

Just make sure your reward won’t sabotage your diet. Buy yourself that new pair of shoes or that book you’ve been wanting instead.

12. Pretty soon, you’ll start to see results.
