Tag: All or nothing thinking

According to research published by institutions like Utah State University, approximately 95% of people who lose weight through dieting regain it within a few years, a statistic that highlights the root cause behind the all-too-common phrase, "the diet starts Monday". This statement is more than just a passing comment; it represents a cycle of all-or-nothing thinking, guilt, and procrastination that can sabotage long-term health goals.

Research indicates that people on highly restrictive diets are five times more likely to develop an eating disorder compared to those who do not diet. This is why the common concern, "Will one bite of cake ruin my diet?", is far more about mindset than a single morsel of food.
