PERSONALITY PROFILE NUTRITION

Scientific experts have clearly identified that dieting has very little to do with willpower, but everything to do with our own genetic make-up and personality type.  Taking a scientific approach to dieting is simply the key to long standing success.

Having tried almost every diet known to man or I feel as if I have, I achieved my weight loss goals when I learned what my diet personality was, and tailored my diet and exercise to fit my personality profile.

Why personality matters

Identifying a persons weight loss personality will help these points to be understood:

• What motivates and discourages somebody.
• What weight loss approach works and why others fail.
• How to plan the  best strategy for each person to lose weight as easily and successfully as possible, and to keep it off.

Just as we have our own blood types we have our own personality types.  When these are cross matched to the right diet for us, magic happens.

Trying to force ourselves to follow a plan that goes against the grain for our diet personality profile, is like trying to force a right handed person to use their left hand instead. It requires an enormous amount of effort, its frustrating, and although it may get easier with practice, it never feels right, encouraging reverting back to what feels comfortable.  So it is with our diet personality, when our strengths are played up to and our weaknesses are worked around, ultimate success is the result.

Which diet personality are you?

Scientists have identified four distinct personality diet personality types.

1. Feelers
2. Planners
3. Thinkers
4. Doers

Are you a Feeler? 

Feelers are sensitive souls, so they are emotional eaters.  They eat in accord to how they are feeling at the time.  When life is good and things are going to plan, the Feeler finds it relatively easy to eat well and control their intake of food naturally without thinking about it. However, when stress and disorder arrive on their doorstep they descend into chaotic eating patterns, and tend to indulge in comfort foods.

Their weight may tend to yo yo up and down naturally with the ebb and flow of the stresses of life. 

For the Feeler dealing with prolonged and chronic stress, chaotic and indulgent eating becomes the norm, and they may increasingly gain weight causing  more stress and unhappiness, as a vicious circle forms  They may feel helpless and hopeless as their eating spirals out of control. 

 

I'm a Feeler type myself, are you?
