List of bad diet habits

[digitalbath11]

Hey everyone!

I found this on the Pauline Nordin's site http://fighterdiet.com/blog which I read everyday, but I found yesterday's post quite interesting:

"So, on demand, 10 BAD diet habits:

1. Insisting on abusing refeeds as stupid cheat days with crap food
2. Refeeding without first seeing increased leanness
3. Not reading labels or stop half way down on it
4. Believing in protein bars being good for your health
5. Not realizing nutritious foods still have calories and can make you gain fat when eaten in excess
6. Not realizing all those ?I just eat a little of it? add up to a big surplus of calories
7. Not accepting one day of clean eating does not do the trick, it takes several.
8. Not getting the concept consistency with the diet
9. Undereating veggies
10. Refusing to accept if you don?t sacrifice, you won?t gain any results.
11. Finding it unfair you cannot have exactly what you want all the time.
12. Hunger is NOT the same as having cravings.
13. Thinking you will die from some deprivation of your favorite foods.
14. Wanting super extreme results in a week while you?ve been working on getting fat for years
15. Thinking 700 calories calorie burn on the machine makes it ok to eat 700 more calories and still lose fat.
Ok, so it got to more than 10. I could give you 100!"

I know I'm guilty of a few in here.

Just thought I should share.

LOL A label being that long is probably the first sign you need to put the product back.

Pauline Nordin is awesome. Thanks for sharing.

I aways love what Pauline Nordin has to say, i think she is right on the money. I just wish she would come out with a book. I dont like reading long stuff on line and my printer is not working at this time. Have you bought any of her ebooks? if so which one.

Actually, it's funny because I have been reading her blog for a couple of days.
While I admire her determination, willpower and immense concentration on training and diet, one thing is bugging me. She talks a lot about how other people have unhealthy eating habits, how they basically eat crap. Also, she talks a lot about pesticides, hormones, antibiotics and plastic. But is it healthy to stay around the 12% body fat year round?
What about her reproductive health? Isn't it likely that she will have osteoporosis some time in the future?
Yes, she is incredibly lean and has complete changed her body composition in the years she has been training. But how is it healthy to maintain such a low body fat percentage?
I just don't get it...

Well, it seems to be an obvious personal choice at this point. You could bulk and cut, bulk and cut, rinse and repeat, but she chooses to be that lean year round. It's a commitment greater than what I can understand. I'm more than positive that with her knowledge, she realizes the consequences of her choices, and with that, I cannot judge. Just like I cannot judge someone who chooses an unhealthy style of living, while being very concious of the consequences (i.e. smokers, people with diabetes who eat like crap, etc).

What I take from it is the motivation, determination, and the consistency that she does teach.

As for her e-book, I've been tossing around on getting it. I think I will, and will certainly post a review.

P.S. Since reading her blogs, I've discovered the wonders of salmon and mustard. So good things did come from it!
