Dealing With the Effects of Quarantine
where to focus
More than a year of disrupted life may have you struggling to establish a new balance. If your appetite is causing you problems, it is worth remembering that there is right way to use appetite suppresants and a wrong way.You should naturally eat less when you take them, so weight loss is a natural result. However, if that is the only reason you are losing weight then you will probably start gaining it back as soon as you stop taking the medications.
After a year and a half of a pandemic, you need some new habits as the world opens back up. Medications (along with consistent behavior) can help you establish new habits without an out-of-control appetite sabotaging you day after day.

The Problem with All Those Diets
Has it ever occurred to you how strange it is that low fat diets and low carb diets all work?If fat is the problem then the low carb diet shouldn't work and if carbs are the problem then the low fat diet shouldn't work. So how can both types work?
While we are on the subject. Why are there so many diets? Every diet you have ever heard of works. If a diet doesn't work for the majority of people you will never hear about it. But if you hear about it, it works.
It gets even more confusing when you realize that every one of those diets is based on a different theory of nutrition. How could they possibly all be right?
Here's the simple explanation - they don't work for the reasons that they claim to work. The truth of the matter is that there is not a single theory in the field of nutrition that can predict outcomes for individuals. Yes all those diets may work for enough people that you have heard of them but that DOES NOT mean they will work for you!
Take some comfort in the fact that you will never understand nutrition. It is far, far too complicated for our feeble brains to fully comprehend. Fortunately, your understanding is not required at all. We are the only species that even has a concept of nutrtition and also the only species that consistently gets it wrong!
A lack of information has never been your problem. If anything, you have too much useless information in your head. Nutrition may be complicated but getting properly nourished is not complicated at all! It's about biology, not willpower. Give us a chance to get your head straight. You won't be disappointed.
