Diet: Don't Obsess About Food

One of the dangers of dieting is the 'diet mentality'. The constant
need to weigh, measure, count and account for food that most dieters
feel can become an obsession with food that comes close to that
experienced by someone with an eating disorder. Is it possible to
lose weight without becoming obsessed with food?

Dr. David Katz, author of "The Way to Eat", suggests a better way.
While it's important to balance the calories you eat with the
calories you burn, he says, it's not necessary to obsess about food
by counting every calorie. Instead, he suggests, focus on eating
well for your health and permanent weight loss will follow.
