Why diets don't typically work!
Millions of people start diets every single day of every year all over the world but often report how they they fail miserably in achieving their goals. People start diets for all kinds of reasons, mainly to lose weight, and often blame the diet rather than other reasons for them not losing weight.
However, failure is not limited to weight loss diets. Anyone embarking on an unfamilar eating pattern for any length of time can find it challenging and might be struggling to stick with it.
Diet's don't work for all kinds of reasons such as people not sticking to them for long enough, seeing the short term gains and thinking that's enough to go back to eating their regular diet, not planning enough, or not having enough support to stick with it, etc.
When we're talking about autoimmune inflammatory diets there are plenty on the market and seem to provide a variety of options for people wanting to reduce or eliminate their autoimmune symptoms.
Most will restrict certain food types that eliminate e.g., dairy and meat, and limit the supply of some nutrients which can be contributing to triggering chronic inflammation in the body.
When restriction or elimination of essential nutrients is encouraged for autoimmune diseases we have to be sure there is science behind the diet, it's been tested well by countless others, and is only followed for a short period of time enough to effect the inflammatory symptoms that we're experiencing.
Continuing a restricted diet for too long can be just as problematic in terms of malnutrition or undernutrition as it is for not sticking with it for long enough.
Can chronic inflammation associated with an autoimmune
condition be eliminated through diet?
We often know the kinds of things that help us to feel good and the kinds of things that don't. However, once symptoms of chronic inflammation set in, especially when they are serious as they are for many of us with autoimmune diseases, we're often not in the best place to easily make changes, and instead rely on medications to help to do it for us.
Medications to manage inflammation can be powerful, however the side effects can be intolerable over the long term. Clearing the inflammation can work really quick, but without making acute and longterm lifestyle changes it's very probable we'll have a reoccurance of our symptoms or the medication just won't be powerful or appropriate enough to clear all our symptoms.
In the last couple of decades there's been a proliferation of published scientific discoveries highlighting how all kinds of inflammatory conditions especially autoimmune diseases can be reversed by making moderate changes to our lifestyle.
Chronic inflammation can be prevented and eliminated by consuming a low inflammatory/calorific well-balanced nutritious diet, being more active, reducing stress, getting good quality sleep, eliminating smoking and alcohol, and enjoying positive social connections!
Imagine what it would feel like if you could wake up everyday ready to jump out of bed and didn't have to worry about the ill effects of having an autoimmune condition. How much of your energy, time and money could be spent on doing healthier, and more enjoyable and productive things instead?!
It doesn't have to be complicated resolving chronic inflammation through diet, however, it can be very challenging and many do struggle to stick with it without expert psychological support from someone who knows what you're going through.
