A new dieting tips report has been launched on the Health Care For Men site, a specialist website for detailed features and reports on how people can better manage their health and promote healthy living. Called How to Avoid What-The-Hell Effect, it covers the phenomenon that is firstly registered among dieters, who tend to give up completely when they break their goal for a particular day.
More information can be found on the Health Care For Men site at: http://healthcareformen.info.
The website has a wide range of regularly posted reports on all manner of healthy living subjects, from dieting to the health benefits of sweating, how to replenish electrolytes, and how to prevent injuries. Recent reports include the negative effects of eating late, what can trigger gout, and how the need for approval can ruin relationships.
The latest report on the what-the-hell effect, which can cause diets to fail completely, is based on research by Janet Polivy and Peter Herman, who found that because of a sense of guilt after failing to meet a daily target, dieters can often feel bad about themselves, which leads to further indulgence.
Health Care For Men explains that this effect can cause dieters to give up for one single fault, losing sight of the main purpose of dieting in the first place. The report emphasises that dieters often try to break the rules when they are too strict in the first place. Because of this, when setting the terms for a diet, it is best to set realistic goals that leave room for occasional errors.
In addition to this, the report says that psychologists have discovered that the what-the-hell effect can affect many other areas as well as dieting. The people who experience the effects of it in one area are also likely to experience it in other areas. It becomes a form of self sabotage that can undermine efforts to maintain good habits.
The report breaks down a list of the best ways to avoid the what-the-hell effect, offering tips for those who might be dealing with it or worried about facing it in their own life
