South Beach, Atkins, Mediterranean, Cabbage Soup, Zone, Cheaters, Body for Life, Shangri-La…I’m sure you heard and know the words above. Fancy words promising a slimmer, voluptuous and slender body. Some works but some not. Why is this so?

Board Certified Hypnotherapist John Seth has an answer: “Diets judge their success by the number of pounds lost rather than by the true objectives: increased energy, feeling good about yourself, and looking good in your clothes again.” ‘Everything begins with thought. Your thinking determines your beliefs, your attitudes, your expectations, and ultimately your outcomes.” The bestselling author and speaker added.

Ever heard about the Happiness Diet? Yes, there is actually a diet named after a blissful feeling we all love. A diet that focuses not on losing weight but on gaining health. Afterall, people doesn’t want to loose something.

Unlike other diets, the Happiness diet promotes having fun and doing the things we like in form of physical activities and human interaction. Exercising, nature trips or even a simple walk in the park, as long you enjoy it, is encouraged. This is the diet when every meal is a Happy Meal!
