Use 'Diet' as a Noun

by John H Sklare

"Let me ask you a question: When you think of the word diet, do you think of it as a noun or a verb? The answer to that question may well explain why “dieting” is difficult for so many of you.

Those who struggle the most with weight loss and lifestyle change are those who intend to change their eating habits only for the short-term. The problem with short-term commitment is that it typically results in short-term success at best. The key to successful long-term lifestyle change lies in finding and nurturing a lifelong commitment.

So back to my initial question regarding how you view the word diet. According to the dictionary, diet is defined as follows: “What a person or animal usually eats and drinks: daily fare.

In this definition, diet is a noun that refers to the food you eat as part of your regular daily nutritional intake. In this way, diet is defined as your nutritional lifestyle. It’s when you think of diet as a verb that you get into trouble. The truth is, being successful at long-term weight loss is really all about whether you’re truly committed to lifestyle change or just involved in dieting. It all comes down to whether you see diet as a noun or a verb! How do you see this word?"
