The word is getting out about the pointlessness of diets!

Another programme that smacks the dieting industry around the face and tells you to eat whatever you like and start taking care of YOU is Beyond Chocolate. You can sign up to their free newsletter here.

Here's what they say about diets, new years resolutions...oh, and Relentlessly Positive!

Happy new you!

So, we're four days into 2008. That's three mornings of waking up resolved and really ready to make this new year different. Two nights of going to bed feeling smug and saintly at our success, having cut down, cut back or cut out altogether whatever we normally crave. And in ten days' time? Well, we'll protest, we did try - but, somehow, life got in the way...

That's the trouble with resolutions: they're all about what we can't do, rather than what we can. The minute we tell ourselves that we shouldn't, we oughtn't, we mustn't, our little inner devil takes up position, ready to aim a swipe at our halo and lead us off down the path of hellfire and damnation.

Hopes and dreams, on the other hand, focus on possibilities rather than impossibilities. They encourage us to flourish not flounder. They say 'Be more...not 'Be less...!' They remind us that we should aim to live bigger not smaller lives. The website Relentlessly Positive knows this. It declares on its homepage:"We're dedicated to making people feel good." Join its New Year's Revolution and make the one resolution you can stick to - "Be nice to the person who you're expecting to do all the work: you."

This week, every magazine and newspaper in the land is competing for our lucre, luring us in with the latest weight-loss plan and wily promises that, this time, it'll be different. If you need any more evidence that it won't, then ponder this - in the course of her lifetime, the average British woman spends 31 years on a diet, reported Ipsos Mori, and expects to shell out £150,000 on getting into shape, according to a survey by More.

Tune in to what you really want. If one of your dreams for 2008 is to ditch the diets but still lose weight, then spend a fraction of that time and money and do something that isn't just for January - come on a Beyond Chocolate 1 Day Experience.
