3 Inevitable phases every dieter goes through and why its important to move participants through each one.
Over the years, dieter go through three phases of their
diet journey and intentionally they should go through it.
Phase 1 - The "Satvik" Phase
Everything is calculated - Calories, Food weighed. You're obsessed with
nutrition all day. Zero sugar, careful with oil.
This is pure focus mode - all about weight loss and health. That's the only
conversation you have.
Phase 2: The "Simran" Phase
After 3 months? Total frustration hits. "Is this life? I can't live like
this!"
You tell yourself "this diet stuff doesn't matter" and completely
relapse for 2 weeks.
You eat everything, gain some weight, and come back saying "Wow, I forgot
how easy it is to lose control."
I actually FORCE my participants to experience this phase. Because you need to
taste that loss of control to truly understand it.
Phase 3: The "Shanti" Phase
This is conscious eating. You've done your strict phase. You've done your rebel
phase.
Now you're balanced - 90% of the day you eat well, 10% you allow indulgence.
Overall calories stay controlled. No weight gain or loss. No addiction. Just
conscious awareness.
This isn't just sustainable - it's freedom.
Most diet programs try to keep you in Phase 1 forever.
I've learned that real transformation happens when you embrace all three phases
and land in Shanti.
