When I saw a question on Quora that looked like it was about a cereal and soup diet I just had to check it out and answer it.

The thing is however, is when I answer questions on Quora I don’t have the full information that I get from my coaching clients, which makes sense because I work with my coaching clients directly, in real-time over the phone. Coaching my permanent weight loss coaching clients is vastly different than answering blind questions on Quora.
With that being said, when I answered the question “What are the risks of having an only soup and cereal diet?” I couldn’t help but wonder if this is a new diet fad and when I wrote my reply to this question, I might have sounded a little incredulous. It’s possible I didn’t understand the question as I really don’t have all of the information. For example, is the person asking this question asking it because the only thing they have available to eat is soup and cereal? Or, do they think that eating cereal and soup is a good idea for losing weight?
Like I said, I don’t have all of the information which I would get from a coaching client if they asked me if eating cereal and soup only and forever would be a good idea.
Doesn’t Everyone Know How to Eat Healthy and Clean?
I tend to think that with all of the healthy diet and exercise information that is available today that everyone must already be aware of proper nutrition and what is necessary to live a healthy lifestyle. But what if I’m wrong about that?
Additionally, when I look back several years into my past, I used to live on food found only in the freezer section of the grocery store! I didn’t have a clue about what it took to release fat from the body back then. It’s easy to forget about that when it’s so far in the past though.
The Cereal and Soup Diet. A New Diet Fad?
I decided to do a quick Facebook live video to follow up on the answer I gave on Quora to this topic of the cereal and soup diet, just in case my reply on Quora might have sounded flippant in any way.

As far as the cereal and soup diet goes, keep in mind that a healthy lifestyle includes whole foods including protein, fruits, vegetables, and carbohydrates. Almost all processed cereal has the main ingredient of sugar and processed soups are extremely high in sodium. Neither processed cereal nor processed soup are whole foods. The problem with living healthy and fit is this: if you don’t have the right mindset to do it, then you won’t. Why? Because it’s too easy to keep living the processed food way of life, which easily leads to overweight and obesity.
The good news is that once you get a weight loss mindset, you’ll already have 92.8% of the challenge solved. Mindset is the biggest piece of the puzzle. Get a weight loss mindset and then you will want to live healthy and fit because it will just be who you are. You won’t sabotage yourself any longer because you won’t have a fight to fight. Right now, if you are fighting against eating healthy and living fit, it’s only you who you are fighting against. You and your own mindset.
A weight loss mindset frees you of that fight. A weight loss mindset does not look for fad diets or magical cures for your overweight and overeating problems. A weight loss mindset takes full responsibility for your results and moves forward with solid changes with full commitment to those healthy changes without any excuses. A weight loss mindset makes living healthy and fit easy to do.
The topic of a weight loss mindset might not have been what you expected to get to in an article about the cereal and soup diet (which might not even be a diet, have you ever heard of such a thing?) but these two topics fit together perfectly. Why? Because if a person had a weight loss mindset they would not have resistance to eating healthy, eating whole foods, and eating only when physically hungry.
NOTE: emotional eaters, binge eaters, sugar addicts and food addicts do not eat for physical hunger. Folks who are struggling with overeating and overweight are not eating for physical hunger but for other reasons. It’s those other reasons that need healing. It’s those other reasons that are in the way of your achievement of your ideal body. Those other reasons are not fixed or solved with a food diet. Food diets are food diets. They aren’t the solution that solves what caused you to become overweight in the first place.
Are you getting this? Is this making sense? Does it make sense that it’s those other reasons that need to be healed if you are serious about losing weight and keeping it off? Does it make sense that if those other reasons were healed that then you wouldn’t try any more fad diets to lose weight? Why would you look for any kind of diet if you didn’t have an overeating problem anymore?
Make sense?
