Simple Effective Weight Loss Home What is a "Heroic Diet"?Here is an excerpt from Part One of The Multi-Diet that explains what a
"heroic diet" is. (Preview: Another "literary device". -- ed.
The Heroic DietAny time you lose control of the Eight Vital Factors and wake The Beast, the Multi-Diet quickly degenerates into a Heroic Diet. I use the term "Heroic" for this type of diet because once The Beast wakes up, you will have to fight heroically day and night just to stay on the diet at all---right up to the time The Beast wins anyway. All diets that I've ever tried or heard of are more or less heroic---because they force you to use will---power to make up for their deficiencies in understanding and technique. Heroic diets always fail to provide enough of something you must have in order to stay healthy. This "wakes The Beast" almost immediately. Then it does all those things that make you miserable and use up your willpower and limit the amount of time you can stay on the diet or maintain your Calorie deficit. Not only that, but it almost seems as if The Beast remembers that diet! And it often won't let you go back on that type of diet for months, if ever. (Actually, it doesn't really "remember". There's a much simpler explanation for the effect. But the result is the same. See MORE ON... THE THRESHOLD THEORY.) Heroic Diets are always "willpower" diets (no matter what other name their authors give them.) A willpower diet is any diet on which you find yourself thinking about food most of the time and forcing yourself not to eat. Once you understand and can properly control the Multi-Diet's Eight Vital Factors, will-power diets will be a thing of the past, because you'll rarely even be aware you're on a 1200-1500 calorie per day diet, much less have to force yourself to stay on it.
