Dieting by Zodiac.., sorry I couldn't resist

Aquarius: Jan 20 - Feb 18


Diet Personality
Aquarians are often drawn to the mysterious. Fad diets, herbal supplements, diet pills and food combining appeal to the Aquarian dieter. However, the Aquarius logical mind quickly realises that a healthy weight loss program is necessary for fat loss and lowering cholesterol. A low-fat diet and regular exercise is essential for Aquarians to avoid circulatory problems.

Diet Strengths
Aquarians optimistic nature makes starting a weight loss program fun. Temptation to go off their diet is not a problem for Aquarians who are strong and independent. Planning a diet and exercise program is easy for the calm and logical Aquarian. Some flexibility in their weight loss program is important as Aquarians do not like being pinned down.

Diet Weaknesses
But weight loss can be more difficult for the Aquarian who has fixed opinions. Losing weight requires change and Aquarians should not be afraid to change their ideas on how to lose weight. Aquarians unpredictable nature can turn them from the perfect dieter one day to the binge eater the next! A lack of confidence can prevent the Aquarian from tackling their weight problem.

PISCES (19 Feb - 20 Mar)

Diet Personality
A Piscean may decide to go on a weight loss diet, then immediately eat a cream cake! Pisceans say one thing one moment, then do the opposite. Idealistic Pisceans are drawn to fad diets, gimmicks and diet pills. They believe the adverts that promise 'lose weight fast without changing your diet'. Pisceans have a sensitive system and should choose a healthy balanced diet plan and take regular exercise. They should avoid diet pills as Pisceans often react badly to drugs.

Diet Strengths
Piscean dieters are good organisers and once they decide to start a weight loss diet they plan it well. Pisceans enjoy good food so it is important to choose a varied diet with a good choice of healthy diet foods. To stick with their diet and exercise program, Pisceans should use their wonderful imagination to visualise how they want to look when they lose weight.

Diet Weaknesses
But making the decision to go on a weight loss diet is difficult for the indecisive Piscean. Ideally, someone else will suggest that a new diet and exercise program is a good idea! Diet support is important for Pisceans who are easily influenced and highly emotional. A critical comment can put Pisceans off their diet plan and a minor worry can drive them to bingeing.

ARIES (21 March - 19 April)

Diet Personality
Ariens start a diet with great enthusiasm, but unless they lose weight fast they soon give up their diet and move on to something new - maybe another diet. Their need for excitement attracts them to fad diets and weight loss gimmicks. Ariens dislike of restrictions and their impulsive nature makes it difficult for them to stick to a diet and exercise plan long enough for them to lose weight.

Diet Strengths
Weight loss for Ariens can be extremely successful if they apply their many positive qualities. Ariens love of a challenge and their great desire to succeed will make sticking to their diet and exercise plan easy. Ariens interest in their health and appearance makes obesity unacceptable. Their strong willpower can lead to easy weight loss and makes weight control part of Ariens life.

Diet Weaknesses
But weight loss can be difficult for Ariens when they allow their negative side to take over. Aries start diets regularly but their lack of staying power means they rarely stick with their diet plan for long. Low calorie diets and promises of fast weight loss appeal to Arien dieters but, long term, prevents them from losing weight.

TAURUS (20 April-20 May)

Diet Personality
A sensible diet plan suits most Taurean dieters. They are not attracted to fad diets. Typical Taureans will not lose weight fast as they have a slow metabolism and dislike exercise. Taureans are methodical, so following a diet plan comes easy to them. Their enormous patience ensures that they stick with their weight loss program and lose fat even if their weight loss is slow.

Diet Strengths
Weight loss for Taureans is slow but certain! They do not like risk so they choose a sensible diet plan. Taureans are steady and methodical so find it easy to follow a good weight loss program. Their main strength, which many other dieters lack, is their patience. They will stick with their diet and exercise program no matter how long it takes them to lose weight.

Diet Weaknesses
Sometimes however, Taurean dieters dislike of change can make it difficult for them to change to a healthy diet and exercise program. Taurean obesity is the result of a combination of things - a sweet tooth, a slow metabolism, a love of rich food and wine and a self-indulgent streak! Even worse, Taureans dislike exercise.

GEMINI (21 May - 20 June)


Diet Personality
Geminis are the lucky ones when it comes to diet and weight loss. They often have a fast metabolism which means they burn calories quickly and, as result, lose weight fast. Geminis love change, so starting a new diet plan will not worry them. However, Geminis do want fast weight loss and quickly get bored with a diet that does not produce rapid results. Since quick weight loss (i.e. fat loss) is an illusion, this can cause problems for the Gemini dieter!

Diet Strengths
Geminis have many positive qualities that help them to diet. They love change and a new diet will inspire Gemini to lose weight. Their optimistic nature means that once they know how to lose weight they will embrace the idea and expect to succeed. The sceptical Gemini will not be fooled by fad diets and promises of instant weight loss. Geminis chances of success are increased by examining a weight loss diet plan carefully before deciding to try it.

Diet Weaknesses
But Geminis fickle nature can make sticking to a diet very difficult. The impractical Gemini will find it hard to cope with a diet plan that is too complicated. Also, Geminis can become obsessed with fast weight loss and may weigh themselves several times a day. Unless they lose weight fast and see quick results Geminis become bored with their diet and give up.

CANCER (21 June -22 July)

Diet Personality
The Cancerian dieter can spend years worrying about their obesity problem. Rarely do they take immediate action to find a good diet and exercise program. Cancerians are great cooks and good planners, so a varied diet with interesting recipes ensures they lose weight. Fad diets are not for the Cancerian dieter who will take time to choose a weight loss program that suits their lifestyle.

Diet Strengths
For successful weight loss, patience is the greatest Cancerian asset. Cancerians are great cooks and have well stocked larders so dieting is never boring. Once Cancerians get started on a diet and exercise program they are tenacious and will hang in there until they lose fat and get fit.

Diet Weaknesses
But weight loss is difficult for the Cancerian who LOVES to feed themselves and others! Cancerians diet plan may get in the way of their desire to feed family and friends. Cancerians are set in their ways so a diet and exercise program that disrupts their life will not work. Sticking to a diet can be difficult for the moody Cancerian who has a tendency to eat for comfort.

LEO (23 July - 22 August)

Diet Personality
Leos are drawn to fad diets, weight loss gimmicks and promises of fast weight loss. Leos like everything they do to be exciting and the newest diet or weight loss program will grab their attention. When it comes to weight loss, Leos best and most useful asset is their enthusiasm, together with their desire to succeed. Leos have very high standards and need to remember that weight loss is not about being perfect. A diet and exercise plan that gives some freedom is best for Leos.

Diet Strengths
Successful weight loss depends on good organisation and planning, and Leo is excellent at both. Leos will not only plan their own diet and exercise program but their family and friends weight loss programs as well! Leos enthusiasm will ensure their diet gets off to a great start and the high standards they set themselves will not allow them to give up their diet program easily.

Diet Weaknesses
But weight loss can be difficult for the over-enthusastic Leo who may choose a fad diet or a very low calorie diet which is impossible to stick to. Leos need for excitement can prevent them from choosing a healthy, balanced weight loss diet in favour of some dietary gimmick. A bad day can put the Leo dieter off completely. Leos high standards mean they expect to be the best and they get very upset when they go off their diet and consume extra calories.

VIRGO (23 August - 22 Sept)

Diet Personality
Virgos desire for perfection makes it difficult to stick to a weight loss diet plan long enough to lose weight. One bad day can put them off! However, Virgos practicality and attention to detail makes successful weight control possible. Virgos have high energy levels so a weight loss program should include a regular exercise routine that will burn calories quickly and reduce fat.

Diet Strengths
Sticking to a diet plan or weight loss program is easy for Virgos who are organised and practical. When Virgos diet they are dedicated and not easily put off their diet plan. Virgos care about good health and will choose a sensible weight loss diet. Fad diets, or celebrity diets are not for them. Virgos desire to be perfect will ensure relatively fast weight loss and long term weight control.

Diet Weaknesses
But, weight loss can be difficult for Virgos who are never quite happy with themselves. Virgos expect too much from themselves and others, so unless they lose weight fast, unless their diet and exercise plan is perfect, they give up. Virgos desire to lose weight may cause them to cut corners. They may reduce calories too much in order to lose fat fast and end up binge eating because they are so hungry.

LIBRA (23 Sept - 22 Oct)

Diet Personality
Librans hope that if they wait long enough their obesity or high cholesterol problem will go away! Librans have a slow metabolism and put on weight easily. This, together with their dislike of exercise and the Libran sweet tooth makes weight loss difficult. However, Librans are very aware of their appearance and appreciate how weight control, diet and exercise helps to maintain their good looks.

Diet Strengths
Vanity is Librans greatest asset when it comes to fat loss! Librans adapt well to new situations so starting a weight loss plan or a new diet and exercise program will not cause them any problems. Librans think before they act and will spend time choosing the best diet for them. High energy levels makes exercise a must for Librans who generally excel at fast-moving games.

Diet Weaknesses
Librans dislike of discipline can make sticking to a weight loss diet plan difficult. Their love of lounging and dislike of exercise means their calories convert quickly to fat! Librans have a slow metabolism which makes exercise an important part of their weight loss program. Fast weight loss is not easy for Librans who love good food and wine and enjoy entertaining.

SCORPIO (23 Oct - 21 Nov)

Diet Personality
Sticking to a weight loss program or following a diet and exercise plan comes easy to Scorpios who are positive and determined. Scorpio is able to follow strict diet rules. To lose weight successfully, Scorpios must immerse theirselves in their diet plan- no half measures will do! Scorpios enthusiasm and organisational skills makes weight loss a certainty.

Diet Strengths
Fast weight loss is easier for Scorpio than any other sign. Once they start, they stick to their diet plan and are determined to succeed. A positive outlook plus an orderly mind can help Scorpios overcome all weight loss obstacles. Scorpios make things work even when the going gets tough!

Diet Weaknesses
But sticking to a weight loss diet plan is difficult for Scorpios when the negative side of their character is dominant. Scorpios resent the restrictions that a weight loss diet plan places on them and they will not want to count calories or fat. Scorpios tend to overdo things and should avoid very low calorie diets, fad diets and excessive exercise.

SAGITTARIUS (22 Nov - 21 Dec)

Diet Personality
Sagittarian dieters need a varied diet plan that gives them freedom. Sagittarians try to take on too much. Typically, they start a weight loss program, an exercise program and a new job all at the same time! Weight loss for Sagittarian hips and thighs is difficult. Sagittarians do not have the patience to count calories but they want to lose weight fast. Calories from alcohol should be limited for health as well as fat loss.

Diet Strengths
Sagittarians begin a weight loss diet with enthusiasm. Their optimistic nature means they expect fat loss and weight control to be trouble-free. Sagittarians adapt well to a new diet and like to finish what they start. Exercise is important to all Sagittarians.

Diet Weaknesses
But weight loss is hard for Sagittarians who take on too much. Lack of planning and impatience makes sticking to a diet difficult. Sagittarians are not domesticated so they need a diet plan with simple meals. Weight management is not easy for the indulgent Sagittarian!

CAPRICORN (22 Dec - 19 Jan)

Diet Personality
Capricorn dieters are so single-minded that once they decide to diet they will lose weight fast. A strict diet plan appeals to the unbending Capricorn. However, if their weight loss plan goes wrong, Capricorns blame other people and other things - it is never their fault! Capricorns are hard to satisfy so, make your weight loss goals realistic.

Diet Strengths
Capricorns have many strengths which help them to diet and lose weight, even if obesity is a problem. Capricorn organising skills and desire for routine makes sticking to a diet and exercise program easy. A weight loss diet that is practical, with strict rules, is ideal for the single-minded Capricorn.

Diet Weaknesses
But weight loss is difficult for the less confident Capricorn. Capricorns do not welcome advice about how to lose weight, diet, exercise or anything else. They believe they know best! Their tendency to focus exclusively on one thing can mean that their diet and exercise is put on hold.
