Not much of it applies to the problem of obesity in the larger (pardon the expression) sense.

Very valid point, Barb.

Sustainable diet is key. It has been that for me.
I had to figure out what would be sustainable for me and I did that. I'm not zero carb or even very low carb. I actually don't count. But, I do not eat pizza, pasta, bread and rarely eat potatoes.
In my experience, during weight loss is the time to figure out how to eat that will be sustainable for life. Not after when you are in maintenance. Dr. Atkins was a wise man putting the OWL carb ladder into his multi phased plan.
I had to change the way I eat permanently. I did that and am 100% comfortable with the way I eat now.

Yup! You got that right! I will never have money as I'm always broke. |
