Well said, Jean. Even from my very first diet, I abhored the typical doctors' & nutritionists' diets that plotted out what to eat for each meal for a week or month - 1/4 apple + 1/4 cup cottage cheese, etc. - hunger, preferences and brown apple remnants molding in the fridge be damned. Many of the foods were my trigger foods or insulinogenic, promoting starving & binging, wrecking my metabolism and self-confidence more than being slightly chubby (which is where I started on the rollercoaster of "experts'" diets). I like a WOE that doesn't feel like a diet based on simple principles that I can tweak myself and live on for life.
