“The secret to losing weight isn’t really a secret at all – It’s simple and it’s free. I’ll get to that later in the post, but first I want to give you some background.
In the past, it was difficult for me to lose weight because I chose to believe it was complicated. I chose to believe that thin people had a special genetic makeup that allowed them to be thin and that the only way I could be thin again was to find a magic solution. I never found that solution. I tried Atkins, South Beach, and other diet fads to lose weight and they worked for a while, but I always bounced back to where I started. Diet plans worked temporarily because they got me to change my lifestyle temporarily. As soon as I reverted to my old lifestyle the weight returned.”

I have adjusted my diet because of my intolerance of sugar. A lifestyle change is definitely what it’s all about.
The trick is not to “diet,” but to make a lifestyle change. There’s a reason the final phase of most “diets” is “lifetime maintainance.” I’ve been on Atkins for 2 1/2 years now and don’t plan on ever stopping. It’s not a diet anymore; it’s a sustainable lifestyle with food that is delicious and nutritious. What more could I want?
