I was wondering why everyone wants to go on a diet. I mean a diet is something you go off and on. Actually to lose weight and keep it off if you go on any diet you will lose weight but you will gain it back after you start eating normally. Atkins, south beach,low-fat, anything.
I think when people want to lose weight and keep it off they have to find an eating lifestyle they can live with for the rest of their life. They have to find a way to eat so they can continue. And exercise too.
I mean you go on atkins and you lose 20 lbs for the prom and you stop and you gain it back. This is true, it does happen. Actually I read somewhere our body's metabolism was made to resist our attempts to lose weight so once you deprive it of carbs or fat if you feed it with that stuff again, it will change its metabolism and you will gain.

So my opinion, don't go on a diet, find a way to eat you can live with if you want to keep the pounds off forever.

Take care guys. :d :)
remember no matter what you wiegh you are all beautiful and special on the inside!
