I am not really on any diet, lean meats, vegetables, almonds, and 1 South Beach Snack bar a day. Pretty much counting calories and carbs. 1000 cal and about 45 carbs a day.

That is what I have been doing. A grilled (or baked) chicken salad at lunch. Lean meat or fish at night with just vegetable and almonds or string cheese as a snack. I have lost weight successfully like this in the past. I started back on it 2 weeks ago and have only lost 3 pounds but have lost more inches. THe first week is touch but once I get past the first week the carb cravings pretty much disappear. My weakness is carbs. I LOVE BREAD! But it does not love me :-(

For us, it has been a change of eating habits...it's not something we will ever be able to stop completely...That's why I don't think about it as a diet, but as a change. "Dieting" is something that for me anyway, I thought of as something I'm doing now, but once I reach my goal, I'll be able to stop....of course that doesn't work. It has to be a change that you can live with all your life.

The longer we eat like this the less we want to go out to eat, the less we want to eat junk. Because for both Mack and I anyway, we physically were feeling so bad before, that we were losing the ability to do the things we wanted to do. It's a choice we had to make. I think most people are like we were. They won't make the change till they HAVE to, and even then it's hard. But the longer you do it the easier it gets.
