I think you are better off avoiding fad plans. Eat less and move more is always the best option.
I agree with avoiding fad plans - I've turned the south beach diet into something that works for me. I referenced it so people would know I was focusing on lower carbs (no bad ones). And there will be moving, but simple portion control and exercise does me no good. I have to be pretty strict on certain kinds of food.
Well it was working well. I had achieved a level of diet and exercise that I was happy to stick at for the long haul, until events got in the way. For instance I always allowed myself some take out on a weekend. I could have lost weight faster by cutting out all treats, but I wanted a regime that I was happy to keep up for years and years.
I agree with that. I don't "cheat" in the beginning, but I have to plan to in the long run.
Pfft, I was raised catholic. Your guilt powers are no good here
Now a cattle prod, that may be more effective in motivating me.

And more fun for me.
Time for some community support.

You should just run and eat whatever you want within reason.

Mass-produced sliced bread is gross. Fresh tasty bread is delicious.

Ha. Speaking of weight fluctuation... That's probably the exception though.

Don't lose weight quickly! It's weight fluctuation that's bad for you.
