Can you Stick to an Atkins Diet? (Contd)
We’ve been misled with just about every possible explanation and cause for gaining weight,
ad-infinitum. If it’s not our lack of commitment, then it’s our low self esteem,
failing to plan, or for some other reason. You name it, and there’s an explanation out there!
But, the truth be known, when it comes to getting and staying slim, most of
these “explanations” don’t make much sense.
What really, really matters in the long run is whether our everyday eating habits and energy
intake are in-balance with our everyday energy expenditure.
We all love the novelty and intrigue of trying something different and starting the next
new “fad” diet plan is no exception. But unfortunately, the outcome for most of these
plans is unsatisfactory. Once the novelty and excitement wear off we’re usually right back
to where we started.
Attempts to force-fit changes in our diet generally follow a pattern
that goes something like this…
We start a new diet program. Excitement runs high, we are motivated to the max, the pounds are
dropping like crazy, and the World is a wonderful place.
- Our busy schedule gets even busier. There are kids to take care of, bosses to satisfy, and of
course there are always those new diet guidelines to learn and follow.
-->
- At some point we find ourselves smack-dab in the middle of a time management crisis, and looking
for ways to save time.
