I have been on many diets, occasionally losing up to 50 pounds, but it has never lasted. I know that the intensive experience that I have described would be good not only to help me lose weight but to hopefully be happy in the process. In the past, I have never been happy while losing weight and I believe that has made it more difficult to maintain healthy eating habits after I've lost weight. My life is passing me by but I only seem to care less as time goes on. Thanks for your help.
Some programs are helpful, whereas others are simply money-making ventures.
This means following the Guide to Daily Food Choices, emphasizing lower fat options among a variety of foods. The program should stress gradual, rather than rapid, weight loss. Look for a fat storage loss of 1 - 2 pounds per week. The program's plan should be adaptable to habits and tastes. No rigid rituals should be required.
