I know that a lot of packaged foods have a lot of sugar and additives in it that makes weight loss even more difficult if no impossible. Even worse is that some low carb products have a lot more carbs in them than they claim to have.
So that's why I stay away from most packaged foods unless it's something simple like canned tuna or sunflower seeds, or something with 5 ingredients or less in it. I usually make sure that I know what the ingredients in each thing I buy is. I'm pretty good at reading labels. I stay away from stuff that has artificial sweeteners or colors in it or any other preservative in it like msg, etc...
I don't believe in fad diets. Some say that a low carb diet is one, but this one incorporates whole real foods into my lifestyle, not fake food. I can't help but weigh myself everyday. If my clothes start to feel looser though, I'll feel a lot better about that scale not budging-  |
Hmmm, I did this diet awhile ago, but I think under 6 months.
Yeah, it is important to use a diet you like and feel comfortable using.
I chose South Beach because it was originally created as a healthy cardiac diet.
lol, it is really difficult to stay off the scales when you are dieting, especially in the beginning. Think I jumped on them a few times a day when I first started the diet.
