    Enjoy gaining all the weight back when you're done "dieting."

    Surely the same goes for everyone? Stop dieting and gain your weight back!

    Which is why I encourage learning sustainable, practical eating instead of fad diets like low carb.

    It's been around a lot longer than calorie counting and other such diets - maybe past the fad stage by now?

    Nope. I consider it a fad diet. Refer to it however you wish, but I think it's an unsustainable plan intended to be a quick fix. It does not teach you how to eat like a normal person by eating normal common foods, just in moderated ways

    Just curious what your definition is for normal common foods?? because for everyone that might mean something different.

    I agree. What I eat I consider normal.. I don't think I am eating abnormally.... Who is to say pizza and sandwiches and Taco Bell are normal but meat and veggies aren't normal.

    " A meat (low carbohydrate) diet was introduced at the start of the nineteenth century, and was followed by many other special diets. Restricted calorie intake may have been the common factor in determining success, but patients tended to rebel against the more demanding regimens. "

    C'mon... because they tried it as treatment for diabetes, then tried other things? Not exactly supportive as evidence that the low carb lifestyle was a "thing" back then.

    I agree...I have already accepted that I will probably always have to track my calories in some shape form or fashion if I want to maintain my weight loss. I will always have to make sure that I am active at a certain level.

    I think knowing yourself and accepting certain things about yourself is the key to many of us being able to maintain.

    The funny thing is...people that don't limit any certain food group fails at maintaining at a fairly high rate according to statistics. I couldn't do low carb...I tried...I sucked at it!

    I have noticed one thing though...I don't crave carbs as much since I have "tried" to keep my sodium at 1500mg. Pasta without salt...IMO...is just not good. That is one thing I have noticed...the carbs that I once enjoyed...all need sodium...at least for me.

    That's it then. It's all been for nothing.

    Jonny has spoken and now we must all follow his diet (which actually isn't a diet) its and eating strategy (or something like that), but NOT a diet.

    Okay, what shall I have for dinner tonight, cause I've only got low carb stuff in and I don't want to fall off the 'Jonny no diet' eating strategy first day?

    ALNoog... you have health issues that have modified your eating. You have a new normal. His comments aren't necessarily directed at you, okie doke? :smile: Remember... you surely do not eat like the OP and you wouldn't want to.

    But its not a fad - at worst it's retro. Although retro does make it sound cool.

    Low Carb Retro Eating strategy - LCRES (I like it).

    Why do low carb? Is that a way you can maintain a lifestyle? Better to find a nutrional lifestyle you can live with and keep going. It becomes your lifestyle and not a diet. Good luck!!

    Lol ok I know you are being facetious BUT... You should try this chicken I've been making!! We eat it a few times a week.

    Take chicken breast and top with fresh basil paste and wrap in bacon and when it's completely cooked top with mozzella until melted!
    Even though you weren't actually asking what to cook for dinner ;)

    Personally, I wouldn't want to do anything that made me feel lethargic or dizzy. The overall goal here is to get healthier. And there's no way you can stick with this plan for life. Sooner or later, guess what? You're going to need and want carbs because you've been depriving yourself and you haven't learned how to have them in moderation to live out the rest of your days without regaining. I don't know of any person that has remained ultra low carb in maintenance for a few years/kept the weight off.

    make sure you are eating NORMAL foods , cause you don't want to be a failure if you try to eat healthy all the time, society says Taco bell is normal so that's what you should eat to be successful, oh as long as you count your calories then you are completely not dieting!!

    That does sound nice and if LCRES ever gets the thumbs up from Jonny, I'm going to give a try.

    "Normal person"??? I don't know...are any of us normal?

    "Normal common foods"...I think they are more dependent upon demographics and change throughout time. Growing up it was normal to eat fried food where I lived. It was normal to add sugar to everything. My mother bought 5-10lbs every time we went grocery shopping. It was not normal for us to eat seafood.

    My "normal common foods" have changed...I don't fry...I don't own any sugar...I now eat seafood. I eat things that I didn't even know existed as a child.

    One of my favorite things to eat growing up was a wilted salad...hot bacon grease poured over right before it was served. I wouldn't eat it now...well...maybe...but it wouldn't be considered "normal common food" in my house.

    Normal people...normal common food...is dependent upon the individual.
