    If it works how come you need it a third time? Not being smart, a genuine question.

    Very good question I ask myself all the time. Well for me I kept cheeting and eating unhealthy things. I wasn't taking it seriously. I would start loosing the weight then think its OK to cheet, then once I did I figured oh well let me just eat bad for the rest of the day. Then it became hard to start again. I just had a baby and of course there is extra weight that i need to lose and I said to myself that this time it not a diet its a lifestyle change

    You don't need some magic cookbook or website. Simply track your calories, be accountable, workout and it's simple.

    No cookbook or website. And I don't have to track calories but I do. It's all about eating clean

    I don't know. I just looked it up. Among the many claims: certain foods cause weight gain in the abdominal region. Other foods will reduce belly fat. Hum.

    If this is your third time around, it clearly isn't something that is realistic for you long-term. Wouldn't it be a better idea to just adjust your mindset, try calorie counting and still eat foods you love within your calorie goals?

    I agree with others, if this is a program that worked so well for you, you wouldn't be compelled to "cheat".

    Also LOL at myself, cheating on the Poon diet. Tee Hee.

    No counting calories?
    So the Poon diet is all you can eat? Sounds good to me.

    All laughs aside..OP, why don't you just count calories so you can control over what you eat? Maybe you'll be more successful

    See, to me one of the biggest scams the diet industry pulls is to convince you that when you 'fail' at a diet, it's because you didn't do it right, you cheated, whatever - rather than admitting that it's the diet that is flawed. You don't need Dr Poon, Dr Oz, Dr Hyam, clean eating, rules, restrictions... you need a calorie deficit and a way of eating that you can live with for life. A 'treat' isn't cheating. It isn't unhealthy. It's a part of life and can be fitted into a very healthy, sustainable, weight losing intake.

    I’m not going there! I watch Bait Car on tv, “just keep walking!”

    I think most diets are the same, they restrict your calories in one form or another, or get you on an exercise program.
    The difference is whether you want to pay for the information or not. On MFP you get the information free.

    Poon diet? This is the first time I've heard of it……….

    I quickly checked out the website and was immediately drawn to the comment "Dr. Poon's blah blah blah is about what to eat rather than how much to eat."

    You see, this type of thinking is incorrect. Weight loss comes from a calorie deficit. How much you eat is what you need to focus on for weight loss. In terms of health, you would want to focus on what you eat (while still eating in a deficit).

    I agree that if it's your 3rd go around and you've 'cheated' before, why not try something more sustainable like eating your normal foods within your calorie goal?
