    Loving all the information and debate. Every one is unique. What works for one doesn't necessarily work for another. Each person has to find a system that works for them.

    Yes! Once I finally recognized this and gave up.the "nsme" diets, everything started clicking and there has been no turning back :smile:

    Agreed...so very nice to have team members participate in discussion.

    By the way, Terri...noticed your new profile pic. Daughter with you?

    It’s okay to post your personal opinion and make non-commercial recommendations. We can’t promote anything that we are trying to sell; poliitical opinion; or derogatory expression

    Did I exercise for at least 20 minutes? Y
    Did I stay within my calorie budget for the day? Y
    Did I keep track of everything I ate and drank? Y
    Mostly inside, but I got out for a good long walk in the evening--very pleasant, helped me stay under the calorie limit.

    Even the term "diet" has the same double-meaning challenge these days. In everyday usage, it is taken to mean "temporary food intake reduction that will eventually come to an end when the number of the scale is what I want".

    As a result of this shift, we have started using the term "lifestyle" to convey the original sense of the term "diet".

    It's original, nutritional-science and biological meaning is "the natural food intake for this animal" as in "koala bears consume a diet of mainly eucalyptus leaves (gum leaves)."

    I find the evolution of language fascinating ....

    @BMcC9. The literal dictionary meaning of "diet" and the social connotation of "diet" when talking about people in a western culture is very different. I started using the term "lifestyle" as the social connotation of "diet" does not convey the meaning I was trying to express.

    It is fascinating how language evolves.

    (btw, they are not "koala bears" they are "koalas". A "koala" is a marsupial and not related to any member of the bear family. Being Australian, I see this a lot from non-Australians. :) ).
