Can you Stick to an Atkins Diet? (Contd)
We’ve been misled with just about every possible explanation and cause for gaining weight, ad-infinitum. If it’s not our lack of commitment, then it’s our low self esteem, failing to plan, or for some other reason. You name it, and there’s an explanation out there! But, the truth be known, when it comes to getting and staying slim, most of these “explanations” don’t make much sense.
What really, really matters in the long run is whether our everyday eating habits and energy intake are in-balance with our everyday energy expenditure.
We all love the novelty and intrigue of trying something different and starting the next new “fad” diet plan is no exception. But unfortunately, the outcome for most of these plans is unsatisfactory. Once the novelty and excitement wear off we’re usually right back to where we started.
Attempts to force-fit changes in our diet generally follow a pattern that goes something like this…
We start a new diet program. Excitement runs high, we are motivated to the max, the pounds are dropping like crazy, and the World is a wonderful place.
- Our busy schedule gets even busier. There are kids to take care of, bosses to satisfy, and of course there are always those new diet guidelines to learn and follow.
- At some point we find ourselves smack-dab in the middle of a time management crisis, and looking for ways to save time.
