[quote=Anonymous]Your biggest challenge is not deciding what/how to eat (low carb, or low calorie, or whatever) - it's sustaining your healthy eating habits over 6 or so months to lose the weight - even during the unhappy weeks when you don't lose or even gain - or when other things in your life go haywire and you just want to eat your feelings - and then for a lifetime after that. For that, I recommend Weight Watchers or teaming up with a friend or something.

Put another way - losing weight won't turn on whether you go low carb or intermittent fast or whatever. There are many different ways to eat light, clean, and healthy. The crucial test is knowing how to get back up on the horse after the pizza binge, or the unplanned dozen cookies, or that late night bag of chips, and then you do it again and there's a second slip up a few days later, and before you know it you've just slid back into old eating habits. Stopping that slide is the key. It's a mental game, not a nutritional game. And THAT's the hard part. But it can be done.

P.S. Speaking from experience here. I lost 25 lbs and have maintained for nearly 3 years.[/quote]
