I do know that to be able to eat until full helps me to lose weight. I do know that my portions are way bigger than any of my failed diets in the past. And I do know I eat great food.

I agree. That is the main reason I follow the Adkins WOE. I know for a fact that when I eat sugar and too many carbs, my appetite goes out of control. I can eat something now, even a small snack, and feel it in my stomach, feel satisfied, and not be hungry for more.

I also realize, if I continue long-term on this WOL my health will improve and my body weight will keep reducing. It will just take some time for that to happen.

Good luck on whatever plan you decide to stay with.
