It doesn't feel like a diet to me either, and I love that. It's the reason I refuse to use fitday.com, which so many people love. I'm glad it helps a lot of people on this site, but I refuse to spend part of my day keeping track of everything that goes into my mouth and balancing out ratios. I do it mentally as I go along during the day, and I keep my carbs under control by making smart choices.

This is so natural for me, just making good food choices and eating whole, unprocessed stuff. And I agree about low-fat Miracle Whip and mayonnaise. It's an abomination.


Edited to add: This is in no way a slam against fitday or those who use it. It is a wonderful program that helps many, many people stay on track. It just doesn't fit for me, and it's not how I want to live my life. This is a life-long series of choices for me, not a "diet" where I track my every calorie.
