True enough of "starve youself, feel hungry all the time and eat foods you hate until you can't stand it anymore" diets.
Good thing I'm not on a diet...I changed my eating habits for life.
I take it Ms. Rose hasn't heard of the phase of Atkins called "maintainence" and failed to miss the part in the book where you don't go off the diet...you move to maintainence and make it a lifestyle choice for the rest of your life. Funny...isn't that what dieticians have been preaching for decades...that you have to make permanent changes to see permanent results? If you accept that it's inevitable that someone is eventually going to go off your diet (and if it's that great, why do people look forward to the day they can quit dieting?), how permanent are those changes?
