There is truth to the theory that change makes a difference.

There was a time when I stopped taking the *fat burners* (CLA, Chromium Picollate(sp?) and ACV), because they seemed to have stopped having an effect. Months later, out of the blue, I thought "Why waste them? Might as well take them till the bottles are finished (spent enough $ on them)".

Lo and behold if my weight loss didn't pick up.

So to further the *change* theory, we also build up resistance to things and need a break from them for them to have an renewed effect.

PS I've done the reversal diet. I was a little disappointed in the short term, (and scared to death because I gained 6 pounds while on it, but persevered nonetheless). Then when I went back to induction, I lost the 6 (not too fast tho) but couldn't really tell if it made any real difference in the long term.
