After getting to your goal then it becomes your WOL..until then...some of us need to feel as if we are on a diet in order to stay focused. None of us will go around eating only 25 carbs per day. So until you reach WOE...it is a diet!!! Sorry if I offend...I am only voicing my opinion.

i perosnally am not offended, but i think the reason that so many of us think of it NOT as a diet is that diet = temporary. to maintain the health and PERMANENT weight loss that we all seek, you need to NOT think of it as temporary (aka a diet)
maybe you'd be better with the term "eating plan"? yes, you NEED to follow the rules (like a diet) but NO, it is NOT a temporary way to get to your goal. you must make permanent changes. permanent as in for LIFE, as in LIFEstyle - as in WOL (or WOE)
i think we are on the same page, just prefer different terms  |
