I'm lucky, I guess, because I don't have a lot of weight to loose. My goal weight is about 5-10 pounds away, so losing lots of weight on a plan isn't my main motivator. I want to eat healthy because I want to BE healthy. That's why I like Schwarzbein. She focuses on natural eating; no caffeine, no artifical sweetners, no alcohol, no hydrogenated fats, etc. She also stresses the importance of exercise, yoga, and pilates. I think she has a really balanced approach. Not like Atkins, where he advocates artificial sweetners, protein bars, and fake food mixes while also limiting nutritional fruits and veggies.
