--Real food (nothing in a package with a list of ingredients)
--No sugar
--No starch
--No "fast food"
As a human being, I make a few exceptions from time to time. My maintenance weight is considerably above what I used to consider my Goal weight. But I've made peace with the whole process, and I'm grateful to Dr. Atkins for putting me on the right track almost 20 years ago. It would have been longer if I'd listened to him the first time. 
Best wishes with your exploration. |
Thanks, and yes to almost all of the above, especially the last part. I couldn't have said it better! I say almost because even though I've dabbled in low carb since the 1970s, I never committed to it as a viable way of eating for life until a year and a half ago, after all my other options were exhausted by trial and failure - about 100 times over!
