A Simple Formula for Weight Loss and Long-Term Maintenance
“The secret to losing weight isn’t really a secret at all - It’s simple and it’s free. I’ll get to that later in the post, but first I want to give you some background.
In the past, it was difficult for me to lose weight because I chose to believe it was complicated. I chose to believe that thin people had a special genetic makeup that allowed them to be thin and that the only way I could be thin again was to find a magic solution. I never found that solution. I tried Atkins, South Beach, and other diet fads to lose weight and they worked for a while, but I always bounced back to where I started. Diet plans worked temporarily because they got me to change my lifestyle temporarily. As soon as I reverted to my old lifestyle the weight returned.”
Steve has the formula down to three points and seeing that he has made it work for him, I say he’s on to something. In five months, he was able to shed twenty five extra pounds that he didn’t want anyway!

The trick is not to “diet,” but to make a lifestyle change. There’s a reason the final phase of most “diets” is “lifetime maintainance.” I’ve been on Atkins for 2 1/2 years now and don’t plan on ever stopping. It’s not a diet anymore; it’s a sustainable lifestyle with food that is delicious and nutritious. What more could I want?

I have adjusted my diet because of my intolerance of sugar. A lifestyle change is definitely what it’s all about.
