So much! And each time I go down this road, even though I may give up, I always take away something positive that sticks.
I quit South Beach, but took away lots of nutritional knowledge about good carbs, fiber and low fat meats.
During that phase I learned that I loved fried cabbage and that it made a nice bed for all kinds of chicken dishes I normally served over pasta or rice.
This time I've learned:
I like lentils.
(Just discovered that tonight)
I learned I love quinoa. Didn't even know what that was.
I have learned that weighing daily is actually good for me and if I weigh daily no matter what, then it seems to me it will help me to never stick my head in the sand again. I can't imagine watching the scale go up and up and not do something about it. Always before, when I gave up the eating plan and the exercise, the scale went out the window too. But if I weigh daily, I don't think that will happen.
