Well, some diet plans really are pretty bland and yucky. I was on a plan once where it was egg-white omelets most mornings. I hate egg whites, and there is really no reason not to eat a whole egg. Also, the plan had lots of turkey breast for lunch or dinner. I used to like turkey breast, but not anymore!
On the other end of the scale are the plans where you have to be cooking all the time. I'm just not there... I don't want to spend a lot of time every day making my food. Yeah, that could be considered lazy--but mostly I think it's my own preference!
So, I count calories, and I pretty much have come up with how to eat and what to eat, and it's all stuff I
like to eat--but of course
I have restrictions! I don't believe there is any way for someone to lose weight without some sort of food restrictions.
I also don't believe there is any way to avoid regaining weight lost without some sort of food restrictions.
Like EZ said, we want it and we want it now. Lots of people are just "big children" that way--and I was one of them! People equate "restrictions" with being unhappy, and that's not what it is. It's being an adult and knowing the laws of physics. No, I can't sit down and eat a pint of ice cream unless I'm prepared to do those 8,000 jumping jacks!
