I know that folks in my weightloss surgery support group here in town, they
are forever searching for quick, easy solutions with as little work as
possible to "maintain" their weight loss. Probably is that folks who reach
their goal weight and/or are a year or so out, I've noticed that they do one
of two things........either they start regaining their weight and they stop
coming/posting to our local group/yahoo group OR they do stick around but
they are depressed or asking for help. When we discuss it, we find that in
most cases it's because they were looking for the easy out. They stopped
being sure that they took in more protein than carbs........and increased
their bread/pasta intake. The bottom line for alot of us is that we're just
going to have to take the time and feed ourselves by cooking or eating
fresh, whatever we intake. I wish that at some point I'd get so I don't
have to put so much thought into what I eat/drink each day but I realized a
couple of months ago, that just ain't gonna happen. If it does then I'm in
trouble. I think we do well to accept that which we can not change.......

These are good points, Aaron.

Several years ago when manufacturers started jumping on the low-carb
bandwagon, we had a discussion on a mailing list about how this wasn't
necessarily a good thing. We were outnumbered by the working moms who
wanted "low cost, wholesome, high quality, low-carb convenience foods"
to make their lives easier.

These same people were posting six months later that they "tried
Atkins and it didn't work."
