Are there successful Core losers out there?

I know people need whatever psychological "bag of tricks" and system (be it points, calories, cutting back on carbs to reduce appetite and hope the rest falls in to place, limited lists of "filling foods", complicated rations of protein-fat-carbs, weekly bonuses, whatever) to create some way to lose weight and maintain a healthy lifestyle. I call that a diet though. To me that's what it is. I *need* the rules or I simply won't lose. The rules are, to me, constitute a diet. It's a useful English word and I don't see a reason to avoid it. Of course, as with most things, everybody feels differently about this - and that is fine. If somebody finds the word "diet" bothersome or burdensome and they prefer to call it a plan or a lifestyle that's fine. But I think the English word for a plan or lifestyle that determines what you eat is called a "diet" and the word doesn't bother me at all. In fact, saying that I am sticking to my "diet" sounds upbeat and positive to me. doug |
