Diet is too perjorative. It tends to mean something you do for a little
while using willpower to temporarily adjust your food intake. It
temporarily adjusts your fat stores, too! As soon as you stop "dieting"
you regain what you lost.

Way of eating is a term that implies this is something you'll do
forever. The basic concept is that if you want to change your body
forever then you're going to have to change the way you eat forever.

It's not as hard as it sounds: you do it gradually, you conquer one
small step at a time, you do progress, not perfection. You've got three
meals a day plus snacks for the rest of your life to work this out.

But in the end, if you want to be healthy and active and weigh less
you're going to have to learn to fuel your body on healthy foods within
a reasonable calorie budget. And that way of eating is what we're
discussing.

It sounds a bit divisive at first when you hear other people's ways of
eating, but I believe that we all converge on sort of the same idea,
within a range. We just call it different things.

I still prefer the word "diet", but by its strictest definition.
A "diet" is simply how one eats; one is either on a weight loss,
maintenance, or weight gain diet their entire life. But do I agree
with Dally -- most people don't mean it that way, so WOE is a better
description of what we're trying to do here. I'm just stubborn... ;-)

I also prefer this as this term is more precise.

Perhaps the name of the group should be changed to alt.support.WOE?
