  • Agreed. The hardest part about diets is that you eventually end them, and then you go back to an unhealthy lifestyle and put it back on again. A friend of mine did Advocare on and off. He loses a bunch of weight, stops the program and gains again. He is now dlibg that with the Keto diet. You have to make a lifestyle change for anything to stick long term.

    And exercise, even if it is just walking, exercise does wonders for the body.

    • That is true, you need to be active. As for the diets, Atkins and many of those are definitely not things that should be part of a long term healthy eating plan. And Advocare and Keto, like Atkins, also are also fads that are just temporary quick fixes. That's another reason why I wasn't supporting those diets. But with the eating plans related to Sugarbusters, you can make them into long-term changes in eating habits because they generally are more closely related to just generally all around eating a healthy lifestyle, simply eating a healthy balance of fruits, veg, whole grains, meats, a little bit of treating yourself now and again to anything good (cake, pie, etc.) as long as it's limited, but not making any of it a bulk of your diet. It's an all around healthy lifestyle with the right amounts of protein, vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants. You're not disproportionately ruling out a big part of essentials like for example you are with carbs on the Adkins diet, and that's why diets like that should definitely not be part of a healthy lifestyle change

    • Very true. The focus should always be on eating good, nutritious food and creating a healthy life, not weightloss.
