I didn’t really bounce around doing a ton of “diets” to lose the weight. I chose one thing that worked for me and I stuck with it. Last year, Michael and I tried the Slow Carb Diet and it worked wonders for him. He lost 25 pounds on it (10 of those were the first week!) but I disliked the diet and stopped. Not only was I not losing weight, I didn’t feel great on it and I wasn’t happy<\/strong>\u00a0being denied fruit.<\/p>\n Veganism and vegetarianism is another one, and it isn’t for everyone. For some people, that diet can make them really sick. For others, eating meat might not agree with their bodies. There is nothing wrong with changing things up. If a particular diet you’ve chosen to try isn’t working when you should be seeing some results, it’s time to rethink it.<\/p>\n I think the ability to be flexible and willing to try new things is a sign of high intelligence. Be smart. If you aren’t seeing progress, find something that works! And keep trying!<\/p>\n Another example for me: \u00a0what worked for me when I wanted to lose weight was eating a lot of processed food. It was portion controlled and I knew exactly<\/em>\u00a0how many calories I was consuming. This was good for someone who previously had zero willpower and zero portion control. I had to learn. But once I lost the weight and kept it off for awhile, I had to make some changes. My body didn’t feel great when I ate processed foods. I wanted to eat healthier so I tried to eliminate the pre-packaged junk.<\/p>\n\n
