i disagree completely. changing your diet is a huge lifestyle change. you have to buy different foods at the grocery, cook different foods, eat at different times, not go out to eat...it sounds like you are doing it atkins style, which is a tough transition from a normal diet. when i start to cut down i do atkins for a week and thats about all i can take without any carbs.

It's not really Atkins, as I don't really know the particulars of that diet.

I am employing the "common sense/empirical data" diet. It involves common sense (see title), and observing how different foods affect me.

For instance, I would have known that bread and fried foods were awful for me if that Atkins guy had never been born. How, you ask? The desire to crawl under my desk after lunch every day, coupled with the unsightly extra weight I was carrying.

I honestly do not think it's hard to make the "lifestyle adjustment" of observing your own physical condition and acting accordingly.

Not trying to be contentious, just saying it plain.
