If you go on a strict diet, and it €śchanges your habits€ť, then have you
really gone off your diet at all? Id much rather learn to eat healthfully
to keep weight stable and/or lose than be on a €śpermanent€ť strict diet.
Ive kept all my lost weight off for 12 continuous years, and I dont
€śdiet€ť to keep it off.
