“Specific” diets don’t help most people. A diet is a very personal thing. People have different tastes, different medical problems, etc. If you’re obese, you probably have a health problem. Talk to your doctor and find out if you do. Then ask the doctor what kind of diet you need to go on. Start there. I was diabetic and since being diagnosed I’ve lost over 70 pounds doing my OWN diet. My diet might not work for you though. Mine is based off of being diabetic and therefore limits my carbs.

This is the diet solution for binge eaters. One day you eat one kind of candy bar etc. (as much as you want.) The next day you just eat chips. The more you limit your choices and taste variety, the more it works. It is variety that is the problem, not quantity. You won't believe how much this will kill your appetite.

Of course, the next step is to have your cake and eat it too, i.e. binge on your favorite treats (one at a time, not one after another) and fulfill your nutritional requirements. This is what Dr. Katz is offering in his book.

I guarantee that after a month of sundaes, you will want to eat your broccoli. I could probably make money with this bet.

this is very interesting and consistant w/ article i read yrs ago about how if a candy comes in several colors we will eat more, becaues we seem to want to have some of each…so we’d eat more of a candy that came in say..red,blue,green,yellow,brown…than if it just came in one color (I am thinking of how this would benefit skittles and m&ms!!)
i absolutely think its valid

Interesting. However, I can no longer follow a diet program. The thought of a diet begins the thought of a binge. I go shopping every two days because I really have no idea what I am in the mood for eating. Shopping every two days and eating what I like along with an exercise plan helps me greatly. Oh, and some supporting words around the house on 4×6 index cards. I have lost 112 lbs. and at times find it very difficult to keep the weight off without a diet plan but I have been doing it for 3 years. When I diet, I put the weight back on that I lost plus some. No more diets for me. P.S. Today I didn’t want meat and veggs for dinner but a candy bar and chips. I had the candy bar and a 99 cent bag of chips along with milk. I don’t normally eat this way but when I want to I do……………no binges tonight. If I had the forced meat and veggs, I believe that I would have binged the remainder of the night on everything to prevent myself from having the candy bar and chips. People at my job are on all types of diets and everyone of them have lost weight, but, I have seen them all put the weight back on and try another diet. The summer is coming and they are getting desperate. I refuse to be apart of this cycle again. Best of Luck !
