I thought this was a good article that helps explain why so many of us struggle to keep weight off and keep losing the same 50 or 75 or even 100 pounds over and over again. If you read the article a certain way, it's a big discouraging. But if you read it all the way through, it actually raises some hope for us -- that if we keep at this and stick with reduced sugar and fewer processed foods -- we can create a "new normal" for our bodies. That is really what I'm hoping for in losing the weight very gradually. By the time I reach goal, which I figure will be somewhere around February 2017, I will have two full years of uninterrupted low glycemic eating. I really don't think that body thinks it's being starved anymore. This eating plan is my new normal, and I have to say, when I'm hungry, I'm really hungry, and I've found that eating extra calories (of healthy foods) doesn't cause me to gain. Anyway, take a look at this article. A word of caution, though -- the web site this article comes from is always selling something, so think twice before you sign up for anything.
