Since I started my business as an Herbalife Distributor, I've come to realize more and more that one of the biggest problems with today's diets is that they're impossible to integrate into one's lifestyle, long term. I had a friend on the South Beach Diet, and I couldn't believe the kinds of things she had to cut out. It was no surprise to me that she couldn't lose any weight. Everything she enjoyed eating was "cheating."
A good diet focuses on learning proper eating habits, and being conscious of what you are putting into your body. Balance is the key word. It's ok to snack, just be aware of how much snacking you are doing! Nobody can cut out sweets completely, at least I've never met anyone. That's why there are so many sugar substitutes out there, because even diabetics who really can't have sweets have a hard time controlling themselves.
When I coach people who are trying to lose weight, this is the point I emphasize the most: You have to find a way to make the diet work for you, so you can integrate it into your lifestyle.
