    Lifestyle or short term

    Is this diet really meant to be used as a lifestyle or a jumping off point for weight loss?

    Me, too! Why can't there just be a diet that makes sense and is easy to follow. They all seem so restrictive and complicated!

Any diet that makes it hard for you to live a normal life (unless you need to follow it for serious health reasons and its doctor recommended) isn't likely something that's practical for your lifestyle.

    That's what I was thinking. I just can't see myself doing this for life. It just doesn't seem natural.

    I think it's supposed to be a lifestyle. If you use it only as a jumping off point, you'll balloon up once you stop it. That's kinda the problem with Atkins and Keto. They do give you fast results, but the diets are just too difficult for the average person to keep up with naturally.
