Home » Long Term Weight Loss » The Meat and Potatoes of Life: What I learned while losing, gaining the same 10 pounds – Hanford Sentinel

When our VCR gave up the ghost, I went to the local YMCA, finally investing in presentable work-out clothes for step, kick-boxing, spinning, pilates, boot camp, body pump, and Zumba, during which I achieved new levels of personal humiliation.

For me, the problem wasnt exercise. It was the can of Pringles Id eat later that afternoon. No matter how many miles I shuffled or Y classes I took, I always knew that my weight loss goals would fail without a proper diet plan.

An old favorite was The Cleveland Clinic diet, which had nothing to do with the famed hospital, and was also slanderously called the three-day Army diet, the American Heart Association diet and the hot dog and ice cream diet. I usually achieved success, losing ten pounds in three days. The only problem? On the fourth day when normal eating resumed, Id gain it all back.

I invested in Weight Watchers, a healthy subscription plan involving a points system, nifty daily journals, recipe cards and weekly meetings. I lost a few pounds; however, I found the strict privacy of the weigh-ins to be a disappointment. I mean, whats more motivating than a bit of public fat shaming?

Eventually, I discovered Sugar Busters, Adkins, Dukan and their ilk, which began a long odyssey of low-carb self-denial, during which I believed in strict adherence to an eating plan that looked like Cool Hand Luke at a Brazilian meat festival. At first, the notion of unlimited butter, bacon, cheese and chicken skin was liberating. But I developed unfamiliar feelings like cravings for vegetables and worried that I might grow carnivorous fangs.
