Would Like Some Guidance (Haven't Read the Book Yet)

[Guest guest]

I have been dieting since I was about 8 (26 years-ICK-makes me sick to

think about!!!!). I have never had much weight to lose, but have been

a classic yo-yoer with the same 15 lbs over and over and over. Two

years ago, I started yet another diet (South Beach) and lost my 15 lbs,

but this time, I decided to really find a way to keep it off. Around

the same time, I was diagnosed with hypertension and wanted to find a

non-drup way to fight it (low-sodium, low fat, low sugar diet, etc.,

etc) Sooooo...I adopted a " clean eating " strategy...whole, natural

foods,etc. It took me a loooooonggg time to really crave and enjoy

eating this way, but I have really embraced it in about the past 5

months. My question is...how do I incorporate IE with my need to

maintain a " healthy " lifestyle? In my case, there really are " good "

and " bad " foods. As much as I wish I could have a cheeseburger and

fries with extra salt (I looooooooovvvveeee salt!!!!!!!!!!!!), and just

eat until I'm satisfied, I really don't want to compromise my health.

Any advice you can give would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance!
