Well, I do believe this is truly a case of each individual is different. For

me, it is changing my eating style that works. My body seems to become

comfortable at whatever I'm doing at the time, and just loves to stay there

probably forever, or even gain. If I make a drastic change suddenly, it does

seem to shock it into a loss, at least temporarily. I'm happy it does that

because I can " tip the scales " in my favor when I need to. Now, the great

fear, of course, is that this will change one day, and nothing I do and no

amount of dieting will make me lose those few pounds that inevitably show up.
