Want to know the real trick to losing weight and keeping it off?
Stop dieting.
Fad diets, juice cleanses, or cutting carbs do work in the short run--but not forever.
"Weight loss should not be about an allowed or avoid list," says Bonnie Taub-Dix, a New York based dietician.
Stop cutting out entire food groups--just cut down on them.
And enough with the "cheat days"! It instills feelings of guilt. Enjoy your food and indulge occasionally.
Balance your meals so you have protein, fats, and carbs.
