why it's working

i know why the south beach diet works for me. it makes me conscious of what i eat, and yet i don't have to count calories, or keep a food journal. all i need to do is make sure i eat what i'm allowed to eat, in the proper amounts. and i don't starve or skip meals or drink meal substitutes that make me feel like i'm drinking a chemistry experiment.

it teaches me how to make proper food choices (high fibre, good unsaturated fats, low-fat dairy, high phytonutrients from fruits and vegetables, lean protein). and unlike most fad diets, this is really something that i feel i can do for the rest of my life.

i think i'm going to be shopping at zara in december. =D
