I did every diet: Atkins. Cabbage-soup diet. Dean Ornish. But I couldn't live the rest of my life like a rabbit.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I don't think you can name one diet I haven't done.
After trying Atkins and doing Nutrisystem a few times, now I'm just focused on maintaining a healthy lifestyle rather than dieting.
I did my famous cabbage soup diet, so I was able to do it.
The fact is, I diet every day of my life. I have to work at it. But I diet so I can pig out.
I stopped dieting on plain, boring, unsatisfying food and started eating rich, delicious meals full of flavor and, yes... fat. I got skinny on fat and realized I would never have to diet again.
I tried the paleo diet, which is the caveman diet - lots of meat. And I tried the calorie restriction diet: The idea is that if you eat very, very little - if you're on the verge of starvation, you will live a very long time, whether or not you want to, of course.
I try to eat fruit and veggies and meat and all the different categories and have a well rounded diet.
I've tried just about every crazy diet you can imagine.
I am very lucky in that I can eat what I want and don't have to follow any special diet.
I followed the same diet for 20 years, eliminating starches, living on salads, lean meat, and small portions.
