18. actually it is about making permanent habit changes

diets don't work because they have end points. and if you haven't changed your habits from before the diet then it all rolls back worse than before. I have maintained what I lost last year for more than 7 months so far without doing anything different. About to delve into losing another largish amount because I am ready to do at least one knee replacement. That will be mostly by eating 10-20% less of everything that I eat now, for most meals. No weighing or counting, just putting a small amount of my plate away for later or the next day.

PN is really about changing the way you eat (and move/exercise) permanently, slowly and in a way that really works for the individual. they start with some behavioral things like eating slow and when it comes to actual foods, adding things instead of restricting.

once you are eating 5 or more servings of colorful fruits and vegs a day you start having less room for excess carbs or other less than good choices. LOL
