Ben is a sixty-year-old man who has tried many weight loss diets only to discover a better way to shed the weight and keep it off without the deprivation of most diets or an unhealthy regimen. He feels eating smart beats any fad diet because it enables each individual to understand and customize his or her daily eating patterns.

Another Good Month to Report

Another month and the results are in. It has now been eight months and my weight remains unchanged and quite easy to maintain. In fact, I seem to have to work as much on keeping it up as I do at keeping it down. It is really just a matter of minor ajustments to intake.

The key remains simple. Track weight changes daily and adjust daily the caloric intake. This keeps weight change from creeping up (or down) over a period of time. No fad diet, no hard to apply rules or point system.

I have learned to intuitively calculate meals when eating out or on the road and make adjustments on the fly. For the first time I really do feel like I am in control of my weight and am not, in the process, depriving myself of the joy of eating. Eating and drinking is a social activity and we should not be burdened with feeling guilty about having a good time with friends and family.
