Abstinence does not mean deprivation
Submitted on
A strong segment of dieting wisdom holds that people who want to lose weight shouldn’t rule out any dishes or substances, because people won’t stick with any plan that leaves them feeling deprived.
Though I concede that that’s not totally, completely wrong, I do feel great frustration with it.
If someone wants to make a change, something has to change, does it not? In this context, there are essentially only two tools — eat less, or eat different — and this anti-deprivation dogma removes one of them.
