Lifestyle choices

Elimination vs modification...
moderation vs abstinence...
sugar vs artificial sweetners...  
real food vs fake food, ei low carb equivalent, as many of Wheat Belly recipes...


Psychologically, it may be easier to completely give up, radically change rather than make minor changes of alternate and similar food.  This may also reduce the possible of sliding back. Polish Roulette, foot shooting... similar.  http://philosophyofweightmanagement.blogspot.ca/search/label/roulette

Polish Roulette.

You all have heard of Russian Roulette. I figure there is Polish roulette as well, where you take a gun and point it at your foot. Once in a while it is going to hurt and do a little damage. That is the same as eating fake low carb or gluten free stuff. Most of the time it will be ok but once in a while it is gonna hurt. Oh well, that life. The only thing we can count on is death, weeds and taxes.
