Of course for some people it seems to take heroic amounts of willpower not to go shopping for more unhealthy food or go to a restaurant during the lunch break.
I'm experimenting with VLCD right now, and it doesn't seem to take much willpower either. I think the calories are low enough that my body thinks it's starving although it gets everything it needs, so I'm not constantly receiving hunger signals.
Danger! The book the Perfect Health Diet has some very negative things to say about this. As I recall, this kind of diet greatly increases the risk of some diseases.
Danger noted. I'm doing this only a month or two, and don't recommend this to anyone else.
As a side note, will you agree to update everyone in 6 months or a year with how your experiment went?
I doubt I will do it longer than a month or two, but sure, success will be measured in a longer time span. I think losing weight is significantly harder than maintaining it, it's just that most people fail to include maintaining weight to their plans.
Starving for a year doesn't sound like a great dieting plan either.
