What reality is that? I'm very confused now. After many years of trial and error, yo-yo dieting, and struggling with depression, I've found a plan that works well for me, has me feeling fit and healthy and less depression. Exactly what reality am I ignoring? My reality that what I'm doing and living is working for me???

A little gentility, please? We can disagree without your telling me I'm ignoring reality. That seems harsh and unnecessary.

I've read and listened to everything I can get my hands on in the last 10 years, not just best-selling diet books. I came to my own conclusions after years and years of reading and more importantly trying a lot of different things to see what works best for me, and makes me feel and function the best.
