Most diets only think in the very immediate realm of time. However, you have to consider the immediate effects, the residual effects, and the more long-term cumulative effects. Most diets “feel great” as you’re losing fat at first, but under the surface the body is responding metabolically and hormonally, and eventually you get the inevitable “diet rebound.” You can only force the body for so long before it reacts. To achieve longterm results, you have to coax your body. In other words, don’t work “on” your body; work “with” your body.
