Welcome to the Carolina Lifetime Diets

 

These programs are the best way for you to lose weight, improve your health and appearance and enjoy life again!

 

The Carolina Lifetime Diets are designed to help you learn to eat well and lose your weight quickly.  Everything in our life seems to run at full speed and you need your diet to work quickly too.  Our diets will help let you pick how quickly you lose and help you live well in the process!

 

To ensure that you have the best chance of losing your weight quickly AND keep it off long term you need to stay away from fad diets or fad foods.  We will help you do that by combining the strengths of the many of diets and avoiding their weaknesses.

 

It is important to set your long-term weight goals to include a plan to keep off what you lose! You must learn to build a good nutritional pattern that will help you move into a long-term healthy way of eating.  By moving through our diets, you will do that!

 

You have, no doubt, looked around to see what diets are available.  The following are some of the major shortcomings to today’s diet trends.

 

1.                  Any successful single nutrient diet (low fat or low carbohydrate) will eventually create a new food market in the food industry’s attempt to meet the changes.  This often leads to misleading statements and too much dependence on foods that have been adjusted to go along with these trends.  Our goal is to see you through these on and off changes to ensure that you lose your weight and keep it off.

 

We have seen major changes in diets in the last two decades.  Low fat dieting was all the rage for years, but with seemingly every food have a low fat choice, people began to feel that they could eat all of the fat free foods they wished.  As you know, they often began to gain weight.  Toda, it seems like you cannot go or do anything without running into low carbohydrate foods. Beware!  These may be helpful, but don’t fall into the trap that they are completely safe and you don’t have to worry about them.  Let us teach you to look at the full nutrition that a food contains.

 

2.                  Knowing that you will be successful on our diets, we must consider how you will transition from more restrictive diets to a long term eating pattern.  Some diets actually can make it more difficult to make this transition, we will make it easy!

 

I have run into a problem trying to help people maintain their loss after being on a low carbohydrate diet like Atkins.  I will agree that rapid weight loss is very possible, but it also develops some bad eating habits that, if not maintained under the strict guidelines of the Atkins program, can lead to a lifetime of eating more fat than is healthy. We can get you that loss and help you keep it off too.

 

3.                  Behavior modification is critical but behaviors such as counting fats, carbohydrates, or even calories is usually short term and if relied upon can allow a person to fail in maintenance as they naturally shift away from counting.

It is inevitable that you will have to read labels and pay attention to serving sizes and the nutritional breakdown of the food.  You will even have to count things on occasion on any diet. However, a diet that relies on counting will not work long term, for most people, and you need to make sure that you are learning about food and food choices as well.

4.                  All diets require work, THERE IS NO MAGIC, but with some effort and support, you will be able to reach your goals.

Beware of false claims or medications, etc. that promise remarkable changes with little work, they seldom do as much as claimed and often do nothing at all.  We work to find what does work to ensure that you meet realistic goals and have long term success

 

The diets that we offer will provide you with ways of evaluating your food choices, learning what types of foods can keep you satisfied while keeping your metabolism working efficiently and keeping you feeling satisfied.  They are low in both carbohydrate and fat while allowing significant amounts of food.

 

The diets are all low-carb and low-fat.  They vary from extremely rapid weight loss, requiring supplementation with protein drinks to a full food program, that only relies on your foods and motivation.

Everyone is different and you should pick a diet that you know you can do and not set yourself up for failure. It is usually beneficial to start on a more restrictive plan and move toward adding foods as you lose weight and your behavior begins to change. These diets are designed to transition you from one diet to another while the Carolina Lifetime Diet will help you transition toward maintaining your loss while still allowing for significant weight improvements in your health

 

Choosing a diet for you is a balance between your lifestyle and how fast you want to lose. 

 

Don’t aim for perfection, aim for a realistic lifestyle and good choices. But be ready for rapid change!
