The laziness thing doesn't work for me, for a couple of reasons. One, I live with someone else who is free to bring home anything & everything. Two, I work in one of those offices where new employees pretty much instantly gain 15 pounds due to all the free snacks.
I agree that in general, "diet" food is a poor substitute for the real thing. Right now though, I'm trying to stick to a pretty hard-core low carb diet, so "better living through chemistry" is my friend. (*That* part of the laziness thing, I do have.) Unfortunately I've come to rely too much on the fake-food bars, and at the same time my shrinking process has completely stalled. Coincidence? @$#%^$!!, I hope not.
if i've really gotta have it, i just go ahead and have it.
I have heard, BTW, that that's the real answer to the French Paradox. How can they eat all those "unhealthy" things and stay slim and healthy? Easy. They just go ahead and have it: real food, in non-enormous amounts.
