For example, I read a lot of diet reviews online looking for the perfect weight loss secret, but the ones that touted a healthy eating plan with a slow weight loss always seemed too long and drawn out for me. I wanted faster results. However, I eventually did try one of the big name weight loss programs and while they do not promote a plan that will give you instant success, I found that I actually did lose quite a bit of weight.  I was using hCG drops  combined with a lower calorie diet at the time.

I think the difference between the various programs was that with the quick weight loss plans, I felt like I could slim down in a hurry and realize my ideal weight without having to wait months and months, but it was only temporary. However, with the slower programs that promote eating healthy well balanced meals, I initially thought that the weight would come off too slowly for me to actually stick with the plan. In actuality, the slower process made losing weight much easier.

In the plans where I was looking for super fast results, I would quickly grow tired of the severely restricted diet and snacking or cheating became far too easy. Then, once I cheated, I felt like I had blown that day and would consume everything I had been going without. After all, the day was already chalked up as a loss so I might as well indulge myself in all those treats I had been craving. The plan was always to start up the next day, after the weekend, the beginning of next month or whatever arbitrary time-frame I had set for myself. As most people already know, getting started is often the hardest part. This generally meant that I never did get back to that diet and I was again gaining weight and feeling miserable.

However, with the slower weight loss program I felt like there were so many more options. I never really had the urge to cheat because just about anything I wanted was allowed, as long as I counted it towards my daily total. This meant no feelings of being deprived of anything and it also meant that the program was easier to maintain for the long run.
