You can probably attribute this more to the current food environment and less so the diet. If you only have access to food that agrees with your diet, it's pretty easy to follow. Restrictive food diets are difficult because all the restricted food (generally the restricted foods are ones that are full of "empty calories" or contribute to overeating) surrounds us. It's everywhere. Restaurants. Commercials. Grocery stores. Convenient stores. The break room. Your S.O.'s pantry. If you can manage to escape it, your diet is smooth sailing. Good luck over eating spinach and hard boiled eggs, your stomach will revolt.

- mrhappyunhappy 8y agoYou’re not kidding. For anyone who doubts this, try cutting carbs for 3 days and you’ll realize that carbs, especially highly processed are in everything. I wanted to go on a Keto diet but find it hard not to have something in the morning. So now I am on a low carb diet (exceptions for sweet potatoes, rankon etc...) and avoid any pasta products, sugar or bread. Before I started making exceptions I was on the way to losing a lot of weight, but after introducing some healthier carb options I am sort of at a plateau. Eating whole veggies is hard as hell for me. I typically cook and use oil sadly. My biggest concern is heart disease as that runs in the family. Sorry for random rambling!
