It occurs to me that a major problem with a lot of diets is that they require you to go so off piste from what I'd consider a normal, everyday diet for a normal, non-dieting person, i.e. the sort of things we eat and can readily access in the West (and I do not mean the bad stuff! I mean meat, veg, inc carbs like spuds, bread, pasta, rice, & dairy) that if you've been habitually eating it but perhaps a bit too much of it (hence the need to diet) that suddenly dispensing with a whole food group really won't be something you can do for ever?
Do you feel you're setting yourself up for 'failure' if you for instance just stop going out because what'll be available to eat 'out there' doesn't fit your 'new' diet? Or do you expect to be able to go 'back to normal' after a diet like Atkins has done the job?

Don't you worry that your weight loss diet is SO different from 'normal' you'll never keep it up long term?
