JUDDD is a calorie counting regimen. It is about timing and creating deficits. That is the bottom line. How you choose to adapt it to your lifestyle can be very individual.
Starting a new diet with a slew of rules of what you should and shouldn't eat is a recipe for UNsustainablity. In time, the lifestyle of ADF changes your taste buds anyway. Don't put the cart before the horse. As you lose weight, you begin craving healthier foods. (Dr. Johnson mentions this in his book.)
It is best to get on the horse, eat how you're already eating (within reason of course), work with that for awhile, and begin to take baby steps toward a healthier lifestyle. Expecting to change everything overnight is a recipe for failure. Living this lifestyle opens up your horizon and you begin to become choosier about the desserts you're going to eat. Now you CAN eat that decadent dessert. Why settle for a Snackwell cookie?
In time DDs may become more challenging. To counteract this, higher protein foods can become your best friend. (See "Protein - Crucial for Metabolism")
❤ I sure love my diet! ❤
