Good morning! I hope that you have had a wonderful Monday and you Tuesday is starting off just as great! We got back from Panama City Beach quite late last night and I am not quite sure that I am back to life yet. For this reason, today's post is a little shorter and is simply going to show you an article you may have missed by Darya Rose over at Summer Tomato. I think almost every person out there can admit to going on or wanting to go on a diet. Personally, there are very few that actually work for me other than those that help me change my lifestyle and eating habits rather than making me eat less of a certain (o any) food.

In the article, Darya talks about why diets do not work on both a psychological and and physical level. Weight loss systems that encourage healthy eating and a change of eating habits going in and coming out of the system are very different than so many of these fad drink diets or no carb options. Darya explains, simply, why these can be so detrimental to our overall health is when we go on these fad diets.

Funny, but diets must be on the mind. Elle, from According to Elle, also did a fantastic breakdown of a recent study related to low carb diets.

Although I have never done the Atkins, South Beach, or lemon water diets, I have seen results with following a meal plan that is well balanced and changes my thought patterns on unheallthy foods. Are there any eating plans that have worked well for you?
