If I had just gone on the Adkins diet a long time ago, I probably wouldn't have had the success I've had so far. My "lower" carb lifestyle is just that. There's no "high fat diet" for me with my higher risk of heart disease.
As much as I don't want to sound like a preacher, it can't be a switch from one diet to another. At my heaviest, I was in excess of nearly 160 kg which is horrifying when I think about it. At 36, I was well on my way to an early grave.
Everyone who sees a picture of my honey comments on how good looking he is and sometimes I sense that they wonder what he's doing with me. I can't answer that question but he's the answer to every prayer I've ever had. My weight isn't an issue with him, only as a concern for my health.
So in a nutshell, do it for your health. Find out what eating patterns work for you and stick to them "most" of the time. Some people do well with super low carb, some with lower carb and some with fat free. It's not the same for everyone.
