"The road we are going to be traveling down is really not new. Our journey involves an education process where we will try do dispel the diet myths and come to understand that there is no magic. We will learn that their are foods that compared to what we currently eat can seem magical. Combining these foods with the fact that weight maintenance depends on a balance of energy intake and energy expenditure, regardless of the proportions of carbohydrate, fat and protein in the diet. In plain english this means you cannot consume more calories in a day than you expend."
