Contrary to what many dieters may think, choosing one plan over another because it allows more of certain favorite foods may be a recipe for another dieting failure, according to Psychiatrist, Dr. Anthony J. Burlay, author of The Foundation Diet: Your Body Was Designed to Eat (Zen-Fusion Publishing, $22.95).

Differentiating between “wants” and “needs” and learning what your body is designed to eat is the key to weight loss, Dr. Burlay says. “Approaching your search for a diet with the thinking that you can't give up certain foods– like pasta, chocolate, certain fruits, or whatever your food may be– is a symptom of our society’s trend towards instant gratification, and not the way you should be thinking if you want to lose weight.”
