I think if you're making habit of very reasonable portions and learning to eat like skinny people, that's the biggie. It's something I never learned from Atkins, and why I gained all the weight back almost immediately. The diet bored me, and left me longing to eat stuff I wasn't allowed to, and that sent my addictive nature into overdrive.
Comparing that against what I'm doing now, which is loosely watching calories, and just creating good eating habits while not denying myself anything, I just feel like that's a more healthy and "normal" approach. Simple, too. Just don't eat too much, rather than throwing myself in food jail.
The diet for my neural stuff just makes me watch my potassium intake, which isn't all that hard and it's not very restrictive. Plus I have to make sure I get plenty of carbs. Why carbs, I have no clue. It's just what it is.
I just want to get "normalized and mainstreamed" and not have weight loss/control hanging over my head forever, ya know?

If I had to eat like you're doing it, I'd probably eat skinny people, too.
Hang tough, my brother. You're kicking ass!!!
