On my case, I wanted to be 36 again, and I did it. Because I'm not a big man, 38 was too big and had too much tummy and waist for 36. I'm so happy now! And I am more alert as well; I'm eating more now but healthier.

I too would love to be 36 again. I am sure I had less wrinkles and I was a good weight and looked great! - but alas I am now 45 and there is nothing I can do about it.

I do think all these fad diets are nonsense though. As long as one eats a healthy variety of foods while avoiding large quantities of things known to be unhealthy (fats, salt, sugar) what does not matter, just how much in calories. Oh, and one can never drink too much water, while sweetened drinks are terrible.

I never needed to be on a diet until I passed the 40 year mark, then I seemed to put on a little weight every month. The creeping weight gain. I eat pretty well with lots of veges and cycle most days and do body balance at the gym at least 3 times per week. The body did not regulate itself properly after 40, so now I have to count calories.
