I read an article in "O" Magazine years ago that stayed with me. A woman who normally drank diet sodas and ate mostly fat-free versions of food (low-cal ice cream, etc.) stopped all of that for 30 days. She consumed regular ice cream, milk, sodas and everything else.
She was amazed at how she had forgotten how good so many "real" foods tasted. At the end of the month, she was weighed and had gained only 1.5 pounds in the month. With a little bit of adjustment, she was able to find a way to continue to eat more "real" food without gaining weight (1.5 lbs/mo. adds up over a year's time). It was eye-opening to read that.
