It's more a day at a time sorta thing, just like with Alcoholics Anonymous, it's no alcohol for life, but one day at a time.
When you have lost your excess weight (you have to set a maintenance weight, but it must be a healthy one) you are said to be at maintenance and you can start to introduce some more foods.
I have a long way to go til I get to maintenance, about 7.5 stone. But, little by little and with a lot of faith, I'll get there!
