Any petite person tried Eat to Live?

Options
I'm new to the forum and new to Eat to Live though I have dieted for thirty years, yo-yoing all the time. I've tried every diet out there, but it is hard to lose much weight when you're five feet tall without restricting calories to dangerous levels. I normally crave fats, cream, butter, chocolate, desserts, and meat, meat,meat. I'm on day three of ETL after being on a severely low cal. diet for a month. I lost about fifteen pounds in the month, but I was starved to death and craved EVERYTHING. When I head of ETL, I bought the book and a ton of food, but I wonder if it will really work for short people--I'm five foot tall. Any experiences, thoughts or ideas?
