I also started April 15th! I woke up this morning and I was down 1.4 pounds! I went to the bathroom all day yesterday, so I knew I had to be down a little. Now let's see if I can break the 180 mark. I've been gaining and losing the same 7 pounds for the past year! So I will be bery excited to see the 170's again!

My sister & I both started on Monday 04/15/2013. I think we are doing it wrong already. I just weighed myself and I am up 1.5 pounds. Please help me understand this before I blow it. example: today for breakfast I made the french toast with strawberries, because we have 50+ pounds to lose I served two slices of sprouted bread and 1 full cup of strawberries..is this right?

That is right. Make sure you are getting in all your water too. Also what did you guys do for your cardio?

I weighed myself this morning the 2 day.. and I actually gained 1.5 pounds. and my sister had the headache and bloating... I was amazed that Haylie actually took the time to answer my questions... so I know that I am suppose to double the servings and she said just to give it a full cycle try..if we are feeling too full then just cut back to 1.5 servings...this is going to be quite the adventure for sure...hey look I am freefalling!!!! :bigsmile:

Hi All..just started yesterday as well...so far so good:) a little nervous for the phase 2 days, but hopefully they'll go by quickly!

I also started on Monday and weighed in at 146.4; I started phase II today and weighed in at 140.6. I had three egg whites with jalapeño this morning and plan on having deli chicken with endive and cucumbers for my am snack.

I decided to start today. I may have a couple of setback days ( I have preregistered for 5Ks on days that I would have been in phase 2).

My starting weight is 157.6 lbs.

I am hoping this diet will work for me. It sounds promising and makes total since. I am pretty sure I have screwed up my metabolism with constant dieting for 3 years and yet not getting to my goal even when I am eating 1200 calories per day and working out 6 days per week.

I plan on changing my workout schedule to accommodate this diet. Do my run training in phase 1, strength training in phase 2, and just chill and meditate on phase 3 as the book recommends.

I currently live on a gluten free diet ( for medical purposes) so the no wheat part will be easy.

I am excited about this diet. It looks very promising and what do I have to lose. It is worth a try.

how fast does one start seeing weight changes?

I also started on April 15th. Down 3.2lbs on the start of day 3. P2 has been a bit of struggle. Need some crackers or something grainy. So happy this only lasts 2 days. Made the Stuffed Mushrooms for my snacks for today and tomorrow, and also the Stuffed Peppers for my lunches and dinners. The family gets the leftover Broccoli Bowl and the Italian Chicken and Wild Rice. LOL....

I started 04/15 also. So far I have stuck to the diet 100%. How is everyone doing this day 4? I like the protein days better than the carb days. My body seems to feel better. Or maybe it is just getting used to not having caffeine and sugar.

Bought the book today. Will read it and hopefully start tomorrow... depending on if I have to do a grocery trip to start.
