    I read the book and am quite interested, but there are a few things I find strange.
    1: No snaking? If you can have unlimited fruits and vegetables then shouldn't you be able to have them in-between?
    2: Would almond milk be acceptable for cereal and oatmeal?
    3: This diet seems hard to maintain in the real world with food having a large impact in almost all social events.
    I understand being healthy and fit is our goal, but it seems to me this diet would consume a persons whole life, always revolving around what not to eat and being tempted constantly. I will try it, but the reality of it questions me.

    I finished reading the book on Saturday and I have been following it since (4 days now) and I haven't weighed myself yet. BUT, I have so much energy, TMI coming up - I have been best friends with the bathroom, visiting an average of 4 times a day!, I haven't had a headache since and I feel more alert. Let's see how the rest of the month goes like!

    I could use more ETL friends. If you'd like to add me, please do! Or, send me a message and I"ll add you!

    Congrats to everyone! Our society isn't oriented towards ETL choices so it means a lot more work than breaking open a frozen pizza ordering one in! But, I feel so much better and it is all worth it.

    Thanks so much for all who have posted their success stories on ETL. I started 3 days ago. I'm following the program quite closely, but am allowing myself 1 slice of organic, freshly milled bread per day. (this is actually allowed). I have a lot more energy, my head is clearer.

    I do have one problem on ETL that I hope y'all can help with please?

    It is the beans. They give me gas and bloating. Sometimes the gas is foul! I chew my food well. The beans are from a can, so they are soaked. Am I doing something wrong? Will this bean issue go away if I stick with the plan?

    Thanks :)

    Enzyme tablets and probiotics. I use digest spectrum. And Jarrod enzyme tabs works great.

    I have lost 50 lbs on etl. I started June 2, 2013. Chol dropped from 235. To 185. Hdl 40 to 86. All numbers improved and I feel better now then 10 years ago.

    I think of this way of eating as a process, the longer I eat this way the easier it gets. Also, if I am not perfect I don`t beat myself up and just do better the next meal.

    I will never go back to my old way of eating.

    I just started Eat to Live yesterday.

    I'm nervous and excited at the same time about this journey. I really believe that this will work for me. It's so encouraging seeing real success stories.

    How long did it take before you all started seeing results?

    I'm interested in trying this, where can I get the book. Is it only sold online?

    My Doc wants me to try this and had me watch "forks over knives" I have A-fib, High chloresterol and I'm in danger of being diabetic. I would like to find a place to buy the book over the counter

    A lot of bookstores will order it for you if they don't have it in stock right then.
