    When I say "thinking about starting it" I really mean I'm startng to go low carb/ high fiber/ good fat not particularly this one. I got his book at the library along with South Beach..

    I can't agree with any diet that places firm restrictions on any whole, natural food like fruits and vegetables.

    I think it means just simple carbs and sugary fruits and vegs like bananas, peas, corn.. I haven't looked into it thoroughly

    That's what I mean -- those are still whole foods. Why are you looking at this diet? Are you having little luck with general calorie counting?

    Well I don't like feeling hungry all the time. The Rosedale diet is supoosed to regulate insulin and the leptin hormone (i think thats what it's called) to curb hunger. I feel like I'm starving myself and when I starve, I binge and when I binge, I purge. I've been through this cycle for 4 years. I need a new option..I gained the 2 lbs I've lost because of binging the past 4 days.

    have you tried eating every 3 or so hours? last week i followed the inferno plan and ate 1200 calories a day. now im someone who could easily eat twice that and more in a day. i was actually shocked at how hungry i didnt feel...unless i skipped a snack, then i did notice i was hungry. this week i decided to up my calories to what mfp says i should have...1680 and my first day i didnt even hit 1680! i was right around 1200 still but felt completely satisfied. i really think its because im eating smaller portions and at several times a day.

    Yah, I have my diary set up so I eat at 5(preworkout snack)/6/9/12/3/6/7:30(if i even have dessert which is rare) and that's how I am today I'm not hungry at all today been drinking lots of water (added aloe and lemon juice to make it easier to drink) I put in all my food for the day and i only ate/ am going to eat 800 something..I think I'm going to add another protein shake but idk when I'm going to drink it because I'm soo full right now!

    Just my own experience..I started on the low(er) carb plan, just eating about 20 carbs a day, around that, sometimes more sometimes less. It has been a really amazing change for me. Not hungry, not tired, very easy to do. I have lost 10 lbs since the first part of Jan. I have also been on the treadmill or elliptical for an hour a day to. For me, hands down, the best diet experience I have had.

    Low carb diets are good for people like me (insulin resistant/metabolic disorder/pre-diabetes). My nutritionist recommends a low-carb diet for folks like me.
