    yeah I tried it a while back .. I have a FB friend who has lost great on it .. I found it too hard to not have fruit as much as I like ... you are limited to twice a day .. I didnt totally stick to the diet so I didnt really lose more than about 5 pounds in the first 17 days ... it was too hard for me and too limiting :( but I do like some of the ideas he has and I do follow it just tweaked it a little so I combine some of his ideas with weight watchers and then I also am now counting calories .. I need to be flexible and not follow a strict diet as I have a teenage daughter who is watching my eating habits (she is skinny so no worries about overeating now) but I dont want her to get into the "diet" habit ... I also have a young 9yo son who is a little chunky and so Im trying to be a good example to all my kids :) Good luck !!!

    I am only 12 pounds away from my final weight loss goal, but i really just need to lose a couple inches in my legs and butt to be done, does this diet help lose inches too?
