I've only told my husband and he looked at me like "here we go again, another fad." He supports me, in general, though. I've not told anyone else because, honestly, I don't want their imput. They mean well but they don't know what they're talking about. When I start to really lose and they comment I might tell them then.

Thats the look I think I will get.

My partner is very much in the belief that weight loss happens by eating less and moving more, end of so to speak!

In a sense your partner is correct BUT every other plan out there starts us out with too few calories and then expects us to keep subtracting as we go along. This plan makes more sense because I may still subtract but will never get to a point where I can't eat. Not eating is dumb, barring those with eating disorders as this is something else entirely.

I have a few friends and family that know what I am doing. Most humor me and dont quite understand, including my own husband, but they smile and nod, so to speak. I have one or two friends who are very much on the same path as me and completely agree with it, so we chat often.
As for everyone else, I am sure they are shaking their heads at me like Im an idiot. But I will fool them when they ask me in a few months to tell them HOW I lost it:)

I dont really care what others think! LOL My personal trainer thinks its a fabulous concept..anytime I have had doubts about it she has actually talked me into it....as she said to me the other day "eating as much as we can while losing weight, isnt this what we all want?"

to your Trainer and You too!!

My mum was horrified when she saw the sheer amount of food I was eating in a day. After I had lost about 10 kilos she stopped worrying so much.

I'm finding peoples' reactions HILARIOUS! They sort of look at me like.... "should I say something about her very clearly having fallen off the diet wagon?? She's obviously on a binge today..." but then they're totally befuddled when they see my waistline shrinking and my arms and legs toning up week after week.

It actually makes me feel seriously smug. Hah.

This girl at work (who is super skinny and does low cal) commented on how much I eat the other day, and said "well considering how much you pack away I'm surprised you're not huge". I just laughed to myself, she lives on special K and cup a soups, gets drunk on 2 glasses of wine when she goes out because she does the "drinkorexia" thing starving all day so she can drink her calories and then has to be helped into a taxi by 8pm. No way to live if you ask me - I'd rather lose my weight slow and steady, be healthy, enjoy life and achieve at my sport.

My hubby is super supportive and believes this is a healthy approach, especially considering all of the issues I've had with my hormone levels and my hypothyroidism. I don't really talk to other people about it a ton. I've mentioned it in a facebook group I'm a part of where many partake in back to back cardio classes, running, etc...while eating low cal. I try to link articles and such every now and then. I really hope that I can share my great progress as I move from the reset to cut. I'm hoping that people might be encouraged to try it if they see that it works to help me get my extra poundage off!
