  • This is my second time doing this diet ad like the first time I'm quiet impressed with the result. Did it in 2012 and kept the weight off till I had my LO nine months ago....funny thing is I still weighed less than I did when I initially started the "diet" in 2012. So for everyone who's dead setting that you'll gain the…
  • Well put!
  • Its a good book. But like everything else you have to put in the work or it's just another book in your hand. Whatever it is people choose to do, as long as they are consistent then it'll work. I definitely can't live without carbs lol so this diet helped to curve the need for carbs to something that is manageable.
  • Yeah I was used to eating pretty late, just a cultural thing..... But when I went to Brazil they ate late but it's what they ate that made a huge difference. I didn't realize it till I got home and even though I ate like crazy I lost 10lbs! But they have the main meals in the mornings. Anything super high in carb is eaten…
  • It's does give you moderations and serving sizes. There are some stuff you can eat as much as you want too. I find keeping track with MFP ensures I'm getting enough of calories, especially because I'm nursing. I have done it without MFP before. But I have to pay closer attention to the nutrient portion closely due to…
  • I come from a background where rice is the staple for every meal. I had to literally cut it out for 30days then reintroduce brown rice to my diet slowly before I could moderate it. But that's what this diet helped with. Change is not so easy for everyone. Just like smoking some people can quit cold turkey others need…
  • My husband has lost 6lbs in 4days. Just from the change with suppers. He still eats his normal stuff during the day. But that simple change has made a big difference. And I absolutely love some of the recipe. Really easy and quick! And honestly who would've thought kefir could taste so good?!!!
  • The awesome eating habits you form from this is what keeps the weight off. Honestly this forced me to start drinking tons of water and made me try green tea for the first time, which I loved and continued to drink instead of my normal double double coffee. Other great points was I stopped eating carbs after 2pm. Just by…
  • This does teach you to change your eating habits. Before I told anyone that this was just a "fad diet" I actually tried it....cause you don't want to discourage a person if something does work. Either way I was completely surprised that it worked. What may work for one person may not work for all, so don't shoot down…
  • No problem! Keep up the good job, it's worth it!
  • You are definitely not lazy for using this diet. At least you are taking charge and doing something about the weight gain. There are several benefits to this approach....won't go into it right now. But I've seen tons of patients use this and keep the weight off. Actually I got started on this after a patient came in and…
  • I actually used this in 2012 lost 30lbs and kept it off. Just restarted it again because due to having a baby. Only difference is I added a extra carb to breakfast..... This is an excellent way of weight loss, the initial weight you lose does not come back. So be it water, sodium or whatever ppl say, it encouraging to see…
  • I didn't realize I had to weigh condiments :| I keep getting final calorie intake for the day way under what my goal is. But I think, after reading this, my margin of error is probably close to 30%
