  • My cheat day is coming to a close after dinner in 10 minutes. I've had a large cinnamon roll and mousse pie that I bought yesterday at pastry school, orange chicken with lo mein noodles, a Mountain Dew, and now about to enjoy lasagna with french garlic bread. I honestly can't wait to get back to slow-carb tomorrow.
  • That's what I did last week. I ate a slow-carb breakfast, then followed the rules in "Damage Control" for lunch to dinner. I didn't eat after 8 pm (I go to bed at 11) and things worked out great.

Especially since I have to taste things as I make them. That makes it that much harder. But I've been buying a product at the end of each day and taking it home and sticking it…
  • I've been on this diet for a week now. During that time I've dropped 9 pounds, lost 1% body fat, and a total of 4 inches off my stomach, arms and thighs.
