I am so glad to hear about the new cookbook. I started to order it from Amazon but thought I would like to see it first. Your reviews are good enough for me. Just got to have it now.
I started the diet on Dec 1 at 171 and now I am at 135. I am 61 years old and I am 5'9" tall. See, anyone who sticks, can get it off. Good luck and I hope this will become a way of life for you. It has for me, and I am sticking to it. I never see a weight gain, it's just the loss is so slow now.
Keep at it.
