Just got through reading the book. I am hoping this diet might help me! I don't have a lot of weight to lose: 15-20 lbs. I already lost about 30 thanks to Weight Watchers. I have been stuck now for a year. I lose...then gain...then lose...then gain...and on and on. My main problem is that I am always hungry! This is where the book hit home! The more bad carbs I eat, the more I want. I feel like I am never satisfied for long! The other health benefits of the diet also interest me. I just turned 65 last week and have been blessed with good health that I hope to maintain for many years to come! Started in Phase 1 this morning with a 2-egg veggie omelette: spinach, mushrooms, peppers, and onions. Also a little chopped low fat ham and cheese. Need to hit the grocery store soon to stock up on Phase 1 food! Will read through your posts to get inspiration and recipe ideas! Wish me luck!!
