I began SBD on January 1st of this year. I have found it to be the easiest food plan to follow. As I mentioned to my DH, the Dr. developed it for his diabetic and cardiac patients. You are eating foods that will help control your blood sugar and reduce your chances of developing heart disease. How much more could you ask? As Dr. A. said, that was his first intention, and the weight lose was an added bonus.
That is how I see this food plan for me. It's a three-fer! I have lost 16 lbs since January 1st. I did have to relose 9 of those when I went back home and really fell off the plan but I didn't have a problem getting right back on and following it again. So, maybe you could say I have lost 16 lbs plus 9 lbs= 25 lbs. total.
I plan on following this way of eating until my last breathe.
