I just joined today. My first post! I actually came here to see if anyone was doing this diet. I am on my 9th day. I find it very doable. For one, I know I can get through 4 days of anything. By having it change every 4, it keeps it interesting. I also do much better on highly structured diets. I got the book from the library and copied each of the diet days. I keep it with me.
I would in
no way call this low carb. Maybe just because of the first 4 detox days, but when I put my daily food into the sparkpeople food tracker, it shows I'm way high on carbs. But GOOD carbs, that's for sure. In fact, I'm in the Protein phase right now and you have a sandwich every day. How is that low carb?
It involves a lot of brown rice and beans, like fat smash does. I've even got my hubby on it, and he isn't complaining. I get as creative as I can with each day's items. For example, in the Transition phase, you get eggs and brown rice. We made a great "fried rice" with scrambled egg, veg, etc.
I have also used the '2 snacks' as the meals, etc. I cannot wait to see how much I lose in 28 days. I've got hypothyroid and weight just never comes off... I'm down 3.5 in 1 week and hope that I stay slow n steady at least 1 lb per week.
Ask me anything, I've got the whole thing pretty memorized!
