I'm only on the 5th chapter or so and I didn't realize when I got the book that she would be pushing a Paleo type diet with a somewhat odd meal structure throughout the day. I'll read the whole thing before I form an opinion and let ya'll know what I think.
Yes, I didn't quite resonate all the way with the Paleo part, but I appreciated the aspect of her observation about carbs/sugars/flours and processed foods in general - that those are the culprits that often cause issues for people in maintenance.
I think what I like most about the book is just the overall statistics about what seems to work for people, and reminding myself that those who are able to successfully maintain have certain habits that are different than what they were doing before the weight loss.
I am doing OK -
In adding the exercise I added some food, and am up on the scale due to the combination, but OK with that. I anticipated that might happen as I was a little sore after the exercise. I'm not going to do a lot today physically, so having a lighter day with food to let the inflammation/water retention go down some I hope.
