valencia2011 - I did not follow the programs specifically. I did the workouts as directed but followed my own diet plan. I stick to a 1200-1500 calorie intake per day and try and keep it low carb/ low fat. Some days are better than others and I do allow myself a treat every once in a while.

I also try and drink at least 64oz of water each day.
edited to add: I do not drink any form of soda and very very rarely drink juice. I also try to stay away from cheese and I can't even remember the last time I tasted mayo. lol
