Let me preface this by saying...I've ordered the book and am waiting for it to arrive in the mail, so the only knowledge I have is what I've found on the internet, but what I've read sounds really good.
I am a Weight Watchers dropout. As wonderful as I think Weight Watchers is, as an addict of sweets and carbs I tended to pack in all 22 points in bread, sugar, or beer!! Not healthy...lost weight, but didn't feel good, and was ALWAYS hungry. Always.
While on WW, I was as derisive as I could be to my parents, who were on Atkins. I thought they were crazy. But now, almost ten months later and 12 pounds heavier, and beset with a constant, crazed, never-ending desire for sugar and carbs, I find myself at SBD.
Day one today. I don't know why and I can't really explain it, but I haven't had a hunger pang all day, staying away from sugar feels easy, and I have energy. Interesting. We'll see how I feel one week later!!
Glad to find this board! I'm getting ready to read up on all your messages to find out more!
Peace...MM
