Hi
I have been on this diet since monday sept. 20 it is now sept 22. In 2 days i lost 6 pounds i know its water weight but im happy to be losing something. I dont find this diet hard at all. I was off of work today so i thought i would try some of the recipes for phase one. I tried the peanut chicken,asian greenbean salad,aggieland zucchini and for dessert pineapple orange sherbet. It was so good. I didnt feel like i was on a diet. Im also making my own jerky. I know that i will stick with this diet. I dont find it to be to restrictive and i like the food. I do miss my bread with my eggs but i know ill have that again soon. I wish everyone luck who is doing this diet. Keep up the good work.

Hiya Hotie ~

I am in my 5th week of SB....and lovin' it! I stayed almost 4 weeks on Phase I to make sure all the cravings were gone. I'm very slowly introducing Phase 2 items now.
This is truly a 'lifestyle' change and a way of eating that I will continue. I agree that it doesn't feel restrictive, and doesn't feel like a diet. I have to laugh cuz I missed my bread soooooooo much; now, I haven't even been anxious to add it back. I've ventured back in with the 96% fat free whole wheat tortillas instead.
I have dropped 15 lbs exactly since starting this. Slow and stady wins the race, right?

Hi watchfuleye
Congratulation on the 15 pound loss. I plan on doing phase 1 for another 2 weeks also. I have lots of weight to lose. Your right the slower we lose the better it is to keep it off. I have followed lose weight fast diets and always gained it all back plus a few more pounds. I know this time i will make it to my goal. This is easy. thanks for responding.
