 Great Information April 9, 2008

I was so ready to try this ultra simple diet until I realized how much money I'd have to spend. Everything made sense and the testimonies sounded encouraging. So, if you can afford it, I think it will be great. But for a family of 5, with a regular income, I don't see it happening. Maybe I can do 1 or 2 small changes and get a 2nd job. :-)

An excellent book on metabolism and weight loss, or lack thereof. It explains simply and in detail why it is so hard to lose weight and the relationship between what we eat and how it affects our bodies. The programme is a step by step one, designed for busy people. And above all, it works. Not always easy, as old habits are harder to break than one thinks.
I would recommend this to anyone wanting to understanding their metabolism and digestive system.

My husband and I did the first week strictly as described in the book. He lost 8 lbs. and I lost 3 lbs. (I'm not overweight). We've been following the guidance in the book for about a month now (gradually adding back in different foods) and he's lost 17 lbs. and I'm still maintaining. We feel really good.
Benefits for him:
Within a few days his snoring was nearly gone. I really don't understand why, but it was clearly noticeable. He also was able to stop taking his Prilosec for heartburn.
Benefits for me:
After a few days, I had much more energy than usual. The sugar cravings go away after a couple of days as well.
What's hard about it:
The first week might be hard if you're a big coffee drinker or someone with a sweet tooth (like me!) It'll be worth it if you stick with it though.
What we did to make it easier:
We bought Trader Joe's organic vegetable broth instead of making our own. Most grocery stores stock Pacific or Imagine brands vegetable broth in the health food section too. Way easier. We also used Uncle Ben's Instant Whole Grain Brown rice - you can microwave it and it's done in 10 minutes instead of 40. We bought frozen berries from Costco for the shakes - Costco also had bulk containers of rice protein and flax along with many other foods we needed for the program. Between Costco and Trader Joe's it was easy to find what we needed.
Experiment with the shakes. Adding a little bit of almond butter and half a banana makes them taste really great.
It's going to take a little effort to get into the routine, but once you do, it's easy and you'll feel wonderful.
