Well, Harriet, maybe there's something to this. I know the last time I lost weight it went off so s---l---o---w that I just gave up. There were lots and lots of time I had a bunch of calories left in the day and ate a granola bar or something...or I had enough for a small portion of ice cream... so making up calories with something like that might leave me with a good calorie count but way over for the sugar.
Unfortunate that a lot of the vegetables I like are the starchy ones, lima beans, sweet potatoes, white potatoes, beans, cauliflower (that too?). I did know about carrots being bad and haven't bought any of them. I od'd on celery sticks so I can't look at them for a while unless they're mixed with something!
You have his book? What's it called? Are you finding enough to eat? I've been going to bed hungry!
I'm thinking about how similar this is to Atkins (Adkins?) and I'm wondering, this doesn't get one into that keto... state (I don't know what it's called) does it?
And I'm wondering how it jives with cholesterol. Cheeses being ok, huh really? I thought I'd do this until my cholesterol tests came back better then try to add in a few of those things...half-and-half, really? But keeping those things out and limiting all fruits too, and my morning oatmeal, I just might starve to death.
