lauralhWow, i'm still amazed. I actually talked to my mom about it just before M-day and she bought the book. So, yay. My mother has struggled with her weight since god, 1982 probably. When I was in jr. high she did that juice diet thing and lost a bunch of weight, but since then gain gain gain. This diet is a) easy b) reasonable c) works so, hope she can make a real lifestyle change.
As for me, I'm not going strict hardcore phase 2 right now - that's supposed to be the gradual re-introduction of "good" carbs. I mean, I had pho (with noodles) last night and sushi (with white rice) for lunch. But the main thing I've noticed is that I am totally almost never hungry anymore. I still try to eat every three hours, but half the time I feel no desire to. Well, except when I feel slightly faint from hypoglycemia or something. But a piece of cheese or dried apricots usually fix it.
I don't know if i'm "losing weight" but my clothes are still fitting better and better. The other night I totally pulled out all my high school dresses and pants and most of them still didn't fit perfect but better than they have since I moved here. So I was all doing a happy dance. The only problem is that the skin on my stomach has nothing firm to hold it up anymore so I don't really like the way it looks bare. But, whatever.
