Hi everyone,

Just wanted to introduce myself and share the experience i had in my first week.

I was introduced to David's book by a friend and i started reading it thinking " yet another crappy diet"...but as i was reading i realized this was exactly what i have been looking for ,for years.

Like David,i did all the other diets only to fail and put more on...took me 2 days to read the book and started mainly by curiosity...to prove it wrong....but to my surprise ,a miracle was unfolding.

Been on this new way of eating for 1 week only but so many things have changed....

* my local takeaway food shop makes a mean " Nasi Goreng" with eggs and schnitzel....I used to absolutely love that dish...and it never tasted sweet to me...i got some today and to my surprise....i picked out the meat...had 2 tablespoonfuls of it and i had to throw it out...it tasted soooo sweet and yuck . I went back and asked them if they started putting sugar in it...they said they always made it that way...same thing happened to my sushi rolls...was too sweet to my taste.I really could not eat it.

* the other thing that keeps happening to me...something i have not experienced in many years...within a day my " I had enough" feeling came back...to the point that my tummy was hurting from being full ,with less than half the amount of food i would normally eat...and still feel hungry in half an hour later.

I used to " graze"...Today for example...i got up with that full feeling and i could not eat till 4pm...had a coffee and water...but could not eat yet.

You have no idea what that feels like it to me....my body is back in control...

I lost 3kg this week...probably mostly water...but i feel like i can easily live on this new way of eating....i even craved salad ....That is new to me...

I have been praying for something to come my way to help me...and as simple as this is...i feel it is like the " holly-grail ". It has been such a long time since i had this "I had enough" feeling....I have seen numerous doctors regarding me not being able to stop eating...and ,although some told me about the leptin resistance,insulin resistance and ghrelin ...they have never been able to do for me what David's book did...So...David...thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the effort you put into this book and i bought the lot...Small price to pay for so much help...i spent thousands of dollars on doctor's visits with no real result....this i can finally handle living on.
