Well, I can't say it has been easy, but after the first 8 weeks I was completely fine.  Even prior to that what with headaches, nausea, abdominal upset, flu-like symptoms - I stuck with it.  Mainly, I think, becuase I didn't want to go through this discomfort again. -Weight-loss is slow and steady and heading in the right direction. Have just purchased David's "Real Food Cook Bookänd have made the Sourdough starter (day 4 so far).  Best thing is that I'm not hungry anymore whereas in the past if I was being careful with my diet I was constantly thinking about food and never feeling full. Happy days.  David, you are a legend!
