For those asking for more tips, and questions about can I eat this or that, I hope you will refer to the book! It's a reasonable price to pay for a quite astonishing work... The diet worked for me. I find it difficult to follow for more than two weeks max at a time, but I've noticed (as Time states in the book) that the effect can last after the you have gone back to less healthy eating. I certainly found that. In my first attempt (11 days, 1 binge day) I lost 7 lbs. Pretty good odds. Second time I've lost another 6 lbs, after about 1 1/2 weeks. I do find it difficult in some ways. I have more mental clarity, don't need as much sleep, have more energy; but I found myself becoming depressed, felt hollow and empty inside--I know this is because carbohydrates have a calming effect on the mood, and without them--it's like going through drug withdrawal! So over all, with thanks to Tim, I have gone from about 184 to166--with slight changes of a pound or two up or down. However, this has been over the course of almost 1 year, so I do consider this long-term weight-loss success. I did my first diet in April of 2011, weighing well over 180, and today I weigh 167 (at 5'10, very muscular). I'm suiting up for another go to lose the last 5-8 lbs, which for me will mean no more belly roll to speak of, and small amount of remaining fat on arms and thighs will go. I found that THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR SUCCESS ON THIS DIET is to have your meals either prepared in advanced or VERY easily preparable--this is not a diet where you can just grab a quick snack, so this time round I will be making large batches of my diet main-stays a few times a week, so I always have a meal ready to heat up! Up until this point I have always believed it's not what you eat, it's how much--I am grateful that I could suspend disbelief long enough to learn from this remarkable person! Thank you, Tim!
