[Edit: And Vader, it ain't no stinkin' diet. It's just changing WHAT you eat, not HOW MUCH you eat. Which is why you don't feel hungry. You can eat until you're satisfied, but so long as you don't eat carbs, the fat isn't "fattening." Now don't get me started!]
Most definitely not, Slarty. If anything I'm very grateful that you and a couple others here got me really motivated to try this diet. So far, so good. I'm positive I'll lose weight. In fact, I already have.
Thanks, Bubba!
*as in: Diets work by restricting HOW MUCH you eat. But you can accomplish the same end by restricting WHAT, not HOW MUCH you eat. Now which would you rather do?
