Good read. Thanks for posting. I'm back on a diet (just losing vanity lbs, not anything as worthwhile as your goal and success), but don't think your plan would quite work for me; eating is too much a part of social-life for me, so imposing restrictions on what I can cook for friends and what they can cook for me sounds no fun.

I've been mostly on the "Eat less. Exercise more." diet, which has worked for me in the past. Still your post is definitely good inspiration, and I appreciate the candid trip report. Good work.

That's fine - good luck. My diet was/is an "Eat less. Exercise more." diet. It's just a different kind.

Incidentally, while there may be restrictions, there are also benefits. For instance, my triglycerides and cholesterol are excellent and I can dip bacon in hollandaise sauce and still lose weight.

I can eat lots of things that would kill me if I were also eating carbs - because instead of using the fat for fuel, which my body does, it would be using the sugar for fuel and storing the fat in my gut and the cholesterol in my arteries.

So it's a toss-up, and one that I'm quite happy with. Good luck. [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]
