Has anybody had success with this diet? It basically just seems like the Atkins Diet to me.
After being told a year ago that my husband would need to a liver transplant in appx. 10 years, the time frame has changed pretty dramatically several times with his last trip to Baylor resulting in them telling us he'll need it within the next year. They told him that he met the criteria to have it done right away if he got his BMI down. He's dropped 17 lbs in 2 weeks. He has about another 20 to go. I'm losing too but not nearly that fast. (Men always lose weight faster. :noid: )
In the past, the thing that's worked best for me is cutting out fats. So I tend to eat little meat and very lean if I do. I have a friend who is a health nut and says after the research he's done, he suggests that leaving out the good fat in meats could actually cause me to not lose as much weight.
Thoughts?
