I do not know about this diet. However, I would like to pass on what has happened for me over the past year.In no way do I have any reason to think it will help anyone else nor am I endorsing it as a possible diet solution.

I am 56 years old and had always carried about 60 extra pounds. A year ago, I was diagnosed with Adult ADD. My doctor put me on Ritalin. The Ritalin helps me with my ADD but it has also had a side effect that has changed my life.

Since being on the Ritalin, I have more energy at the end of the day which has allowed me to get into a regular walking routine. Also, for whatever unknown reason, it has helped curb my appetite.

With the walking and eating less, I have taken off the sixty pounds that I have always wanted to lose. I feel good and seem more connected to life.

Good luck to you. I hope something works for you.

Ritalin gave you more energy and curbed your appetite because it's speed (well almost speed), and that's what amphetamines do to people.

Since being on the Ritalin...

It works because it is an amphetamine. Ask your doctor if he would take it for an extended period of time. I have never found a doctor who would take it, even those who have no trouble prescribing it for others and even children.

Please, please, please get a second opinion or see if you can come off of this now that you are more disciplined in your daily behaviors.
