Yes. You CAN cheat a little, but the problem is that it's like a drunk---first you say, oh this brownie won't hurt. And it won't. But if you're like me, it's soon, "Oh, this afternoon brownie snack won't hurt before a dinner with lots of pasta and after a lunch with two slices of bread."

Again, if you haven't seen his bigger book, "Good Calories, Bad Calories," it's got far more studies.

You are absolutely right. I have to get steeled for a complete change in the way I eat. I know it works, but it is difficult to eat this way.
