I didn't go nuts on the carbs though. I was still very conscious of what I was eating. Like my brother said ..."it is about making a lifestyle change with the way you eat". He is the one who bought the book for both me and my Dad.
I start it back up tomorrow...the best part is that you don't feel hungry. But, kicking carbs is like kicking a bad crack habit... 
Boy, is that the truth.
