Don't cut back too much, if you start feeling hungry and miserable you might fall off the wagon completely. Drink lots of water, breathe deep, and ... you do feel better on the diet even without seeing official results yet, don't you? I did. I didn't get the shakes 3 hours after eating, didn't get weak and sweaty when the sugar low hit... is it like that for you too?

Yes. I feel fine. My muscles felt a litle weak 3 or 4 days in, but that seems to have passed. My digestion is better, and I don't feel bloated, so my clothes even seem to fit a tiny bit looser. BUT the scale shows NOTHING! I know that life does not revolve around a scale, but it's frustrating. I was sure that I'd see a little loss -- I even dared to hope for 5 or 6 pounds -- but nada.

I'm not cutting back a lot, but I am eliminating salad dressings and reducing the portions a little. So far I haven't been excessively hungry. Amazing what a piece of cheese will do! All those years on Weight Watchers (and even after) I've denied myself cheese. MMMMMmmmmmmm. It seems like a real treat now and might even have the double bonus of improving the Wisconsin economy! LOL.
