Yes, yes I have lost weight. Please do not "compliment" me by saying "Wow, you were obese before." That's rude. Your mother should have taught you better. A simple "You look great," is always appreciated. Anyway this book is what I followed, and it worked. It's not strict, which is why it works, but it's not easy. It is always easier to eat pre-packaged crap than to actually think about the food you eat. But the idea of really focusing on the pleasure I get when I eat quality food works for me. PLus it's a blast to read.
I have 2 criticisms:
1) If you were to follow the menu planning, and you are single, you could easliy spend 80-100 a week on food, and you will be exhausted. A single person cannot make a different entrée for dinner every night, keep 3 kinds of cereal and 5 kinds of bread in the house. A single person must learn to use leftovers. I think one day's worth of meal-planning from this book is easily a week's worth of menus. ...more
