Well, I'm sad to say that this book didn't work for me. I had such high hopes that it would. When I read about this book, I thought, "They're talking about me!" I really believed that I'm a carb addict and I was sure that this book would help me break the carb cycle and to lose those stubborn 10 pounds. Unfortunately, it didn't. I may have lost a pound or two, but nothing significant. I did really well during the day, but by the time I got to my Reward Meal, I had a hard time controlling my portions. I seem to do better if I count calories, because I think very hard before I put ANY food in my mouth. Since I didn't have to count with this plan, I know I ate too much at the Reward Meal. Plus, there's only so much protein that a person can handle! I'm a picky eater, which really limited my choices-it seemed like I was eating the same foods over and over. I stuck with it for one month, then called it quits.
