•Did you exercise while on the diet?
•Would you follow this diet plan again?
Why did you initially choose this diet?
Because my husband was doing it and I wanted to keep him company.
•What is the basic premise of this diet/eating plan?
That carbohydrates break down into simple sugars, spurring your body to release more insulin. The extra insulin then causes cravings for more carbohydrates. Cutting out the junk carbohydrates spurs your system to burn fat instead.

•What were two positive aspects of the diet?
After the first two days when I really felt yucky I suddenly had so much energy it was amazing. I’d jump out of bed early and was cheerful about it. Also, I never had to be hungry. Having some fat in your diet reduces the feelings of hunger.
•Were there any downsides to the diet plan? Explain.
Eating over at other people’s homes is a major hassle. They’ll serve pasta or pizza and it’s awkward. I’d always have to explain about the diet and offer to bring a dish.
•Did you have success on this diet? I did! I lost 11% of my body weight and felt terrific.
•Are you still on the diet plan?
I’m in maintenance because I reached my goal.
•Have you maintained your weight loss?
Yes, for three years now.
•Do you feel the diet is safe? Why or why not?
Every diet has risks because a lot of people don’t do their own research, take shortcuts, and don’t consult a doctor. I read the book, spent time at forums like lowcarber.org, and had my blood work done regularly by my doctor. My cholesterol went way down on this diet.
•Did you exercise while on the diet?
Not at first. But I was so encouraged by how easily and quickly the weight was coming off that I did start to work out about halfway to my goal weight.
•Would you follow this diet plan again?
I hope not to have to follow it strictly ever again. I just stay mindful of how many carbohydrates I’m consuming and if my clothes get snug, I cut back on bread, pasta, rice, and anything with lots of sugar.
