Hi Latte,
yeah, I was following southbeach, but it uses things like splenda, etc. I really can't eat those and lose weight. Going to try to follow the btd more closely, along with schwarzbein principles. I really think whole foods are the way to go. I already knew from reading schwarbein, that "diet" type foods don't work for me....
Do you go to the BTD website, dadamo.com, there's a forum there....?
