Thanks for all the info. I have been on the PP solution for 5 days and I am down 4.5 lbs. My formula so far is 1500 cal, 30 carbs, and 109 protein. I have to watch my calories. For years I haven't been able to find what it would take to go down my 100 lbs but I think if I follow this PP diet, I may make it this time.
I use a program Weight-By-Date that I found on the web and it is great. Such a nice tool and user friendly. Similar to the one on the WW program.
I think I will order the 30 day carb book.
