Congratualtions with your success!

Hi there.
I follow most of the main points as outlined in the DANDR book. The main way I modified it to suit me was never having a strict induction (in the book it does say you can skip it under certain circumstances), and I have never been that careful about counting my carbs. I have a general rough idea, and I did try to slowly add back foods like higher sugar fruits and whole grains in moderation.
My reasoning for going about it this way was based on that I have a past history of eating disorders (annorexia, and binge eating), and obsessive compulsive disorder so I didnt want to get to caught up in the "numbers game" again. Its been working for me. I still have a long ways to go before I am really fit but I feel a lot better now than I have in a long time.
