The plan I follow - Cameron - started out as samizdat (mimeographed sheets passed around) in the early 1960s and is still around. The plan consists of eating less than 60 grams of carbs per day. That's it, everything else is explanation of how it works or why it works or recipes or suggested menus.
No need to publish books about it - Cameron wasn't interested in making money off his plan. I've seen several people here talk about plans they follow that don't include books. Some of them have simple instructions online, or on paper. If the plan is low-carb, we can help each other follow it and succeed at it.
Lisa, I used to do the Fit For Life thing of fruit alone for breakfast until I started low-carbing. After a month or so, I realized I felt better with the fruit alone for breakfast, so I've been eating berries or melon or other low-carb fruit for breakfast, and eating low-carb for the rest of the day. Just another way to try it - your grapefruit or grapefruit juice might go down easier that way.
My mother used the Mayo Clinic diet, the one you follow, and I did it with her occasionally. It did work. Like Blumunz, I invite you to my journal for additional help and encouragement.
