I hate to change the subject back to the original topic, but I am jumping for joy since reading this book and implementing the advice in it. I am back on track, I have lost all cravings for carbs and have lost 9 pounds since Nov 29-04. Today as I was walking to work from the bus-stop, such a wonderful, overwhelming feeling of joy to be alive swept over me that I am still flabbergasted. I thank whoever started this thread from the bottom of my heart.
