If there's anything I've learned from this board is that every human body is unique. If you're smart you'll find a plan that you can live with and just stick to it for life. I know for a fact that I wouldn't be able to stick to FF because of the limited calories and other restrictions. BUT I do like the ideas she presents about having a clean, healthy liver to help my poor body metabolize fats and rid my body of toxins (I live in the 2nd most pollluted city in the country) .... so I just made a visit to the ol' health store and had a chat with the manager. Now I have an herbal regimen that at least HELPS my liver be the best it can be. I'm content with that compromise.

By far the most important decision a "dieter" can make is to determine which plan will work best for them over the VERY long term. The RATE of fat loss should be way down the list of priorities.... but I keep forgetting that not everyone thinks the way I do
