Thank you all for posting your stories. I just got the book yesterday and am very nervous about starting. The whole RM things is really scary to me. I've been doing Atkins for almost 2 years now successfully. I've lost 40 lbs and am about 10-15 lbs from goal and I'm stuck. I don't have cravings or cheat very often, an occasional 1/2 hamburger bun or some croutons here and there, but nothing major. If I could have these things occasionally, and still lose, that would be great. I can see myself choosing things like a whole grain roll, sweet potato, brown rice, or some lc pasta as my 1/3 portion of carbs at my RM. I'm over the whole white flour/sugar thing already from my Atkins journey and I have no desire to introduce those things into my diet again. It would be nice to have that option though on special occasions like the holidays. I am going to try this WOE, and make my RM carbs the ones I have listed above or something similar. Have any of you done that? Keep your carbs the whole grain healthy ones? I think the toughy for me will be limiting the sugar substitutes and diet cokes, but I'm hoping that may help me lose as well. I'm also going to give up the gum which I chew daily. Hopefully this will not become a slippery slope for me...that's my biggest fear. Your stories have really helped me have the courage to try this. Thank you all for sharing!
