The diet will work if you stick to the program.You didn't mention breakfast. Maybe you should start. Not eating the right combinations of foods will make you stall and cheating on the plan will definely not work.Not eating the protein breakfast and lunch will leave you starved so when you get home you will not stick to the plan.And the REward Meal has to be eaten in one hour and anything you nibble on has to be included in the hour.Hope this helps.Wawtigress
