Hi, Carolyn. Glad you're liking JUDDD. I take resveratrol, too. Don't know if it's doing anything. I've been doing this since March 26th and have lost 6#. I've been holding that for a week now. Hope I'm not stalling out again. But I'm going to give this a fair chance. They way it can take longer for some to get to the "not hungry all the time on down days" stage and for the SIRT-1 gene to "turn on", so I'll be patient. Still trying to do my UP days low-carb though. Don't want to re-introduce bad carbs after having weaned myself off them. I can't even imagine doing HCG. Not willing to inject my body with such stuff; not willing to eat so little either, at least not more than every other day .
