We did have success... We didn't stick with it, though and DH has put all of his weight back on, but it certainly did work, and it certainly did seem like you were eating real food - and it was yummy.

For me - I don't cope with the diets that are "eat this at this meal" for any length of time - so I actually did better on a plan where I was set free to eat what I wanted when I wanted and I just had to keep the amounts of carbs, fat and protein within certain levels (as well as over all kilojoules). It turned out to be very similar, but I enjoyed being a bit more free, if that makes any sense.
