It goes beyond weightloss too. Read some of the books about sugar, wheat, various grains and artificial sweeteners and see what they do to your body. You'd probably be keen to cut back on them too. I don't want diabetes. I don't want heart disease. I don't want cancer. I don't want high blood pressure. Even if I can't look good in a bikini, I can look good on an ECG monitor and, ultimately, that's far more important to me. Weightloss is a bonus.
I totally agree. We went on the diet for health and I had no idea that weightloss was even something that might happen. It seems to be the biggest thing that wins people over though. I'm more interested in the fact that I'm infinitely healthier than I used to be. I used to always feel this niggling sense of impending doom that I was going to develop cancer or diabetes or osteoporosis and I just don't feel concerned now. I feel healthy. I'm actually hoping I start to gain weight again as my bone density should pick up.

What sweeteners do you use? We use fruit or honey.
