Its been about 3 weeks now that I've been on this diet and wanted to post an update for my experiences.

No hunger cravings: In the book the author detailed that hunger cravings go away after about 3 weeks. This is indeed true, as my hunger craving seem to have subsided or I just don't notice them anymore.

Weakness: I had, off an on, been feeling a little woosy and light headed, usually when I worked out. This was easily corrected by increasing my total caloric intake for my meals and started eating more. Alot more. So my body is now able to reserve its energy and I don't feel the lightheadedness. Training yourself to eat around 2,500 or more calories in one meal takes a little getting used to.

Love of Food: I can't begin to tell you the euphoria that food brings to me now! I completely look forward to eating. Its like food tastes better, I can sample more foods, have more variety, and eat whatever I want. That freedom is delicious! I can polish off a whole pizza, brownies, pot stickers, tempura veggies, and still lose body fat.

Overall, I love this diet. I have regained my love of eating, and my body is looking better than ever. My only concerns now are: gaining lean muscle mass, and uping my meal size at the end of the day.

Stay tuned

Ben
