Hi Moltar,
thanks for replying so quickly.
That's great that you gave feedback to the publishers. I'm going to do that too! It totally needs a section at the back in a table format telling you what's allowed in the three cateogories.
It also needs a section at the back where he puts his recipes in one place.

Oh, that's cool about the oatmeal - make your own mix. I used to do it already but I found myself eating too much. You're right it is delicious. I once ate half a packet of oats! Dangerous.

The think I think is good about the diet is that it really makes you see how many calories you're consuming. For example, you're allowed dark chocolate, but you're only allowed say, 50calories from it. I used to wolf down 3-4 squares of 85% Lindt dark chocolate...now I'm only allowed half a square each fat meal. Actually, come to think of it, I'm not sure if it's a fat or a carb.
See...this is what I mean. Not a lot of clarity. He should at least give guidelines so you can decide what's what for yourself by reading the nutritional information.

Thanks for clearing up the 'are fruits free foods'. Yes. I thought as much, especially since most fruits have so much sugar in them. But I swear, the way it's written in the book, he makes it seem as if all fruits (except bananas and watermelon) are free fruits. But that whole section isn't clear anyway.

Congratulations in sticking with it Moltar. I'm glad it's given you results!

Do you think yoghurt is a protein meal?

Oh, and how long did it take you to lose the weight? Did you notice a difference straight away?

thanks!
