LDL has changed my life. It is not a diet. It cannot compare in any way to any diet plan that I have ever tried. On other plans I have felt deprived, I white knuckled through a few days or weeks until a dinner came along or a special event and in one night all my hard work would begin to unravel. :thumbdown:
When you start eating the LDL way, there is built in resolve. You do not feel deprived. Roger has given us a food to address every craving. I don't even have cravings. This has never happenned to me. You feel satisfied! Within a few days, your energy goes through the roof! You not only have energy to get through your day- you have energy to burn. You feel so good, you WANT to exercise!
There are also a ton of subtle changes that many of us have noted in other posts, including the disappearance of chin hairs (on women - don't worry men, you can still grow a beard!), banishment of cellulite, flattened bellies, lost inches, better dental checkups, less meds and more fun! BTW, I have lost 42 lbs since I started and in the past 2 - 3 weeks I have not actually lost any more weight, but my body is adjusting. I see a difference in the way my clothes fit - daily. Pants that were tight 2 wks ago, fit me last week and now are almost too big to wear! That has never happened to me before, either!
The time will pass anyway, Wouldn't you rather emerge on the other end of it feeling more alive and healthy than you have in ages? Today is October 1st, a wonderful day for a new beginning. By the New year, you could lose as much as 30 lbs (which a lot of us have done in 3 short months).
Sooooo, what do you say? Come out and introduce yourself!

! I and many (most) participants on this board have tried it all. Several have had weight loss surgery. We have all found LDL to be the answer to our prayers. We eat real, whole, delicious foods, eat until we are satisfied, and discard weight. I know I will eat this way for the rest of my life. It is a wonderful program, and this board is composed of the most helpful, knowledgable, and generous people you will ever "meet"! Best wishes for a healthier future. Pam
No no no need to have a food journal. It works for some. I didn't have one and Like Pam said - I ate mostly the same - and I wasn;t having any issues. But I do post a lot bc I like the interaction. I also find I get inspiration from everyone and I also get Love 
Sometimes I would have it as soon as I finished a full meal. The food was in control. 
I grew up on LSU football -- born on game day in 1958, so my mom and dad had to change plans and not attend the away game at Rice that year. My first toy was a little LSU football player doll. True! As you know they won the national championship that year, so I always joked that the year I got married they'd win it again. Well, I got married rather late in life at 44 yrs. old -- yes, I did, in the year 2003! We married in April and then they won the championship.
