I started this diet about 3 months ago. I was always athletic and active, but I had put on an unhealthy amount of weight, particularly around the middle over the last 8-9 years. I have a bad knee from old injury and had really started to feel the effects of my added weight.
In 3 months I have totally transformed my body and especially have lost the weight around the middle ( the worst kind) and my knee has improved to the point I barely notice it. My clothes are now falling off me and I am down a couple of sizes already.
The most amazing part of this, for me has been how ridiculously easy it is for me to follow this way of eating. I have not felt deprived and have not really felt any strong temptations to cheat.
Benefits go beyond weight loss for me.
