Donna, thanks for your thoughts! I couldn't agree more. This program really works and it's amazing what you can get done when your mind isn't consumed (no pun intended) with food. Since I started the program, I toyed with the 5 and 1 but like Nick, this can spell doom for a compulsive eater. I'm trying to stick with the full fast and it works well as long as I drink my water and have a shake or other meal at regular intervals to keep the munch-monster at bay.
Today I went out to run some errands and I am ashamed to admit that in the past, many of the errands were just an excuse to go to my favorite drive-through and pig out on fattening foods. What a difference now. I had an iced coffee with sugar free syrup in it and drove past all my "old haunts" with no desire to hit the drive through. Yeah!!!
