Probably not. IF I had also lost some weight during those months... I'm sure I would have stuck to it. But it's not an easy diet to follow and when I didn't see results of any kind, I gave it up.

I happened to stumble back onto this thread when doing a search on google. I'm amazed at how many people have this disease!
