I was " sorta " doing SB at the same time I got my new treadmill. I lost weight but the credit went to the 30 minutes a day on the tread rather than the " sorta SB " . Then a couple weeks ago I tripped and twisted my knee, which put the treadmill out of the question for a few weeks (it's almost healed now) but I didn't want to gain back what I lost so I decided it was time to get serious. I'm finishing my first honest SB week and feel great and have kept off what I lost and lost 3 more lbs. I tried atkins in the past and felt really bad on it, had problems with constipation and bad breath, on top of it, so quit. I've had none of that with this one and... AND my husband, the 'meat & potato' man has not said a word about the dinners and he's eating the same thing I am, except more. He's a bean-pole so doesn't need to diet and I thought he might complain. But the thing is... the food is good, so there is really nothing to complain about. He gets his bread and an occasional potato. He eats his junk food for lunch at work, out of my sight. My only reservation is that a lot of the recipes require exotic ingredients that aren't available in the boonies. I wish somebody would write a " Poor White Trash Cooking " recipe book for SB. lol Our grocery stores here tend to be meat & potato's, too. I've ordered the 30 minute cookbook which claims to be simple. I hope so. The best way to deal with the family is just not tell them they're on a diet. Just serve dinner, make the SB dishes and add the carb dishes... the mac and cheese or rice or potatoes or biscuits... you just don't eat them. And don't make enough of those dishes to have left-overs to tempt you! Well, I just wanted to say is right. It isn't really difficult once you decide to do it.
