My Fiancee has went from having a high BP of 150/100 to 100/70 so thats good health wise and for her also( her mother has a low bp also). After this trip away working she is going back to a normal diet. And that means that she will have lost about 7 stone 40kg in 5 months which is great as I was saying earlier. And all the benefits far outweigh the cons she is more confident in herself ,can do so much more than she could a few months ago, she now opts to walk rather than drive, she is now out of big clothes and is wearing clothes that show off her figure rather than the having the big hide under black and baggy clothes. I'm sure this will cost a fortune but hey its her happiness and if she's happy then that makes me happy.
I dont have to agree with the physiological effects of the diet that she is on and I cant say that I ever will. But it is working and she's happy what more can I ask for?
I think that it is a good way to loose weight and it is quick also. Great but I dont think that anyone can say with any certainty that it is a totally safe form of weight loss and thats the part that gets me a little jittery.
