"Bread For Life" Diet WORKING

I started the "Bread For Life" diet on the 2nd of February and have lost 7 lbs in 2 weeks. Who'd have thought a high carb diet might be the answer to my weight loss woes??

Author, Olga Raz is as popular in Israel as Atkins was here.

The diet is easy to follow; lots of fiber-rich bread and veggies; yogurt or fruit daily; meat and eggs 3 times a week; and alcohol occasionally. Easy to have a meal out... just choose a large salad with low fat dressing and a side of bread OR chose a chicken breast or steak with a side of vegetables and a salad. You eat so often you do not get hungry.

The cons are.. you will get sick of phase 1 after about 7 days and be ready to start phase 2 which will slow down weight loss. I was able to stick with phase 1 for about 10 days. I also have had a mild headache off and on since starting the diet.

I do still have the staples in my ears, but doubt they are contributing to the weight loss so far. I do need to lose about 50 lbs and plan to continue the diet until I reach my goal.

UPDATE: 14.5 lbs. gone in 5 1/2 weeks! This diet amazes me! I had pizza and birthday cake last week and still managed to see a loss.
