I haven't begun the program yet, but have read the book. Absolutely fantastic. Finally understanding how our food impacts our bodies. I've cleaned out my cupboard and refrigerator, and very little is left inside.  I'm really afraid about giving up my bread. I am a bread-a-holic!  However, at my age (78) I really need to drop weight. Although I am not severely overweight, 150 is knocking on my door and if I continue in my present course, it should be anytime now. My wonderful Mom just passed away a few months ago, and she was overweight to the point she had trouble walking. One of her last statements to me was.."don't let this happen to you".  Since then I have been looking for an answer and I know Doug and Sherri have found the answer.
