I really don't even know where to start! I heard about FTS about a year ago from owensmath. I read the book a couple of Saturdays ago and as I read the book I kept thinking "this guy must have met me and my family." As I turned the pages I was also thinking "these are the same excuses, the same diets, the same scenarios that have played out in my life since I was in 4th grade." I am working my way into this and trying a couple of new recipes at a time and have stayed below 20 net carbs fairly easily. I have done a couple of things to help me when I am at the grocery store-- I created a list that I keep in my phone of the "good" things I can pick up at the store including brands to look for. I also took pictures of the vegetable pages from the book so that I can quickly look up how many carbs in a half cup. I have lost almost 1/2 pound a day since I started 11 days ago! The only issues that I have had are some withdrawal headaches and some regrets that I didn't start this several months ago when I first heard about it! I am so excited and pray that this is the answer I've been searching for for years.
