My wife and I did it and I lost 45 pounds, and felt great. Why does
anybody think that giving up sugar, flour, potatoes and "sweet" fruits
are necessarily bad for you. You only give up the fruits for a short
time, then you can eat them sparingly.

My doctor pretty much summed it up when he saw the results and found
out how I did it. His response "I've never had to put anybody in the
hospital from following this diet."
