im 16 and have been on the diet for a day and a half. i tired it last week but i messed up after only 4 days, so im starting again. i did this type of diet in the 8th grade and lost 10 pounds, so im hoping it'll work again. i also lost about 10 punds over the past year by exercising and trying to keep my calories down. so now im changing the diet and trying the lowcarb one.
