Nittany - I totally get that feeling that this is too good to be true and couldn't work for you. But seriously, stick with it and make sure you aren't getting hidden carbs somewhere. Because I never believed any diet could work for me either, but this one is! It's like a miracle. Do this: give it a full month. You can do that. I'm willing to bet you will feel better and start losing. If I can, you can, believe me. I don't exercise, I smoke and it's still working.
