I have heard over and over that this works for some people.Anyone have any thoughts here?

Yes, of course, Muse.... lots of thoughts 
Our bodies can adapt to much, look at how long we spent eating next to nothing trying to lose weight.... it learned how to get by on very little. Some research indicates that it can take as little as 2 weeks for your body to adapt to a new way of eating. Even Atkins suggest a 'reversal diet' for a few days when you've reached a stall (a REAL stall, 6 weeks of no loss of inches or weight.... not one of those "1-or-2-weeks-the-scales-havent-budged-stalls" . ) Reversal Diet being eating low fat/ high carb to shock things and then going back on Induction.
