Thanks guys. I bought the book this morning and I'm about a 1/4 way through right now. What he writes really makes sense. I also like that he's very gracious to Atkins, Pritikin et al while still respectfully disagreeing with some of their philosophies.

Wow, what I specifically wanted to know from "switchers" is this: Did you switch and just keep gradually losing or was their a little hiatus where you lost nothing and even gained or did you get the whoosh that new LCers get when they begin dieting for the for first time?

I guess I'm wondering what I may be expecting reasonably over the next 2 weeks.
