Hi Carole! I am sure you will be able to say SB worked for you! It is such a healthy plan! Just stick to lots of fresh veggies, and lean meats and limit your starchy carb servings, and you will be surprised how good you feel! Have you read the book? I got the new edition out of the library, and I am reading it now. I also read Montignac's book, Eat Yourself Slim. He is called the father of SB...his book is really good. It has a lot of details that the SB book does not.
