I can totally relate to your frustration. It took me about 6 trys to actually do it and stick with it. I would do okay for a few days and then just start eating junk again. I would tell myself that there is no way I could live the rest of my life not eating the foods I love (sweets) I didn't do the strict induction. I allowed myself some nuts but I stayed under 20 grams a day and so far so good. I don't crave the sweets at all anymore and I'm surrounded by them having 3 kids and a sweet freak husband. I'm not even tempted anymore and all of my family can't believe it.. I'm the girl who's eaten a candy bar a day for 15 years now. I feel so much better and I will never go back to eating the way I did. I love this WOL!!
