Alina, my husband isn't really following the diet. But he is trying to be supportive. I stopped making potatoes with dinner, and he's cut down his bread intake. A couple days this week he took a chef's salad for lunch instead of a sandwich. He also used to drink 2 juice boxes at lunch plus a piece of fresh fruit. Now he only has 1 juice and a club soda. Since Saturday, he's lost 5 pounds -- with no major changes. He still has a bit of bread with dinner. But he's also not eating the night snacks (chips, etc) because I don't buy them anymore.
