My wife heard about the book on Oprah and The View. She started the eating plan and lost 5 pounds the first week and about 2 pounds each following week. After three weeks (and a noticable difference in her size) I jumped on the bandwagon. I was 207 pounds at 5'8".
That was 5 months ago and I've been at 165 pounds for the last month. My wife only lost 25 pounds because her approach is a bit more permissive. She'll have that occasional peice of pizza, beer and candy.

Cookies and icecream have been replaced with fruit or walnuts. (Sugar free ice pops aren't bad either.)
I do think the book is mis-named - I don't consider what we are doing a "diet" - rather a new life eating plan.
You may think that you'll be giving up alot, but it really comes down to this:
What do you want more, sweets or a healthier/better body?
