Alli, Dr Gott has a book, NO FLOUR NO SUGAR DIET. I cut out ALL flour. It was really hard at first but I have gotten it out of my system... or so I thought. I did cheat a couple of times since poop head got home, then again on Thanksgiving and since then I have craved a cupcake. I am NOT going to give into it. I bought slim fast but it was so thick it was disgusting to drink to me (got the low carb option chocolate one). So I froze one of my daughter's strawberry ones (regular slim fast) and see if eating it like that will take away the cravings. If you want to email me I can tell you some of the shortcuts I do in my diet to stay away from flour. It is just poison to me. Also, sit an exercise bike in front of the tv and you can only watch while you are peddling it. I joined Curves but had to stop while I heal from surgery. I am telling you, that 1/2hr a day 3X a week and the fat just melted off. I had abdominal surgery last day of July so was pretty much immobilized for all of August and part of Sept. just short distances of walking. Should do more, think I will to jump start the weight loss again. Thanks for the words of encouragement. Just give up the flour and if you need sweets do the sugar free stuff. Rite Aid has all their sugar free candy for 99 cents right now, buy a couple bags and toss them in the freezer when you just HAVE to have a sweet. I limit myself to 2 pieces and NEVER NEVER NEVER chew it , just suck on it till it melts (if it has nuts you wait till all is melted then chew otherwise you will gobble it all down too fast). If you let it melt your mind doesn't know if you had one or 15 and if you are like me you wolf it down before you really taste it right? This way you get the taste all in your mouth like when you wolf down those 8 pieces before you know it, yet you only have the calories of one. Try it and see if that doesn't make a difference. Also, I make myself drink a tall cold glass of water after I have them, the taste lingered in your mouth now to fool your tummy the water......... let me know if it works for you... and NO the diet isn't Atkins, I just see that it is poison to eat flour for me and I chose not to.
