What appears to be working for me well are two of the 3 suggestions from those videos.

1) 30 grams of protein for breakfast, no white stuff, and only slow carbs during the day... veggies, beans etc.

2) the cold packs. I noticed an improvement after 2 days of putting the cold packs on my upper back and upper chest and neck.
I was actually warmer during the day, and even too warm at night with my usual PJs... so my metabolism is perking up.

This weekend will be my "binge" of pizza. He states in the book that if you diet every day, your thyroid stops converting to T3 and your metabolism goes down. The controlled binge stimulates T4 conversion to T3 in tissues and the binge for that one day does not damage your results from the diet itself.

I expect 10 lbs at least for me first lost is mostly water weight.
I have read that one molecule of sugar/carb holds 2 molecules of water. So when the sugar goes down, the water leaves.
So my goal is really 20 lbs of overweight fat. Then I will lose some over summer like I do, and continue into fall, and see what happens, then.
