kkarryall 0 Posted June 27, 2008 Did you start your 6 month diet in March 2008? Try doing a low carb diet. Eat mostly Protein (like meats, chicken, turkey, steak, etc.), veggies (like salads with dressing) and cheese is allowed too. I find that doing low carb often takes away the cravings for carbs (like bread, sweets, etc.) The first three days is hell--like withdrawal , but after that if you stick to it, its smooth sailing. Good luck:thumbup: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
