I just recently hit -60 lbs. .... it took 8 months to lose the first 50, and another 6 months to lose another 10.

I love ADF ... I agree about the discipline - I appreciate how that strict 600 cal limit forces me to create meal plans that are substantial enough to satisfy my appetite, and yet light enough in calories to stay under the limits ... Esselstyn's and Ornish's books have helped me create meal plans that are vegetarian based, and contains the tasty spices and seasonings that help liven basic veggies ....

By combining ADF and Esselstyn/Ornish, I have had great success and considerable happiness with my eating habits ....
