well said P. for me its the looking forward to munchin on some bread each saturday that keeps my hopes up. without that cheat meal the diet would be so hard to maintain. ive found that some poeple respond better to loading carbs for 3 meals and some only need 1, where someone else may need a whole day of good carbs to get the mosrt out of the diet. the trick is finding where you fit in and how ur body reacts.
