John McDougall and The Starch Solution

5. It took a while - a few months.

I stayed on the diet pretty close for about 6 months and lost weight. My blood pressure is well into the normal range now.

Then I had a little spell where I got really hungry for other stuff and I think I gained some weight back. But I'm back on my diet now.

I've been buying one of the Dell salad kits - about $3.50- and then eating the whole thing so I get lots of greens. They come with carrots and cabbage and sunflower seeds and some dressing. It's a lot easier for me than trying to buy all the ingredients separately and putting them together myself. I end up wasting a lot of food that way.

And drinking kefir has really helped my appetite. I just don't feel hungry when I drink a cup with each meal.
