Hi there - I started this diet after losing total control with my chocolate addiction. The first 6 months of last year I lost 25lbs on Weight Watchers. One new job and an evening masters program later I have gained it all back and more. I have 35lbs to lose and am trying the fat flush diet because I want my body to feel good on the inside. Now in my mid-40's I'm seeing people get sick with some serious illnesses. I want to try and stay as healthy as I can. If I can stay off chocolate and ice cream (my 2 addictions) I think I'll be okay.
