WOW. Great info. I'm starting loading tomorrow. A little nervous but excited too. I've been veggie for 3 years now. When I heard that vegetarians don't do well on this diet I was a little turned off by it. Though reading all these successes with the food substitutions has been a big motivator. Thanks so much. Can't wait to lose it with you. :)
