Hi Amy, this diet works, and you get results fast, if you stick to it. It isn't easy, especially the first week, but after the first week it becomes more manageable. My weight losses are below, I'm just finishing my 9th week on it. My one most important piece of advice is that you stay on plan. The first time is the golden time, it's harder to get back on plan when you've come off it. Go for it, you'll be happy with the results xx
