I would have been disappointed because I would have expected something spritual based on the title. Actually, I ate very well in Israel last year because I was determined to try new foods. The point you make about losing 1 lb a week I think is a reasonable goal but I've learned that life gets in the way sometimes. Or I should say my emotions get in the way. If I only ate when I feel physical hunger and then ate healthy foods, I would be at my goal by now. I've been on this journey for over two years and I'm half way to goal. It's o.k. if it takes 5 years instead of 5 months. Over the course of this journey, I've discovered I love veggies and now I look forward to them and eat them first. One of the first things I ask at a restaurant is do you have steamed veggies. Most do but why search a 7 page menu for them. You can do this. Sorry, I've been too busy with work, the foundation & church to do a lot of blog reading but I decided to take today to catch up. I appreciate the book review.

At least with the slow approach I expect slow weight loss. I would have quit every diet I have ever been on when I stopped losing weight - but I'm still here this time despite having not lost a pound in a month. @Craig – but that is the point – I’ve tried the fast weight loss route and I find that I never lose weight as fast as I want – so I get unmotivated and quit.

The weekly weigh-ins sometime hurt but that can be a good thing. Yeah, I know what you mean but do you? LOL The hare loses not because of going too fast but because he becomes unmotivated and quits. Be the hare but just don't quit, again. www.Iwon'tquitagain.com You can do it! I’m concerned this new approach would just help me (okay really I mean you) make excuses that you don’t need.

I see this approach as the tortoise verses the hare, only in real life everyone is trying to be the hare and almost every hare running the race fails to move much past the starting line. I've never made any progress as the hare - I'm going to try the tortoise... know what I mean? @Craig – I agree that some of us extremely overweight folks could lose the weight faster – but I’ve been overweight for years and its not like I haven’t tried the fast weight loss route a time or two.
