Best of luck Jeeper, and I'm glad you are having success, I also predict that if you stick with it - you will continue to have success. In 2003 I literally lost 130lbs of fat following this way of eating, but by kidding myself about needing carbs to get stronger, abandoned it for a few years while I tried to climb my way up the NA Strongman HW Amateur ranks. I've been following it again for the past two years, but because I am not as active, the weightloss hasn't been as dramatic... about a 60lbs loss in these two years (with a 4-month hiatus due to finances which took me 30lbs in the wrong direction). However, making the serious decision to not compete in Strongman anymore ensures that I will stick with this diet, unless finances get me down to the "ramen and peanut butter" diet that many of us might have had to endure in our youth.

And I'm sorry for going off on a tangent there. If you follow this thread from the beginning you'll see that I've been quite defensive of the lifestyle that specifically "saved my life", admittedly perhaps too much so...
