“I was in the bulk food store yesterday. Saw the dark chocolate covered almonds, went to buy some and then thought "do I really want them?". The voice in my head said "Nah, not really...". I didn't buy them. Felt good. The voice in my head has never, ever said that before. ” — Seena
“After two weeks on the SL diet, I have managed to drop 5 lbs going from 230 to 225 with my goal being 200 lbs. Surprisingly, my girlfriend has also managed to lose 4 lbs even though she isn't on the diet! I think she has benefited from the fact that I have reduced the portion sizes of the meals that we cook. Also, when we go out to eat, we've cut back on ordering appetizers. . . . If this keeps up, I'd like to think of it as a "collateral effect" of the SL diet! ” — J Loo

This is absolutely weird but wonderful! ” — tammy
“I felt like I had hit the jackpot the first day I was on it.” — tekayla
