I never did. I have been on it a number of times. I decided to try it
again as I recently had my gall bladder removed and thought it might
make a difference.
You just have to put up with it and be patient. Those side

For the time being...
4 or 5 days on of the "fat fast" and 2 to 3 days of induction.
When I lose enough, I'll switch back to South Beach.

Not everyone gets tummy rumble from it, and about 5% never "get used to

tummy rumbles don't change.

ObFood: baby insisted on trying pepperocini last night despite my gentle
warnings. He chewed for 20 seconds, politely leaned over his plate and
let it drop. "hot hot" he said, and laughed. I'm really hoping for an
adventurous eater....
