Would love to hear from people who have tried it.

I bought it and quickly read through it a few months ago and at the tiem though it seems like way too much work. Also, as I recall it either contradicted some of the low-carb (which my LLMD says I must follow, yet he recommended the book) or the dairy bit, can't remember. i.e. I'm "supposed" to eat plain yogurt daily according to LLMD. It was one of those hwich put me off.

I will have to re-read it and refresh my memory now. Book is still sitting in my kitchen table collecting dust.

Glad to hear it's working for some.

Edited to add: I just had a look at the website posted above, and it says that no margarine or fats allowed except flax seed oil.

I thought that flax seed when on antibiotics, for some reason, was bad. Also with Mepron/Malarone I am supposed to eat a fatty meal with it. So, I guess this is really not compatible especially not with Babs treatment?

It does look like an appealing alternative for me right now after years of on/off strict induction Atkins, which seems to not work for me anymore. That could be partly because I now have hormonal problems (Polycystic Ovaries - too much testosterone, etc, which makes me store fat like there's not tomorrow).

The Fat Flush book says that medications are a problem when it comes to weight loss. But, I guess if some of you are still losing while on abx, then that can't be such a problem.

To try to stave off yeast, I have been having about 8oz plain yogurt (plus probiotics) every day and I think this is also helping me to keep WEIGHT ON. But, I don't want a yeast problem either - feel caught in a catch 22 there.

What about Flaxseed. The diet seems to heavily promote the use of flaxseeds/oil.

Doesn't Dr. B's guidelines say Flaxoil is bad with antibiotics? (I can't recall why though).

Can one substitute the flaxseeds/oil on the diet for something else?

I might have asked something obvious here, so forgive me, because I'm only at the beginning of the book. Although I skimmed through it before a while ago, nothing stuck in my brain - so it's like brand new again.

Also, can't get sugarfree cranberry juice in UK and have never seen fresh berries, so will have to seriously investigate that one to make it work. I imagine cranberry juice, plain, doesn't have a lot of carbs or sugar.

I'm glad to hear it's working for some.

Lisa, do you have any grains at all and still lose weight?

I found "No added sugar" cranberry juice, however it has aspartame. So, it's a compromise.

There is nowhere that sells fresh or frozen cranberries here. (its' not in season they tell me).

Dr. B said I should be on a very low-carb diet (I knew that already), but also that fruits are strictly forbitten UNLESS eating with a meal.......So, this leaves me with the following question:

Is the minute amount of carbs/sugar in unsweetened, diluted cranberry juice going to promote yeast?

Gittleman says 2 fruits a day, I see they are between meals. This, I guess is not good for anti-yeast as too sugary.

Have you been on antibiotics while doing this program and not had a yeast problem?
