I lost 12 pounds starting the diet and it also was due to eliminating the fattening foods I had been eating. Remember that one gram of fat has 9 calories whereas one gram of carbs has 4 (or is it 5?). So fatty foods are higher in cals than carbs. Also when someone used to the diet tries to lose weight they can concentrate on getting their SF from fruits and veggies instead of bread, pasta and rice. Read this page of Heather's info.
-------------------- IBS-A for 20 years with terrible bloating and gas. On the diet since April 2004. Remember this from Heather's information pages:
"You absolutely must eat insoluble fiber foods, and as much as safely possible, but within the IBS dietary guidelines. Treat insoluble fiber foods with suitable caution, and you'll be able to enjoy a wide variety of them, in very healthy quantities, without problem." Please eat IF foods!
