I lost 30 lbs (I was at 165) when I was first dx with IBS (I was afraid to eat). I started on Heather's diet in Feb 2007, and my weight has been stable since. I actually lost 3 more pounds recently, but that seems to come and go. Prior to all this, I couldn't seem to get below 150 when I made the effort. (I'm 5'5") Now I am at 132lbs. I exercise (cardio and wt lifting) at least 4 times a week. I am strict about the diet - no red meat, dark poultry, egg yolks, dairy, soda, caffeine, and very little fat. When it comes to losing weight, I think a calorie is a calorie, whether it comes from carbs, sugars, or fat. Obviously, some calories are more nutrient packed than others. If you burn more calories than you eat, you will lose weight. I feel that even though I eat more bread and other carbs, I have cut out so many calories from all those things I don't eat anymore, that the weight has stayed off. The only thing I find hard to do is to get enough nutrients in my diet, because I am still trying to figure out which veggies set me off. Hopefully, with time and experimentation, I will figure it out.
Anyway, there's my two cents. Good luck, and I hope you feel better soon.
