[quote=Anonymous]I exercise a lot and eat healthy but couldn't get the extra weight off.  I gave up all grains just to see what would happen, and I lost 20 pounds in 3 months.  I didn't change anything else.

This was shocking to me!  A few years ago I trained to hike down/up the Grand Canyon with a 6 and 8 year old kids in tow, and was terrified that I would be "the weak link" so was for 4 months became an exercise addict trying to get the extra weight off--I think I only lost 4 pounds.

So to me, giving up grains is no gimmick.

Also, I'm not hard-core--I'll eat it here and there--it's just not part of my *usual* diet.  Instead of oatmeal in the morning, I have a hard boiled egg or two, and/or some ham slices, along with an apple or banana.  (remember eggs aren't dairy).  I know OP is dairy free but just for fyi I eat yogurt and cottage cheese...and tons of the baby carrots.

The interesting side-effect is that before, I couldn't shut off my hunger, and now, I'm rarely hungry and it's much easier to do portion control.

I hope this helps![/quote]
