Dr. Gott says to lose weight, we just need to cut out sugar and flour, which I haven't managed to do yet.

Yea that is what this diet does, it gives you the minimum protein your body needs, no fats, no carbs, Day one was today went alright, I get to eat all the lettuce I want and two cups of veggies, is a lot!

Yes, I lost 48 pounds on it in 4 months and my friend lost 40 in 3 months. Make sure to take vitamins and drink lots of water.

Thanks cook25526, is it as simple as it seems? As far as how well it is organized and easy to follow directions. I need to lose sixty and hopefully it will got smoothly :)

It's easy to follow. After the first 3 days, you will stop craving carbs. I need to go back on it. I quit before I reached goal. Went on vacation and haven't got back on the program.

You eat no fat? You do know your body needs 21g of fat a day for it to function properly? That is the minimum.

Here is a link to a gentleman out in Finland who has come up with some incredibly yummy recipes using the Ideal Protein food, I have to say today for lunch I had the butterscotch pudding, YUM, plate full of lettuce, chopped cucumbers, califlower, mushrooms, with a dressing of one tbs olive oil, splash of apple cider and fresh herbs

I am sorry, no you do get fat, the food packets they have provide some of the fat and then you are to use 2 tablespoons of olive oil a day, I use it in my salad dressings, cause I love it. Also they give you supplements to take, one of mine is the Omega three fish oil. My doctor reviewed the diet and thought it was a great idea for someone who is obese as me with incredibly high cholestrol. However, she is going to monitor me along the way, I trust my doctor completely she has been with me a very very long time.
