I just had a suggestion come to mind while reading some of the progress posts. It looks like it is not an "average" thing for people to feel the AS results right away. I was wondering why I did feel them right away and this is my theory. I lost a good 50 lbs and have maintained it for nearly three years now, having learned "Intuitive Eating". Its basically getting in touch with when your body is feeling true hunger vs emotional or other none-hunger related desires to eat  and also re-learning to feel fullness after years of ignoring it through over stuffing.
My theory is that one could feel the effects of AS right away if they were already in tune with the physical messages their bodies were sending them.
With Intuitive eating I learned very quickly what it felt like to have true hunger and fullness and the SLD has only enhanced that X10.
Good books on Intuitive eating are "Diets don't work" and "The overfed head".
Anyway I just thought it might be helpful to those who were trying to feel the AS.

No offence peekaboocat7, but I've had the opposite experience. SLD is what is giving me the opportunity to feel true hunger and fullness, and it's because of the appetite supression. For once in my life the compulsion to eat is gone- that is the emotional compulsion I'm talking about. I seem to be left with physical hunger, which comes along a lot less often than one would think and is satisfied a lot easier than one would think, too. I also find that SLD promotes further mindfulness because of the two hour window.
And I had tried to follow "Diets don't work" and "Overcoming compulsive eating", which try to teach eating when hungry and stopping when full. It's such an easy concept, but when food is everything except pure nutrition....

Not quite sure what we don't agree on there Greenwood. Maybe we both missed something? Lol, oh well. I just thought SLD and IE go well together.
Thats been my experiance anyway. I feel the AS so strongly with the oil that it seems it isent possible to not listen to my body. I feel it tell me it is hungry and so I feed it but I can't over feed it because it tells me loud and clear when its had enough too , both due to IE and the oil.
Just a thought.
