Hey Jimmy, apologies for the slow reply - I've been away on vacation.

The way we think SLD works for some is to do with flavourless calories - if you have no calories then the association doesn't happen and the net effect on your body is likely to be zero. That said, sweeteners work in interesting ways and you would have to search the forum to see if anyone has had success that way.

The Stevia link seems to help with sugar craving, a particular aspect of appetite.

In my own case I use ELOO as I get the classic spike with sugar water - the initial surge with the sugar and then the plummet. I don't have the patience to wait, and actually don't like that amount of sugar - I keep wanting to brush my teeth which introduces more flavour.

What you are looking to do with SLD, or High Protein, drinking lots of water etc is to get your appetite under control, but as you will read elsewhere you will see other techniques added in to help.

Back from vacation, 236.6 pounds today which isn't bad - a gain of 0.8 pounds since I last checked in.

I chilled out, eat more than usual, eat differently, but also had high protein days. I also got some kefir grains and started experimenting with that - my wife thinks I'm daft.

So interesting days were - found a steak offer locally and had that for lunch but only eat one or two of the fries. Found a crazy place that did a 5 egg omlette - couldn't believe the size of it but somehow lost a pound in weight that day.

Now to see how I get on!

Settling back in to work (taking ages :)) and beginning to shrink again, 233.6 pounds today so there might be a rebound!

Changed a few things last week, gave up on my Kefir experiment because it was very messy and a lot of hard work. I've put my grains in the freezer and will see what I will do.

And on Sunday I bought a new business suit to fit the new me - still getting used to what I see in the mirror. I'm not in a job that needs me to dress formally every work day so my "old" suit was far far too big as I bought it just before the diet!

Great progress still!!  Your BMI is getting very close to "normal" - won't that be a milestone!!
