"Dear Dr Amanda, I was very happy to receive your reply to my email. Thank you very much. I purchased your book 'The Don't Go Hungry Diet' and I started putting it into practise on 11th April when I was part way through the book. This will only be the method for me, I just have to dispose of my vast library of other diet books. I weighed and measured yesterday and less than 3 weeks I have lost 2 kilos and 1" around my waist. My weight is now 89.9 kilo. My height is 7'7". Sorry about the measure but I just can't get used to centimeters. I have a pedometer and I manage 8000 to 9000 steps a day. It is still hot here during the day so walking is confined to either early morning or late afternoon. I have made myself a success diary in a notebook and I can honestly say I never feel real hunger. I am not a big breakfast eater, I either have cereal or toast. I don't feel like any more to eat until after 2pm in the afternoon. Then I eat my evening meal about 7pm, which is a light meal. I have relished in the fact that I can eat a large variety of foods and seasonings. It is quite exciting really when I have dieted all my life. I don't look at myself with revulsion anymore because I know there is a way to control it and it is so simple. I just need patience. I have had famine reactions of fatigue, dizziness, lack of concentration, nausea, headache which disappear when I eat something like a small cinnaman doughnut, a peanut butter sandwich or a muffin from your recipe. I have stopped having the severe reactions now. I have baked several batches of those muffins and they are very popular. Yours sincerely"
