Just one thing I am not so sure of. Is it better to leave out milk completely on the fast days? I don't know what half and half is, I live in South Africa. Is that a long life milk? I use Fat Free milk (just a little) and Stevia sweetener for my tea. I am on my first fast day and things actually easier then I thought. Just one thing I am not so sure of.

To my coffee council, I made the switch to espresso, and must thank you.

Not to sound like an alcoholic, but espresso reminds me a lot of scotch.

its strong, but once you can start picking out the complexity of the flavors, it really is remarkable.

The eating is not much different than I am used to, and eliminating these extras along with increasing activity has caused me to drop 15lb so far. I am TIRED however of the measuring, and such, and CONSTANTLY thinking about food and what they deem I should eat and when...I can't see myself keeping up with this long term. Your method is like a breath of fresh air! Eating well 90% of the time, with more fruits/veggies and whole "real" foods, yet not worrying about my upcoming hospital Xmas party as an example. I even had a Tim Horton's the other day and didn't feel too guilty about it, and savored every minute and then was satisfied and was so clued in that I didn't need more, just that small cup was enough. I am in my 2nd 24h fast, and I have found like others, already I am so much MORE cued in to what hunger feels like and to the other things that gave me cues to eat (not necessarily true hunger), not so when I was eating several times a day. And I feel very alert and a sense of well being while fasting...it is not as bad as I thought. It will take some time to trust the process and not focus on calories so much and instead focus on the "overall" composition of my diet.<br/><br/>I am planning on participating in the upcoming 4th Turbulence Training contest, and plan to use your ideas Brad. Thank you SO much for your E book and your work spreading the word to all us "anal" dieters!

I think it was time in Italy that did it. If you ask for a cappuccino or cafe latte (especially in the morning), the whole of Italy gives you a collective dirty look.<br/><br/>Now I only drink espresso. And, I'm really fussy about the beans.. and the grind.. and the beans have to be ground directly before making the espresso, with filtered water, at the right temperature.<br/><br/>It's just a matter of - if you are going to do something, do it right.

Now I only drink espresso. And, I’m really fussy about the beans.. and the grind.. and the beans have to be ground directly before making the espresso, with filtered water, at the right temperature.

It’s just a matter of – if you are going to do something, do it right.

I could not agree with you more about the chewing gum.

All I want, is a nice stick of Big Red gum.

You simply CANNOT do cinnamon flavored chewing gum any justice with artificial sweeteners.

It's a special type of machine with higher quality beans and it's the only coffee in my life that I've been able to drink straight black...no bitterness whatsoever, it's unbelievable (let it sit for 5 minutes after brewing so you can taste it without being scalding hot) Brad, go try the new Clover coffee at Starbucks (I hate promoting a massive chain, but they bought the Clover company).
