From my own experience with alcoholism I have found that I had no desire to drink and not only did I loose weight but I have eliminated alcohol from my life and working the AA program to the fullest. I never expected this when I went on the diet but WOW, better than the great weight loss I had, I re educated my body and mind mentally, physicall and now spirtually. We need to make this aware to more. I suggest using the diet as a new life change, make the step to eliminate alcohol start hitting meetings and look to your higher power. It is working for me and I have been a drinker for 35 years. Thanks from Jennifer, ***@****
