Danish & Negative Calorie Diets

• Sorry I haven't logged onto my computer in awhile.  I now weigh 158 pounds.  I am still making progress.  I am doing my best to eat a lot of salads, spinach and cups of chicken bouillon using the cubes. There is only 5 calories in a cube and it is quite filling.  I also had to give up coffee and alcohol which I did.  I am drinking decaf coffee now and eating cereal and popcorn to get the grains I need.  I am not eating as much meat as I used to.  [...] I have not yet tackled the daily exercise.  I know this will make the difference I need. 

You, Doris, are the biggest inspiration to everyone and I hope your site continues. There are so many people out there who can use your help.  I like the idea of everything being public so anyone out there can get help if they need it.  If you weren't public, how would I have found you?  [...] 
Thank for again for being there for us. Love, Elaine [March 29, 2000]

• Well i found that Danish Diet to be easy to follow, til about day 12, then i started wanting other things.  but i stuck with it. the hardest part i found was eating spinach, especially boiled.  it wasn't my favorite, and the lamb it was tough,  but there wasn't to much of it to deal with, i kinda did what my kids do, held my breath and swallowed.....lol,  and about my future weight loss plans, i am planning on picking up the book, Foods That Cause you to Lose Weight, The Negative Calorie Effect. and read that and eat more NC Foods.  i want to lose weight and get in the 130lb range.  or as close and i can where i am comfortable.  Since i started up with my Exersice tape i am going to continue with it.  I am Very Thankful to you Doris for putting up your web site, and allowing people like me to be able to get such a great start. i have a couple friends that have already gotten the address from me.  I have  mini goal at the moment, i am planning on getting my hair cut when i get my weight at 200lbs.  then i will make another goal:). thanks so much.  Patty [Feb 24, 2000]

• This is my 11th day and I feel great.  Not just because I lost about 14lbs. on this diet but because it really prepared me for the next phase of my metamorphose, which is to lose 70lbs.  I am going to use the "Fit for Life" diet by Harvey and Marilyn Diamond.  It is very similar to the negative calorie concept.  When I read this book, I thought 'this is what i need, a guide for a lifestyle change, not just another diet'.  Sometimes we think we can change habits that took all of our lives to establish in a very short period of time. I think life is a precious treasure, but if I don't value my own how can I value others. [Feb. 5, 2000]

• I am now day 5 of the Danish Diet, I have lost 10 Kgs.

There is not a lot of physical difference, but I feel better, and intend to pursue it.
Thus far I am still constantly hungry, but it helps to see the initial results. I was 136 Kg. I'm now 126 Kg. [Friday Jan 14, 2000]
• After 10 days I now weigh 125 Kgs, and yes my clothes feel more comfortable, as you know for my height I have a long way to go, I think I would be at a desirable weight if I reduced to 90 Kgs. Three more day's to go. [Thursday, Jan 20, 2000]
• Well, I have stuck to the Danish Diet for the duration 13 Days. I have lost 13 Kgs. I was 136 Kgs, now I'm 123 Kgs. I intend to loose until I'm 90 Kgs. Doris knows what she is talking about. In my opinion, to be successful, you need two parties to assist you. Doris to prescribe, & someone to prepare the food. Thank you. I'll keep in touch. [Sun Jan 23, 2000]

• Anyway, the Danish Diet was extremely difficult, but very worth the result. My ending weight was 150 LBS.  This means that I lost 15 LBS in the 13 days. It is now Thursday, Jan 20th and I am down 2 more LBS.  Thank you so much!! [Thursday, Jan 20th, 2000]

• I have to say since you have shown me the right way to eat, I feel great physically and emotionally. I stopped all the pills and powders and what not, just ate right and feel great. People are coming back to my park now and I am getting compliments all the time which I also think boosts your self esteem and confidence, which in turn helps you feel better emotionally!

As for the "diet" (Negative Calorie) I had plenty to eat. I was never hungry and I surprised myself because I actually Think I ate less than before. BUT... I wasn't hungry!!!!
If you don't put anything else on your web site... Put this... [D] you have been a godsend to me. You understood what I was going through, You helped me figure out what was keeping me from losing, and pushed me in the right direction. I will be forever be grateful and never forget you. A little discipline and a lot of  faith... moderation and motivation. If anyone wants to lose weight bad enough, this is the way to go. What did I get out of this?  I'm feeling better, I'm looking better and I got a good friend out of this.
