anyone else on the "diet by disease" diet? [View all]

I've lost 11 pounds. good bad or indifferent, I am down to where I was when I was 26 but I'm 55...

I went into, what I like to call "siege" mode when everything hit the fan. Eat less, exercise (at home) more and prepared for the worst. I went into this mode when I was very very poor production assistant in L.A. many many years ago. got me through really hard times.

I suspect I'll lose about another 5 before I finally level off.

good times.
