I am following his book and I use it having done a bit of research - use the full fat one and not the half fat version ..

yes, he says it's fine and suggests using it in smoothies.
How's the Briffa plan going?

I am on day 1. I think i'll be able to stick to it without too much problem but i'm not convinced I'll lose any weight.

yes!

I've been reading his blog and am a bit disappointed at some of his views on other stuff which sadly has made me skeptical of his low carb advice

That sounds intruiging feckbox. What sort of things do you mean?

yes me too intruiged as I find him very well researched and non extreme in his views .. have read a lot of his stuff and yet to find anything to make my science nerd hackles rise!

I have started following Briffa's plan to try to lose weight but I can't believe I will. I am trying not to over eat but I do get very hungry so I have been sncking on nuts. I know some low carbers don't eat nuts so that's worrying me. I know the research makes sense but I'm not convinced I'll end up lighter than I am now.
