Dunno. I don't own a scale, and refuse to ever be weighed except at the doctor's office. I go by whether or not my clothes fit comfortably, and at the end of the two weeks, I was able to wear my skinny jeans again, so I was happy.
i really just wanted to know if the diet worked sans pistachios.
Sure. All nuts, except peanuts, are high in antioxidants. They were just trying to switch it up and keep the menu interesting, instead of serving the same food for two weeks. I appreciate that, but I'd rather be bored than spend ten dollars on a small container of pistachios.
Actually, as with a lot of diets, I had to substitute food several times, either because something was out of season, or because I hate it.
When is food out of season?
Do you starve during the winter?
