Phase 2 must work because I am losing weight. I wasn't sure if it would work on me because I am not a mammoth starch eater, but now I see it is working well. Apart from taking Phase 2 I changed nothing, so I know that the few pounsds that have slipped off must be down to Phase 2.

It is mythical that you need to really eat a lot of starch in order for Phase 2 to work. If you eat any starch at all you will receive some benefit.

But people should still realise and not forget that small starch means small benefit.

Phase 2 does work, at least it has worked for me, but it's a dangerous idea to think of it as simply as that. In truth diet and exercise are key to any weight loss. If you go into something thinking that all you need to do is take a magic pill, you are going to be sadly mistaken. You need to eat healthy and not be stuck on the couch all the time, and everybody should be doing these things in order to be the right weight. And then stick to it too, because that's why weight loss is a roller coaster. People lose the weight and then think that everything is fine and dandy and they fall back into poor habits.

Everything you say is true. On the other hand Phase 2 is a handy thing to have and really helps.
