hi yes I followed it as best I could did have a couple of slip ups which I put on here but got myself back on track and all went well I didn't count calories as such because the LSD was so set up I didn't really need to as it was already 1000 cal already so other than the slip ups no counting for me The following morning when my surgeon came to see me I asked her how my liver was her reply was "excellent shape"! that made me very happy so all the hard work paid off I lost around 1 stone doing it not a lot by some standards but it not about the weight lose it is really about the liver been smaller so the job was done hope that helps you ,just stick to the plan and it will work
