and so far I've had no treatment effects and I feel good. I'm ready to improve my lifestyle and lose some weight, going to follow an aerobics routine so I'll have my exercise down.

 Hi Natalie,

Welcome to the board! As long as you are sticking with your fat goals you should not experience any treatment effects.

I wish you lots of success,

Thanks Betty,

Yes, will be sticking to those goals! Was curious though, is it okay to go under your fat goals. I did go nuts in buying a lot of fat free food products.

Hi Natalie,

There is a chance that going too low in fat will end up causing problems. Your body does need fat and this plan works best with your recommended amount of fat. It should really be called a fat controlled diet, not a low fat diet. I have a post on the beginning of the personal experiences board about why you need to reach your fat grams. That post will give the details about how this work.

Take a look at that and let me know if you have any questions,
