I've been on the NSD for over a year now strict. Still learning and discovering. It took a good 4 months to see some good results for me. I had to cut out ALL dairy.Careful with some apples as they are picked unripened and stored in refrigeration for winter months and seem to test starchy. To keep weight on I eat about a lot of nut/raisins about 1200cal just in raisins per day. Be careful if you cook your veggies- could release starch.
