Not sure if anyone still reads this thread but I came across the link in the fittobemen.com forums.

I am 6' 3" and weigh in at 265lbs. I've been lifting weights for the last 4 years however I never seemed to lose weight. The embarassing thing about all my weight is that it's mostly focused on my upper body. I've tried various things over the years to cut my weight down (slim fast, meal replacements, etc.) but nothing seemed to work.

Anyways, I started this diet a few days ago. I'm really enjoying it and after I eat or during the day I don't feel as hungry as I used to. I had a couple of questions about whether or not some products were okay but most were answered in previous posts (peanut butter). Maybe someone can comment on these products:

1. Is cottage cheese counted as cheese in this diet and is it okay to eat?
2. The only type of salad dressings I could find are oil based ones that have about 1-2 carbs per serving. Is that acceptable under this diet?

Thanks for any help and I look forward to losing weight and seeing results!
