Count me in on that one, too. For years I knew I was overweight and without any serious understanding of what and how to eat, I really had no idea what I was doing. The newspapers and MH published conflicting advice about fat and carbs and what was healthy and what wasn’t. All that info was confusing and rather overwhelming. Granola bars and low-fat cookies and ice cream are good, right? Nuts, Avocado and olive oil were fatty and bad, right? Okay, I've learned a lot since then! But trying to eat well according to "conventional wisdom" or "they say that..." really doesn't work.
I really needed the structure and meal plan of TAP to get things going and really eat with a solid nutritional plan. Once I developed the right habits, the hows and whys developed and I could keep going.
