[QUOTE="JenniferW, post: 962233, member: 191472"] I felt the person presenting our course was far from dogmatic about any one diet being 'right' or 'proper', but much more concerned with leading us into teaching ourselves the basics, and us finding out what changes we needed to make, and supporting us - and getting us to support each other. I started to see how for some people, they were so far off understanding some of the basic things, 'prescribing' any particular diet would be pretty much doomed to failure. I think you have to have some understanding of what you're tackling to be able to get yourself through all the tough patches, for example. She's really stressed how much it's not going to be a one-diet-fits-all, which is also what I've realised from lots of browsing here on the forum. So I'd not say the course is super-fantastic (and would that it were), but I was close to scorning it completely and am glad I did actually turn up and go. One effect for me has been to get me to focus week in, week out, on particular goals and changes, for example. [/QUOTE]
