Getting further in to the diet. It's really quite easy if you read labels. It doesn't need to be exact in term of the carbohydrate:protein ratio. Fat intake isn't really a big deal. Don't shy away from it, fat is what's responsible for a lot of the satiety effects of food, as well as protein.
Carbohydrates tend to increase appetite, and is one of the reasons this diet works so well. It stabilizes your blood sugar for hours at a time and tends to decrease cravings for junkfood I find.
