I've found being without bread and pasta easier than being without cheese,
cream, steak, bacon, eggs - most of the good tasty stuff.

And the nice thing is that you don't feel hungry, which for most people
who've done diets before is fantastic.

The way to do it is to try it for 2 weeks and see how you feel.

What made it easier, though, was working away 4 days/3 nights a week. It's
a *really* easy diet if you're eating in hotels & restaurants.
