Diet Update - Six Weeks In, the Rest of my Life to Go

So, if you've been a loyal follower for all ten or so of my blog posts since closing InvertedMind.com and opening Caffeine & Hot Sauce!, you are aware that I have been dieting.  First of all, the method: I have been following the Eat this, Not That! No-Diet Diet, which is less of a diet and more of a method.  It explains why we gain weight based on certain eating habits, such as why even a small shot of sugar on an empty stomach can have big consequences (the long and short of it is that when you get a sudden increase in blood sugar, your body releases a load of insulin into your blood to account for it; the downside is that an insulin imbalance like that will put your body into fat-storage mode, fighting with the insulin for the sugar and storing that sugar in fat cells).
