Not yet, for me, but I'm hopeful.
I was down to my lowest point early last week. But as of yesterday, I'm back up again.

I followed this link, and it was quite eye-opening. I'm planning to do a detoxifying regimen this spring. I have had some sinus congestion all winter long, plus I think it will be just the thing to help me lose those last two pounds I need to shed. Here are the primary sources of toxicity, according to Dr. Hyman:
• Exposure to heavy metals like mercury and lead, petrochemicals, residues, pesticides, and fertilizers.
• Food allergies, environmental allergies, molds, and toxins from molds.
• Eating a standard American diet.
• Mental, emotional, and spiritual toxins -- isolation, loneliness, anger, jealousy, and hostility, all of which translate into toxins in our system.
• Medications can sometimes be toxins. Often we need medications, but the reality is that most of us are overmedicated and use medications to treat problems for which there are better solutions, such as lifestyle and diet.
• Internal toxins -- things like bacteria, fungus, and yeast inside our gut as well as hormonal and metabolic toxins that we need to eliminate.

One of the most valuable tips in this detoxifying article is to Avoid the White Menace! When you're trying to lose weight and improve health, avoid or cut down on white flour, white sugar, whole milk, white bread, white rice, potatoes, most boxed cereals, and salt! As well as items made with these ingredients. If it's white, don't bite! It works for me!!

So right, Lee. I swear, I miss my morning bagel. But, I had forsaken the white menace!
This very evening, Lynne and I shared a dinner of lovely crudités--celery, baby carrots, radishes--with little mozzarella balls, followed by sautéed jumbo shrimp that were marinated with olive oil, red pepper flakes, ginger, garlic and tangerine juice, and roasted broccoli. All served with a cheeky Australian chardonnay. No bread, rice, potatoes or pasta in sight!
Front-Ranger:
Good fer you!! Oh, yes, I forgot about pasta.
Last night I made steak marinated in teriyaki sauce on a bed of green cabbage, sliced turnip, shallot, apples, and multicolored sweet peppers. I didn't cook anything but the steak! Then, I toasted a mixture of flax seeds and black and white sesame seeds and sprinkled them over the top. I drizzled all with olive oil and more teriyaki sauce. It was a big hit!!
