from a girl's point of view, and established bb, my view on BFL is that it is great for beginners.....people who definetely are not ready to hear the words.....High Glycemic and Low Glycemic. The BFL is straight forward, great understanding of foods and sample workouts.....But, really doesn't prove to be long-term. I view it as a stepping stone. Try it.....BE CONSISTENT to get results and then take it from there. I have learned consistency is more important than anything. You have to give it a chance to work on your body. When you no longer get the results you want, time to change it up. Hope that helps!
