This is how I do things. I add a new food one week, then if my weight/measurements don't shift I try that food for another week to make sure it's the food that's causing me problems and I don't just have a pause in my weight loss. So I needed 6 weeks for the 3 brands that stalled me, 2 weeks for the other 2 I can eat, and another two weeks it was TOM, so I didn't add anything then.

Imagine that you're doing great, losing weight, feeling better than ever, thrilled with yourself, hearing compliments from friends and acquaintances---and then it happens! Despite all your good intentions, you're mightily tempted by a food you're not supposed to have. What to do? I'll tell you this: You'd better have a strategy ready!"
