I had lost 60 lbs. on the Rosedale Diet. Then due to life circumstances became very depressed and developed severe insomnia. Took Remeron for depression/insomnia. Remeron created uncontrollable desire for sweets and carbs at night. Have regained 30 lbs. Am now off Remeron and am back on Rosedale Diet. However, weight isn't coming off like before. Do I need to start over with Stage 1 to reset leptin levels? Thanks!

   Hi amjfetzer,

   I have been using Dr. Ron's health plan since mid June 2012 and have stayed with what I'm assuming you call "stage 1". I have seen the recipes for muffins, etc that are very inviting but have chosen to stay with my original food intake for now. However, I may in the future delve into an occasional muffin or a protein shake.

   I can't say with certainty but you may need to restart, which seems logical. However, your body has prior knowledge which is a plus.

   I wish you the best of health in your journey.

   U R welcome Audrey - I am assuming that your body would adjust sooner then it did in the beginning.

   You can do this,

   Ken
