Perfectly...I lost 6 pounds when I started on this diet (I then piled more on by eating too many brownies and things but that's another matter!).
Well done on cutting chocolate and coffee. They're two of the hardest things to cut. At least a little dark chocolate after SF is still ok for me!
With the heartburn, there is alot you can do with diet. Some of it (no coffee, no caffeine, little alcohol, no carbonated drinks, eating and drinking little and often) is part of this diet anyway, but cutting out (for a while at least) all acidic foods will help. These include tomatoes, citrus fruits, some other soft fruit, etc. Plus spicy foods are bad for heartburn. Try Zantac to prevent attacks. If it gets really bad, your GI doc can prescribe some wonderful meds!
Good luck. And well done for getting this far!
