ok this book is like really boring! but if you are willing to go on a diet the hard way this book is for you! it’s not exactly what i thought it will be because i usually look for books on dieting that are simple and affective! i’m 11 and my weight is like 95 pounds! i don’t wanna be a fat so! i was looking for a boook to help get rid of my fat easily and quickly but i guess this book is not right for me! try a book called Eat more, weigh less : Dr. Dean Ornish’s life choice program for losing weight safely while eating abundantly if ya wanna loose weight by eating only!

This book is packed with information — there is no question about that! It is full of accepted, conventional wisdom. And that is why I did not like the book. When I read it I said to myself “here we go again”. The introduction says “You can trust us, we are from the American Dietetic Association”. But I think it is the same old junk that the FDA and the USDA and all our so-called experts have been giving us for the last 25 years while we get fatter and fatter and lose more and more of our grandparents and parents to heart disease and diabetes. Diabetes has become a problem now even for children as young as 10 years old. Why? I cannot understand why it is taking so long for the word to get out. There is a revolution going on right under our noses. In my opinion, while people like Dr. Atkins and others were on the right track, only Doctors Michael and Mary Dan Eades have put it all together and come up with a health program that really works. I’ve lost 55 pounds,lowered my cholesterol by 17%, my triglycerides by 66%, and my LDL by 15%. Moreover, I’ve rasied my HDL (the “good” cholesterol)by 13%. My blood pressure is now around 120/70. My ratio of Total Cholesterol to HDL is down from 5.0 to 3.7. (5.0 and over is associated with heart disease). I’ve read all of this stuff before! I’ve been to Weight Watchers, Nutri Systems and Jenny Craig. I’ve tried all kinds of diets. Trying to follow the food pyramid just doesn’t work. Let’s face it, we just don’t have time to prepare and eat so-called “well balanced meals” (with too many carbs anyway)day in and day out. In my opinion, this book is a waste of your money and time and effort. If you want to know what really works and why buy “The Protein Power Lifeplan” by Doctors Michael and Mary Dan Eades (on this site) instead of this book. Better yet, buy them both! Try this one (or the other) for a year and then try the other for a year and then email and let me know how you did.

Give it as a gift. Tell that special someone that they are not only fat but stupid as well.

Nowadays, there are a lot of diets that claim to be the be-all and the end-all. This book demystifies many popular diets and explains in simple terms what your body needs for you to be healthy.
When I was told I had to lose 30 pounds, I thought of going to a doctor to avoid damaging my health by cutting necessary nutrients out of my intake. Then my own doctor told me the only way to lose weight is to eat less. That and exercise seem to be the key to fitness and weight loss. Anybody with a serious weight problem should see a specialist. And it has often been said that before you begin a diet and /or exercise plan you should see a doctor.

I purchased this book for a friend who is going to have gastric bypass surgery. She has read the book and said it was very helpful to her.
