I was disappointed in the book. It lacked some of what had been promised in the way of scientific documention, etc. Just another variation on the numerous spin-offs of the Atkins/South Beach approach.

The Go-Diet is a very moderate low-carb diet with practically no restriction of calories (usually the calorie intake was up to 2,500.) Dieters can have 65 grams of carbohydrate a day and no more than 12 grams of carbs at any single meal. They’re supposed to eat a lot of yogurt, kefir, or buttermilk and not to be worried about the carb content in these products. This makes a lot of sense if one considers the growing body of evidence for health benefits of probiotics.
One of important points is fiber content: no less than 25 grams of fiber every day, mostly it comes with plenty of raw vegetables: 5 servings of leafy and cruciferous veggies.
The diet is high in calcium, magnesium and all other minerals. It contains vitamins A, B, C, D, E and K and requires practically no supplements.
The research results are consistent with another low-carb diets studies like these:
“Compared with the low-carbohydrate diet, the high-carbohydrate diet caused a 27.5% increase in plasma triglycerides and a similar increase in LDL-cholesterol levels; it also reduced levels of HDL cholesterol by 11%.”(Diabetes. 41(10):1278-85, 1992)
In the article “Treatment of obesity with low-carbohydrate diets,” the authors concluded: “Concentrations of plasma triglycerides and cholesterol turned to normal during therapy. There were no side effects on the gastro-intestinal tract.” (Medizinische Klinik. 70(15):653-7,1975)
“Serum triglycerides decreased more after the high fat diet (52mg/dl) than after high protein diet (67 mg/dl).” (Journal of the American College of Nutrition. 4(4):451-9, 1985)

I read this book and have started on the GO-Diet. Already I’ve lost 15 lbs. in two weeks and have dropped my cholesterol. I find myself satisfied after meals and with a lot of energy all day. The book is easy to read and doesn’t read like a medical journal. Anyone can understand even the complicated medical ideas like hyperinsulinemia. I give the GO-Diet an A+!
