I found some great information in the book to add to my knowledge base. For me it was very helpful particularly about viseral fat and MUFA's. Applying what I learned helped me flatten my tummy a bit more. I'd read about the book in Prevention mag. a coule of yrs. ago and made a mental note to check it out. I cannot say anything about the diet itself as it includes foods I cannot have due to health restrictions. I really don't believe in weight-loss diets. I believe in Overeaters Anonomous.
I found the first 4 days of the diet OK. However, the menus for the remaining diet left much to be desired. The author suggested that we find some meals that appealed and not alter them. I found breakfast meals that I would use, but I did not find any lunch or dinner meals that appealed to me. So I did not follow the remaining days of the diet because I did not want to just eat breakfast meals. I would say that, if you found meals that were appealing for breakfast, lunch and dinner, then you would find it easy to follow this diet.
This book is very easy to read and understand. It's written in an "everyday" language. The recipes are easy. The information is interesting and useful. I highly recommend this book to everyone wanting to lose their fat belly!
I have used this diet for 2 months now because it is so easy, versatile, and filling. I have personally dropped 2 dress sizes and am continuing to use this diet and plan to avoid a "Tummy tuck" The weight begins to disappear around the rib cage area where the liver and gall bladder are. This frees the organs to stop manufacturing so much bad cholesterol. I have purchased and given away 10 books thus far, including one to my doctor and one to my nutritionist. I have some of my employees who have Diabetes 2 are on the diet with me. The blood sugar is coming into proper alignment and their doctors are telling them that whatever they are doing, "Keep it up"
As with most people, we're trying to figure out how to lose the weight. Most women have a little "pouch" once they've turned 40, so their marketing strategy is what caught my attention. It is an easy read. Basically, besides being told to add the MUFAs to your diet, the plan is common sense - portion control. They give you an exact menu that they recommend you follow which (unfortunately) doesn't work for me after the first month. For the 1st couple of weeks I did EXACTLY what I was told to do and didn't lose weight or inches, but that doesn't mean you wouldn't.
