Product Description
From Publishers Weekly
As more Americans become obese and are diagnosed with diabetes in record numbers, they continue to seek out new sources of healthy living advice and dieting tips. Those frustrated with South Beach, Atkins and the Zone may find a friend in the Rosedale Diet. Its founder, a nutrition and metabolism expert with a practice in Denver, has developed a diet plan that teaches people how to control leptin, the key hormone that regulates appetite and, say Rosedale and coauthor Colman, your ability to lose weight. They present their plan in two parts, first explaining the concept, and then providing advice for putting it into action. The Rosedale Diet encourages consumption of high-fat foods (good fats, of course—and they're to be eaten unaccompanied by sugar-forming foods), and doesn't insist that people count calories. Rosedale recommends supplements, too, asking readers to take 2,000 milligrams of glutamine before going to bed at night, and suggesting pregnenolone and phosphatidylserine for some. Even if readers aren't ready to plunge full-force into the Rosedale Diet, they'll benefit from such recipes as Dilled Salmon with Fresh Asparagus; Lobster Tails and Seaweed Salad; and Grilled Beef Fillet with Bell Pepper and Mashed Rutabagas.

The best diet book I've ever read,
By Retired lady "Cravin Sweets No More" (Bellingham, WA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Rosedale Diet (Paperback)
As a veteran dieter of 35 years I felt I had come to an important truth about the cause of obesity when I read The Rosedale Diet. Trying the 28 day meal plan confirmed it. It was the first diet that I've tried, and I've tried nearly all of them, that I was truly satisfied and had no cravings. I couldn't even eat most of the snacks because I was so satisfied with the meals. I've lost 17 pounds plus all the stiffness and pain in my joints. My blood pressure is down and I can't wait to see if the cholesterol is too. I have more energy than I've had in years. I no longer have to have a moka joe to wake up. It's definitely the diet for my body. The recipes are simple and tasty. Sauces can be made ahead to speed the process. It would have helped if they had listed the page number where the recipe is found right behind the name of the dish on the meal plan but there is an index at the beginning of the recipe section that makes them fairly easy to find. But the meals are easy to interchange and to pop in one of my own that fits the bill. I even follow the plan when I have company and they seem very satisfied with the meals. I just add one of the deserts in the book (something I rarely do anymore on a daily basis). Dr. Rosedale helped me go from a sweet freak to a total abstainer painlessly. This is definitely a diet I can live with for the rest of my life.

Breakthru!!,
By G. Kerkhoven - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Rosedale Diet (Hardcover)
I ate 6 months successfully according to the South Beach Diet (lost 10 kilograms and lots of fat), but suddenly I started to gain wait again, so I tried Phase 1 of Atkins, which worsened my situation; UNTIL I discovered and read the book of Rosedale; he explains why you should eat moderate quantities of protein (which I didn't do of course in Atkins Phase 1 ) ànd you should be careful with "normal" meat, because saturated fat cause a raise in leptin, which causes you to become fatter ànd you should eat LOTS of GOOD fats!! So I started to eat more fish, lots of olives and avocado's, lots of olive oil, nuts and less protein, and miracle oh miracle, I immediately lost fat and weight on the right places, WITHOUT any effort :-))The key is leptin and Rosedale explain very well what leptin is, which type of food raises your leptin level, why that damages your health and even more important, he explains what you should and shouldn't eat in order to get your leptin in control again, with that comes weight and fat loss VERY EASILY 97 of 97 people found the following review helpful

To Lose Weight, Eat More Good-Quality Fat . . .,
By Shelley D. Schlender "Shelley" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Rosedale Diet (Hardcover)
We all know people who seem to stay trim and fit on a high-carb, low-fat diet. But most of us also know folks who, no matter how hard they try, can't seem to make this "standard healthy diet" work. So they blame their weak willpower, or they throw up their hands and say they were born unlucky. If you're one of these, or you know someone who's in a losing battle against their appetite, this book is perfect. Ron Rosedale gives a clear-headed explanation about why . . . and how . . . changing to a diet that's low in starchy carbs and high in good-quality fats, can restore a body's natural ability to match appetite with energy needs, WITHOUT counting calories or exercising like mad. It may sound crazy, eating more fat to lose unwanted pounds and reverse disease, but read the book and see what you think. Considered one of the nation's deepest thinkers, when it comes to the links between nutrition and health, Dr. Rosedale gives clear explanations about why his dietary approach may help people get off of medications for high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease and depression, to name a few. There are plenty of recipes, plus an extensive reference section of scientific papers. This book is bound to be controversial, since it challenges standard dietary thinking, which is another reason that it's exciting to read.

A Miracle,
By Leelioux - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Rosedale Diet (Hardcover)
My mother sent me this book and I received it 2 weeks ago. I began the plan last Friday and have lost 8lbs in the first week. I have a long way to go, but my constant hunger is GONE. I don't think about food 24/7, and when I eat, it doesn't take much to satisfy me and I just stop when I reach that point. This plan is so easy, and I don't have to cut out my favorite foods, so I know this is something that I'll stick to for the rest of my life. I feel like for the first time in my life, food has no power over me anymore. I realized yesterday that I haven't had chocolate in a week, but more astounding to me, I haven't THOUGHT about chocolate in a week! Coming from a chocoholic, that's pretty incredible. I feel great, have plenty of energy, and didn't go through any "withdrawls" like I used ot when I'd do just a low-carb diet. I recommend this to anyone who has struggled with their weight and has tried everything else. This really does work. Thank you Dr. Rosedale! My mother put it best - Why didn't anyone write this book 30 years ago?
