I have tried various diets including low carbs etc.I always felt sick I.E. dizzy ,weak etc.I bought this book and have been pleasantly suprised.The diet provides you with a fat budget that you don't exceed.I can eat whatever I want,including limitless fruits and veggies.I also like how it talks to men,although my wife does the program as well.The only down side is it becomes tedious to keep a food log 24/7.If you go out to eat it also is frustrating.I think if you want a sound nutritional base or don't mind counting calories this is a fine book.Didn't give it full 5 because of all the list keeping.

This book is less a plan for weight loss and more of a very basic overview of nutrition. Half of the book is a very large listing of foods and calories. Nothing new here.

I read this book about 4 months ago and decided to put the program to the test. I followed the program to the letter and even bought the fat calorie counter record book. For me this program has worked great. I was never starving or hungry feeling like you feel on most progams. I am down three pants sizes, my gut used to stick out to the point that I wouldnt tuck in my shirts (too many Vegas high- fat buffets) and I became nearly invisible to the opposite sex. After 4 months on this program and working out. Iam starting to get smiles again from the ladies and I can tuck my shirt in again. I have more energy than I had when I was 20 years younger. I waited to see if it worked before I wrote this review and it most certainly does..previously I tried the zone and atkins and actually got fatter. I cant recomend this book enough for a person who is serious about weight loss.

I'm not obese and I don't have a "problem," but I'm the kind of guy who needed a little something extra to get into my ideal shape. I found that something in this book. The methodology makes sense. The book is clear, sensible and fun to read! When you need motivation, it's there. When you need an explanation, it's there. Everything is there, but perhaps the best review I can give it is: Using this book, I lost 25 pounds and now feel better than I've ever felt before. Thank you!

I used this diet for a while and enjoyed steady healthy lost weight loss (about 25 pounds) while on it. It is a fairly simple plan, however eventually counting calories became a nuisance and did not fit well into my normal routine. However, this book still has a good bit of information on healthy lifestyles and healthy eating, and is written from a guys perspective, in a very to-the-point manner. If you respond well to low-fat diets, and have the willpower to monitor caloric intake, this plan should work, and the book is a good read. I have revised my review to 3 stars (from the original 5) because it turned out to be impractical for me in the long run.
