 What about veggies??? July 26, 2010
debanne
I just purchased the book and read through it. My husband and I would like to try it. But I'm wondering...where are all the vegetables? I looked through all 5 of his diet weeks and aside from some lettuce and spinach leaves, can find no vegetables included in the menus. This doesn't seem healthy at all to me. For example, under the "carb lover" week, one supper is mac & cheeese - that's it, no vegetables. Any ideas?
 Disappointed July 23, 2010

I received the book and was very disappointed to find that it was filled with meaty and very high fat recipes. The useful information could fit into a pamphlet of about 50 pages. Basically sugar is bad for you and you need to balance your sugar with healthy carbs. Big surprise there! This is just a reworking of the Zone diet. Sample menus would make most people over 5 feet 8 inches starve. I can see why someone would lose weight on this diet- it is a low calorie diet. I gave it 2 stars because he made two point of less sugar and more healthy carbs and sugar makes you have a big belly. I did not need a book to tell me that!
 Bacon, sausage, cheese, meat, heavy cream for starters..Bad July 22, 2010

Bad book. It may have some valid points about sugar being bad for us and we might need protein and fat to not crave sugar.
We do not need bacon and sausage. This guy took perfectly good 'lose weight' food and added heavy cream.
I'm leaving out the adjectives that come to mind. lol
Very disappointing. If you think you can take this book and do what it says, you could be disappointed. Personally, I am shocked that Dr. Weil, Dr. Oz, and Dr. Northrup recommended this. I guess they figure if we don't know massive quantities of fat, salt, and nitrates will kill us, we're beyond hope????
I was really counting on this being a no brainer. It is not. I've lost people to heart disease and heavy cream. This book is shocking.
Aside from that, it's annoying. You're supposed to use his genius S/C Sugar/Carb formula to magically lose weight. The sugar grams are exact. One point of carbs is between 5 and 20 carbs. If he just used the actual number of carbs, we would stay based in reality and ask how much fat and salt are in this amazing recipe. So, dig out your old carb counter book so you know how to count the carb points and don't go over.
This weight loss plan will work. Atkins proved that decades ago. I went from chubby to lean and mean in 10 days on Atkins with a little help from cyclamates. Back then, 1973, Atkins warned that more than 10 days on the low carb thing would trash your kidneys.
This guy gives health hints like don't buy turkey with nitrates in it because nitrates are bad for you. But, do be sure to add some ______________ bacon to everything you eat!!!!!!!
I have a list of 10 more things I'm outraged about. It's too hard to say it all without swearing. I, also, hate souding irrational. I am ticked at what this guy is doing.
Only useful in USA July 22, 2010

I believe that this would be a very, very helpful book for people living in the USA who wanted to loose weight as it gives examples of actual food products that can be substituted. However it is not suitable for people overseas because so many of the products are only available in the USA.
Interesting ideas July 19, 2010

Interesting, but not too practical. Good suggestons for cutting sugar from your diet, but the recipes for what to eat in it's place are very heavy in fat.
Good resources for low sugar products. That was worth the price of the book.
