I've lost 36 pounds, reached my goal, but am making this a life program. My doctor first recommened this, and when I saw him recently he said a lot of doctors are recommending it. This book is fantastic, and a shock. Who knew that "fat free evaporated milk" has as much sugar as a candy bar!? I still see "diet" recipes that say "substitute sugar with honey, chopped dates, ripened bananas..." The doctor explains that "ripened" just means the starch breaking down into sugar, and that "natural sugar" is still sugar! He also helps us to understand what's bogus, or just plain wrong even among well-intentioned "diet" recipes. When I got through the book's first chapter I thought OMG that's why no diet has worked for me, or was so hard, or I lost the weight & then gained it back. I'm also thrilled at the thought of fudge sauce on sliced fruit & walnuts every night. I feel so goood!
THIS is a diet!? But it works, it's funny and has the most up to date health/nutrition information. Also it's both low carb AND low fat, it will be easy to make into a life program.
