"Body For Life" Review - Just Sour Grapes....

The results are indeed in for me. As a veteran dieter with a lot of weight to lose, I have been on Monica Lynn's program for 3 months and have lost nearly 40lbs so far and the pounds keep coming off! I have more energy and feel better than I have in 10 years. I was buying a copy of this fantastic book for a friend of mine when I saw the ridiculous and misleading comments by the Body For Life guru and I just needed to set the record straight. The 5 Squares food is delicious, the program is no-nonsense and easy to follow and the results are amazing! This is only "diet" that I have ever been on that has enabled me to truly change my eating habits. I tried the Zone Diet for a much longer period of time which much less success. This book could change your life, it has certainly changed mine.

Delicious way to diet!

I purchased Monica Lynn's book to help me create healthy meals for myself and my husband. I was surprised at how easy Monica's meals are to create. I have lost 8 pounds and my husband has lost 17 pounds in 3 weeks! I am so thrilled! I have bought a ton of diet books over the years and I must say - this one works with ease. The recipes are so simple - I double them to save myself time with cooking. Lynn suggests saving the leftovers for the next days meals and portioning them out - brilliant. It is never easy to change ones eating habits and I must say - I rebelled at first...thankfully my husband is one of those people that get really focused and he motivated me to stay on track. I had sugar withdrawals the first 2 days as Lynn said I would...thankfully by day three I felt leaner and had more energy than I have had in years. This book is a no-brainer.

HEALTHY WEIGHT LOSS DOESN'T GET ANY EASIER

I received this book as a gift and I was blown away at how simple the system was! No more cravings, no more bloat, and yummy recipes - my favorite and the easiest - balsamic chicken strips has become my staple at snack time. I have been following the plan religiously for 3 weeks and have lost almost 15 pounds already! My cravings diminished, my energy shot through the roof - and being a preschool teacher, I sure needed that.Lynn gets right to the "meat and potatoes" of weight loss - no fancy technical stuff - just easy to follow guidelines, menus, and directions. The food diaries were key and I now feel that there is no other way to eat than "5 square" meals a day.

Fantastic Program for Fast/Healthy Weight Loss

This cookbook is great! It maps out a fail proof plan with many different food options and recipes. It discusses how to "eat more, eat clean" when changing your eating habits and changing to a healthier life. I would recommend this to EVERYONE! The recipes are easy to follow and taste fantastic!
