Customer Reviews

It really works.

I love this diet program. I've been on this program for almost a year, and so far I've lost over 90 lbs. and it wasn't that hard. It really has cut my cravings for all things sweet/starchy. I'm so glad I found it.

It might not be for everyone but this is the first program that I can stick with

I have lost 35 pounds on this program, I have been on it just about 6 months so that is not a great deal of weight and I still have some to go but the main thing is I don't feel deprived and I don't feel out of control any more.I still do go nuts on some foods but it is easy to get back on track and I realize that I can. I had never been skinny but I had been feeling even more out of control on my eating the last few years, maybe age maybe lifestyle (working from home and spending way too much time in front of a computer and near a kitchen) but what ever I had got the point something needed to be done or I might as well just jump in that hole I was digging for myself.I have also been doing some exercising and taking some of the supplements too so I am doing the extra options but for me this has been a real lifestyle change. And very doable, some people would not be able to stay on this because of food preferences but for me it is perfect. I have sent this book to many of my friends and family and it has not clicked in for them but everyone has to be ready to do anything and this was the right time and then right option for me.

It's a Miracle!

I've been on this program for 3 weeks. This has been the BEST program I've ever been on. I've struggled with my weight for 20 years. I'm amazed at the "NO CRAVINGS". That's the miracle. I don't crave chocolate or popcorn, my two favorite things in the world (WAS). I'm actually enjoying myself. I can see this as being a lifestyle change with no effort. I finally found a program I appreciate. It really is a miracle in my life. I encourage whoever reads this to give this book a try. You can't lose anything but pounds. HA! HA!

Never felt better

My doctor recommended this diet to me since my cholesterol & triglycerides are high and I need to lose 50#. I was and still am skeptical because I never go on fad diets & since I have kept up with all the facts over the years (supporting low fat, high carb), and which was successful for me in terms of lowering cholesterol & losing 25#, but takes a great deal of willpower. THIS DIET does not take any willpower, I love it. I have ALWAYS craved sugar, but starting the 1st day, there were no more cravings! I am reading everyone's reviews (thanks) and becoming more faithful that this is not just a fad diet, but a way of life. I lost 5# in a couple of weeks (which is the biggest weight loss I've ever had in that amount of time), it's too good to be true. It's just unbelievable how effortless it is. I have so much more energy than before, and lost the feelings of anxiety from feeling hungry all the time. The real test will be if the triglyceride & cholesterol levels come down, that will be the convincing factor for me.

The Carbohydrate's Diet

This book has revolutionized my life! I am 51 years old and have been on diets since high school. Many of them over and over again. You wouldn't think that I should weigh over 200 lbs with all that dieting! But this diet addressed my carbohydrate addiction. Something I had never heard before. The diets I had been on before had me eating lots of the things I was addicted to, and had my family wondering, "Why can't she lose weight?" and, "She could be so pretty." When I started on "the diet", the first thing I rejoiced about was the fact that I was finally in control of what and when I ate. That was the most significant change in my life. Besides the fact that now I was eating the things that I had always wanted to eat in the first place! I don't experience those familiar cravings 2 hours after I eat a meal. I am satisfied at night and I'm not thinking about what I could eat after dinner,(until bedtime!) I have lost 18 lbs in 8 weeks and for the first time I'm not thinking, "as soon as I reach my goal, I'm going off this diet". This is something that I want to continue for the rest of my life, because my blood pressure is down and I won't get Adult onset Diabetes like my father has. I am so thankful for this discovery, that is isn't a matter of "willpower", but BIOLOGY! I love the new me!
