I picked up a copy of this book at a used book sale and I'm amazed that this book is out of print. It is very much like the current Medifast program where you drink a liquid supplement throughout the day and have a lean and green meal at night. It's great for people who are busy throughout the day and it gives you a real meal to look forward to at night. I lost 11 lbs in the first week! Instead of the supplement formula they give you in the book, I use soy milk or any low carb meal replacement drink. Then I use my George Foreman grill at night to grill some lean meat or fish, some low carb vegetables, and I have a spinach or romaine salad to top it all off. If I need to go out for lunch with friends or for business, I just switch the evening meal to lunchtime. It couldn't be easier. I don't think you would want to stay on this plan indefinitely, but it sure is helpful to jump start weightloss and it is something you can do a couple days a week maintain a weightloss. If you want to make it even easier, make your evening meal a low carb frozen dinner and add prepared salad from a bag. I'm going back on the plan to lose a few pounds before my 50 birthday next month.
So simple and so easy!

I first used the diet in this book to lose my after-childbirth fat. From time to time, I return to it when I have become inattentive to my diet and weight. What I like about it is that it is so easy to do. And the weight loss happens almost as if by magic. In addition, one finds that one comes to truly enjoy and savor food as a sensory experience. What first appealed to me about this diet is that I can set a weight loss goal -- and get right with the weight loss. No discouraging 1 pound a week -- but a very encouraging 5 pounds per week. Really! I think, if I have the fat to lose, then don't mess around, just lose it!
