Although the book has some good tips I had trouble getting started and once I did well lets put it this way i did not stick with it for long. The only reason I am keeping the book is because it list alot of foods and how much protein, carb, fat information is in them. They hype the book up and I fell in hook line and sinker. I guess that old saying applies right about know ” If it sounds to good to be true Etc….” 40 carb 30 protien 30 fat dont cut it. But I did figure out how to loose weight and keep it off; Its simple I got off my lazy butt started to excersise ate better and walla 10lbs lighter and working for more AND HERES THE CATCH ITS FREE walking 30min and common sense tells you wich foods in your fridge are good and bad for you.

Our body needs 55% of total calories to come from carbohydrates, 30% (or less) to come from fat, and ONLY 15% from protein. I feel this book is misleading…we need a high percentage of carbohydrates for energy!!!!!

The concerned dietetics student might just consider that this book represents the state of the art, and think about what this diet accomplishes. This notion of hers that the body NEEDS 55% of its calories from carbs is just silly. Come on now, Sarah, open your mind and question some of what you are learning. THAT is the point of liberal education!

I am a major fitness buff who is close to competing in fitness competitions. I just needed a little help with the diet so I looked for a book. This book has the right idea in balancing out the food groups but they sarve you to death. I am 5’4 and 120 lbs (all muscle). They had me eating 1,069 calories a day. I can eat however I want and lose weight on that amount. A person has a basic set of calorie needs just to live. You add on top of that your caloric needs for your activity level. Then you either exercise alot or cut back no more than 200 calories a day. This book is a joke. I suggest that you research this and go with the PR Bar company. Its a 40-30-30 plan also but they detail it to your weight, height and activity level. It comes with a cookbook and they are there for 24 hour support if you need them. Talk to Rob he is my support person and also a personal trainer. If you are going to do it do it right! Good luck.

I have been following the 21st Century Nutrition guidelines which are similar but the book makes a lot of sense. It is easy to read and very informative. I have recommended the book to several of my friends and hope to have a lot of success with this program.
