Although many of the medical community will love to condemn this concept and this book, I have found that for the first time in a long time I am beginning to lose weight. But remember as in all diets, that this has to become a way of life, a routine that you will have to follow in your eating or you will yoyo back to where you were. I find the diet easy to follow and the reward meal is nice to look forward to during the day. I am no longer looking constantly in the food cabinets because I want something to eat.
