I haven't started this program and I'm not sure I'm going to,but I had to see what all the fuss was about, so I bought it.The first problem I have with this is that you have to read 110 pages before you get to the Phase One menu plan and while I like the conversational tone of the book, I didn't appreciate having to search for the plan itself. The other thing that puzzles me is all the eggs he has you eating; I thought the most a person should eat was maybe two or three a week, and spinach for breakfast?! under an egg? YUK! and VEGETABLE juice?! I don't know about most people, but I get up at 6am and eggs and vegetable juice that early turns my stomach.if you want to lose weight, eat less and exercise more..like mom might've said.
