Summary: Finally a personelized diet Just make sense
Review: After years of Atkins, south beach Weight watchers etc. here is a way to lose the fat while maintaining the body mass in an healthy way(yes fruits and vegis are aloud, mr atkins).I am on this diet for some weeks now and this is the best shaping diet I have ever tried.

Summary: Weight Loss Based on Science---How Novel!
Review: Dr Heber's credentials are impeccable--he's been director of the Center for Human Nutrition at UCLA for decades, and has been working in the area of bariatric medicine for 30 years. His eating plan is based, not on only his own patients, but studies and results of weight loss patients all over the world. I was aware of the basics of this program before I bought the book, and was more than happy about my results, having lost 17 3/8 inches in the first four weeks on this diet. But I really appreciate the recipes, as well as the depth of data he offers for his dietary recommendations.

Summary: L.A. Shape Diet is empowering!!
Review: Hi! I'm not a Herbalife distributor like probably some of the authors of the other reviews are, but I have to say that this diet is working wonders for me. I'm a 23 year old male, and I've struggled all my life to lose weight. I have tried every imaginable diet out there, (Slim Fast, Weight Watchers, E-diets, Atkins, weight training, aerobics, low-fat diets, even a combination of healthy nutrition and exercise), but none of those things seemed to work for me very well. My friend recommended this book to me, and I am so thankful to her for ever doing so. The magic bullet about this plan is that personalized protein intake is a key here to achieve the results everyone is looking for. This is probably the reason why everything I've tried before didn't give me good results. I was very skeptical about trying the meal replacement deal again, but after reading how different this shake preparation is, I went for it, and I have to say that these shakes get me full and I don't feel hungry at all between meals. My energy levels have increased as a result, and I finally feel my body is receiving good nutrition. I am combining this diet plan with resistance bands, and the results I'm starting to see are amazing. I'm starting to trim the gut and the love handles around my chest without getting flabby skin. This is just awesome!! What's most surprising to me is that I get to eat fewer calories, but I don't feel weak or hungry at all, and with the other diets I would. There are not many high-quality meal replacements out there, but from my experience, my highest recommendations are Formula 1 from Herbalife, and GlycoSlim from Mannatech. The shakes from these companies meet the nutrients and quality standards described by Dr. Heber, and they are both scientifically proven to be low-glycemic. The above nutrition companies also have other high quality supplements to combine with one's efforts. I highly recommend L.A. Shape diet. After all, what if it works for you the way it's working for me and others? :)

Review: I am most impressed by Dr Heber's background and his quest for providing the people of the world the right information so they can change their health. He's got the credintials and science, to back his research not just theory.
I've implemented his program already and have increase the fruits and vegetables in my diet.
Thanks Dr Heber for your passion to help the world!

Review: I am so disappointed in "A reader from Los Angeles, CA " review, where are your credentials listed in your statement. And you may also want to get your facts straight about the founder of Herbalife Int., Mark Hughes, before you claim to know everything about the company and nutrition. Dr. David Heber is revolutionizing the way the world needs to think about nutrition and saving thousands of lives in the process, this is a wonderful book, something every person needs to read!

Summary: The worst diet I have EVER tried!
Review: I bought this book and tried the diet. I found the high protein shakes to be disgusting and bad tasting. I had heard good things about the L.A. Shape Diet from friends who had tried the diet but they were most definetly wrong. The only people who should go on this diet are people who enjoy eating horrible food. Also the high protein shakes were not filling at all. I reccomend buying any diet book BUT this.

Summary: To "A fatty" from New Jersey
Review: I don't agree, that protein powder from Herbalife is expensive. You can buy a 12.7oz container for $28.50 (excl. tax). I use it as recommended and one container lasts at least for two weeks. It is the first thing that really helped me - and my whole life was a diet!
If you need more information feel free to write me an email at dorthe.heinsohn@gmx.de
The only expensive is buying new (smaller!) clothes :-)

Summary: I have been doing a simular weight loss program
Review: I found this book very informative and an easy read. Dr. Heber's LA Shape Diet is proven within his scientific research and his patient's results. I had started a program similar to what he suggests at the beginning of March by consuming 100 grams of protein each day, except I have not been exercising, and only eating four of the suggested seven fruits and vegetables each day. My first 3 weeks I have had great energy, better looking skin and hair, less moodiness, zero cravings, nor was I hungry staying within 1400 calories a day. So far I've lost 9 lbs and 11.25 inches and I can actually see a little muscle definition. After reading about my own shape, I've made a few minor changes in my plan and can already feel a difference. The LA Shape Diet covers all the areas why most dieters fail and offers advice to be successful. I especially liked all the recipies for filling,low calorie snacks and meals. Heber's discussions about how to choose and use herbal supplements is a well written tutorial to help the wellness seeker know what to look for when choosing safe, effective supplements as well as choosing the most nutritious kinds of food at the grocery store. If you want to learn how to exercise, eat healthy and find out what your personal best strategy is to lose weight and keep it off, this is the book for you. The CEO's of the Fast and Processed Food Industry and of all the diet fads out there won't want you to read it!
