Summary: Just started....need help
Review: I have total faith in the diet, however, I must be doing something wrong. I've been following the diet to the letter. I've completed the first week and I haven't lost anything. I haven't gained either, so that is good. I think maybe I'm eating to much at the reward meal. Another writer said they understood the book to not put limits on amounts or types of food for the reward meal, and that's how I understand it also. I'm probably being impatient, but if anyone has advice for me, please e-mail me!

Summary: Shouldn't this title be discontinued?
Review: I purchased both this book as well as the newer title, "The Carbohydrate Addict's Lifespan Program" only to discover that much of the advice in this earlier book is considered outdated and erroneous by the authors! It is disingenuous to continue to sell this book without a disclaimer, and I hope the authors/publisher will make that correction soon. Meantime, I'm returning this book for a refund.

Summary: One of the few self-improvement that really works.
Review: I am back with a second review of this diet. I have lost 28 pounds since the last week of August. In spite of a few lapses in good judgment, this diet has worked very well. I have discovered along the way, if I drink anything between meals, other than water, the weight loss ceases. What this has meant, is that even diet drinks creat havoc with the insulin levels in my body. It took me 4 weeks to discover that for me and maybe for others who are experiencing no weight loss as well, that coffee, tea and diet drinks work best during meals. This includes those little packets of sugar substitute as well. Once I went to water only between meals - the weight began to come off again. Artificial sweetners and caffiene can fool your body and trigger insulin release. It is the best diet I have ever been on. If I never lose another pound, it is wonderful not being hungry all the time. Thank you, Dr.s Heller, thank you for a terrific way of eating for life. I am the true Carbohydrate Addict and this diet does work. By the way, my husband has lost 27 lbs. and he started the diet a week later than me. Oh, one wonderful benefit, no more indigestion. It went away when we began this diet. P.S. I lost one and one-half pounds over the Christmas holidays. Good luck, everyone. This book is terrific!

Summary: The eating plan works - even long term
Review: I've been on the program for 3 years. It's wonderful. To the people that are just starting, I'd encourage you to be patient. My weight loss was very sporatic. I'd feel as though I was losing but the scales didn't tell me that. I'd wait a couple more days and be down 5-6 pounds. It's the only way for me to eat for my life. I've been rid of 35-40 pounds for 2 full years. Thank you.

Summary: This is an eating program for life.
Review: I can't say enough about how wonderful it is to be able to be disciplined in my relationship to food. I have a plan which is very easy to follow and I know that my body can and will be healthier and stronger for it. I no longer crave sugar and caffeine and for me that equates to more energy! This is hands-down the easiest diet plan ever. Actually, I don't think of it as a diet plan, but as a life-long way of eating. Thank you to the Heller's for all of the many years of research and the inexpensive way to weight loss. Thank you for educating so many of us who have been successful with your program, but have always been told in the past that they had no willpower. I've lost 15 pounds in 3 months, and intend to lose a lot more weight over the course of a year. I know that I can succeed and you can too!

Summary: I love the book!
Review: I have been following the plan for six weeks and have lost ten pounds, and I feel great. The plan is easy to follow. I just wonder about the long term health implications of limiting your carbohydrate intake. ( I seem dehydrated a lot of the time). Anyway I am sticking with it for now and hope I lose the other 20 pounds. I'd like to hear from someone who has adopted this as a "lifeplan", and know how you're doing.

Summary: Need help to understand portions of food that we can eat.
Review: During a reward meal is there anything that we should know about before we start the hour meal. Like how many calories, carbs, sugars etc, we can have (or) as we understand it is ,that we can eat as much food as we want at one sitting. Can we just sit and graze till we are full. We(my husband and myself) have been following this program for 17 days now and have not lost one pound. The weight stays the same, and we are very discouraged. Please can anyone help and clarify the portions of food we can have at the reward mesl. Also, if Drs Heller have an e-mail address that we can write to please let us know so that we can get first hand information from them. Thanks

Summary: I found the book fascinating
Review: I need IMPUT, I've struggled with my weight my entire life. I'm 32 yrs old & weight 180lbs. My final straw was when I risked my life with PhenPhen, but it worked, for awhile, I lost 30lbs. I've been on this diet for a little over a month now and have lost the same 4lbs over and over. The book calls them efficiency plateaus, I call them a very big let down. I would love to hear from someone who has had a simular experience and how you overcame it. Am I doing something wrong? Please, Please e-mail me. I would love to talk to writers, they did an excellent job explaining the "science" of it all, the only reason I gave it four stars is because they left us hanging as to where to go for help if their clinic is out of reach. It is well worth reading!
