Summary: This program really works!
Review: I bought "The Formula" three months ago and started the 21-days fat flush plan. Within one week, I could feel a difference in my energy level and I lost 8 pounds. So far, I've lost 35 pounds! I recommend this book to everyone whether you want to lose weight, control your blood sugar level or improve your health in general. This is the first time a nutritional program really works for me. My family and I will keep eating a balanced diet for the rest of our lives...

Summary: A formula you can follow easily!!!
Review: This is a fantastic book that helps you figure out how to eat well balanced meals. It is something that you can do for the rest of your life and do it rather simply. Not only that, it is personalized for you. It tells you what you should eat of the foods they recommend according to your weight, and activity level, very helpful. Most diet books only tell you what you should eat, and you can be eating WAY too much of it. It is easy to read, easy to follow, and has some delicious recipes that I was amazed by, and that my family all really liked. I enjoy eating the way the Formula says, it makes sense, helps me feel better, and is helping me lose more weight after I had plateued. THIS IS NOT a PROTEIN DIET book, you only get well balanced meal ideas and recipes. The price tag... is a bargain in my opinion.

Summary: Absolutely amazing book!
Review: I started dieting about 6 months ago using Slim Fast. Although this plan worked, the lack of variety nearly drove me crazy and I constantly felt starving and run down! I heard about the 40-30-30 idea from my sister who had visited a nutritionist and as a result I decided to do a bit of research on my own. I came across this book and ordered it. As soon as it arrived I read it from cover to cover. The next day I went crazy making all kinds of recipes from the book. Within a week of this diet mixed with exercise I felt better than I had ever felt in my whole life. It's just a general feeling of wellness...if I could bottle this feeling I would be a millionaire! I shed inches and started to notice defined muscle...something I've never had before.I really couldn't possibly say enough about this book! I only hope that they come out with a book filled with more recipes! Some recommendations as far as recipes go are the taco soup and the tortilla cheese pizza...YUMMY!!

Summary: Not much new from the '97 Daoust book
Review: I bought this book because I already owned a copy of 40-30-30 Fat Burning Nurtrition, published in l997 by the same authors, and was wanting more recipes. I found this book, published 4 years later, was basically a rehash with very few new recipes, so I am disappointed. However, if you are a newcomer to the 40-30-30 way of eating, this book will tell you what you need to know.

Summary: Formula for Success
Review: I never had a weight problem but after turning 45, age, gravity and a lifetime of careless eating began to take its toll. For seven years I tried to lose 10 pounds that I thought would make a difference. I had no idea how difficult that could be. Whether it was metabolism or ineffective diets, I don't know, but nothing worked. On a cruise last summer, the nutritionist suggested The Zone for my age, body type and goals. I got the Barry Sears Zone books and started the diet, with immediate weight loss as a result. I loved the idea of the Zone but found the system difficult to follow. Finding The Formula was a stroke of luck. The pounds melted off and I never "dieted." I have a new way of eating and I love it. I had fifteen pounds weight loss (141 pounds to 126) with no effort. I love the healthy, balanced meals and can't thank the Daousts enough for making a great diet even better. It is way of life for me and something I want to pass on to my kids and grandkids. A friend of mine just told me of her 22 pound weight loss and credits the great recipes in The Formula book that made it so easy for her. Don't hesitate to try it--what you will lose is weight and what you will gain is a balanced and healthy way of eating that makes more difference than just weight loss!

Summary: This Book Is Fantastic !!!
Review: I won't go into all the details but here is an honest opinion. This is not a miracle diet. I was hungry, but because the diet worked so fast, my willpower was sky high !!! In the first month I lost 20 lbs, without ANY exercise. I found that I had to always reduce the calories lower than what the book called for to keep the weight loss going, but it just kept going. For anyone who believes all peoples bodies work exactly the same (including doctors) YOU ARE WRONG !!! People like myself who were morbidly obese have defective bodies... They just don't work right. I am 10 ½ months into this "Life Change" and have lost 98 lbs. I am presently at 218 lbs. And feel FANTASTIC !!! I walk and jog and lift weights now... TONS OF ENERGY !!! My 14 year old twin sons cannot keep up with me on my bike. My shirts are not 4XL anymore... they are XL.
My inseam is now the same as my waist (32").
I can find cheap clothes now. You have got to try this !!! Because of my success, another very large man I work with started this diet. In four months he's lost 47 lbs.

Summary: Realistic, Effective yet So Simple!!
Review: I am a hypnotherapist who specializes in weight loss. Anything I talk with my clients, I try first on myself, so I tried many weight-loss methods; Atkins, low-fat with complex carb, fasting, you name it. Emperically, I believe this book offers the healthiest way. I did not become animic, craving was easy to control because of the great balance, and so many easy-to-fix menu never bored me. Very do-able.
Now along with my hypnosis, I offer this book to many clients, especially who seemingly have some kind of reaction to wheat and starchy food. They are losing weight very steadily!!
There is no magic or miracle in weight management, but this book most effectively puts together information and demystifies diet. It has become a great tool for my hypnosis practice.

Summary: A Diet for the Non-Dieter
Review: I have been at least 10 pounds overweight for the last 15 years and figured that was it - no matter what I did. My sister-in-law recommended this book a couple of months ago and I started my husband and myself on the 'Fat-Flush'. Now I'm twelve pounds lighter, my husband is 15 pounds lighter, and we both feel a lot better. It was strange at first, because I felt like I was eating even more than before. The recipes are great (I just wish there were more of them!) I am glad I learned of this book and am recommending it to everyone!
