Summary: No more rollercoaster
Review: This truly will be my last diet. After more than 30 years of riding the diet roller coaster, Dr. DesMaisons has shown me the way to end that insanity. By teaching us how to heal our special biochemistry first, really learning maintenance first, the gradual weight loss really is permanent. I have been following her program for about a year, have lost weight slowly and consistently, and feel better than ever. Knowing that there was a reason why I was unable to maintain the weight I was able to lose on any other diet program I followed so rigidly is very freeing. Now I am listening to my body and customizing this program just for me while following the outline provided in this book. The results are miraculous. If you believe you are sugar sensitive, you just have to try this to become a believer, too.

Summary: Not written for guys like me, but I still liked it
Review: While reading this book, I felt that the author was NOT speaking to me - otherwise I'd give it 4 or 5 stars! The author appears to assume the reader is a (a) female, who (b) obsesses about her weight, (c) needs to lose a lot of weight, (d) has tried many different diets already, and (e) has experienced yo-yo gains and losses in weight.I'm a (a) man who (b) has never thought much about my weight, (c) is on the upper end of the "healthy range" and desires to lose only 12% of my current weight, (d) has never tried to lose weight before, and (e) has never yo-yo'd but steadily gained as I reached middle age. No, the author was definitely speaking to someone else. That being said, I thought the actual advice in the book is spot-on and makes much sense for ANYBODY to follow, not just for someone like me who had childhood experiences with hypoglycemia. The only thing to which I couldn't relate was the personal food journal, but I guess it makes sense. It takes discipline, however. The diet advice in this book, combined with the exercises and diet advice in Jorge Cruise's "8 Minutes in the Morning" are a great combination. Follow the diet and lifestyle changes in "Your Last Diet" and where it doesn't conflict, follow the advice in "8 Minutes" such as the flax oil and food cards, and do the exercises (which actually take more more like 17 minutes). You'll feel great.
