Summary: Finally, something that WORKS!!!
Review: After being a member of the "Diet of the Month" club (for several years, I might add) I have finally found something that works, is easy to stick to, and has made be feel better that I have in years. Just 10 days into my plan, my clothes are beginning to feel different, my energy level is up and I am sleeping great at night! This book is packed with useful information that is easy to read and understand. And by answering just a few questions, you can choose 1 of the 10 plans offered that best works for you. I have already recommended it to several friends and family members and highly recommend it to you, too!! And THANK YOU TONY, for sharing this information with us!

Summary: Very interesting, but somewhat gimmicky
Review: Beware! This book is not for helping you change your habits over the long-term, but it interesting because it gives you a range of options should you need to lose weight quickly. And I MEAN WEIGHT, not NECESSARILY FAT. In fact, you will probably just lose a lot of water and the glycogen stored in your muscles, instead of actual FAT. It is pretty much physically impossible to lose 5 pounds a week unless you are morbidly obese and totally starving, which is not healthy, nor is it realistic over the long term. But "Dr." -- and that's Ph.D., not M.D.--Perrone gets 2 stars from me for the effort!

Summary: This is the one that works!
Review: I am fortunate enough to be a patient of Dr. Perrone's, but I admit to trying just about every kind of diet and fat reduction plan over the years with temporary success at best. This program works, is effortless (really!) and has given me the body I never expected but for which I always wished. If you are ready to really lose the fat and increase your strength, energy and health, get the book and try the program.

Summary: Hollywood's Healthiest Diets
Review: I found this book quite by accident and was impressed with the thoroughness of the questionnaires, the easy-to-read and understand explanation of metabolism and body function, the supporting medical documentation, and Dr. Perrone's own hands-on experience with thousands of clients. I tried the diet (Unlimited Protein & Vegetables was my plan) and lost 30 lbs. effortlessly in 7 weeks eating lots of veggies, lean meats, seafood and fish. First time in my LIFE I had been overweight and I am almost back to where I should be. Got my Mom on the plan and she lost 18 lbs in 1 month, normalizing her blood pressure for the first time in years. I've purchased several copies for friends and family for gifts, and can't recommend it enough.

Summary: An Incredible Amount of NEW Information!
Review: I guess what your parents told you (and for that matter your doctor) was wrong! I can't believe the difference in what we as Americans 'think' we should eat versus what Tony is telling us. I was basically clueless when it came to understanding how our body digests food and how important that aspect is to maintaining proper weight and body-fat! Tony truly gives us all the secrets we need to lose body-fat and maintain a trim and toned body. I recommend this book to anyone that is persistently on a diet and not getting the results they want and is looking for 'the answer'. It all makes so much sense now! Thanks Tony!

Summary: These diets REALLY work!!!
Review: I have read this book from front to back and have selected the perfect diet for me from the diet questions. I have lost 15lbs in two months eating the foods that I love from the protein, carb, fat and free foods lists. I followed the instructions and have not been hungry. Other than planning to cook a turkey breast on the weekend for the week and for shopping for my foods that I will eat that week, this diet is a snap! I feel healthy. I feel very good. My muscle strength is returning and my fat is melting way. I would reconmend to the buyer of this book to get the free Lean Body Mass Calculator from (Diet Hacker). By weighting yourself once a month, doing the measurements that are required by the Lean Body Mass Calculator, you will get a fairly accurate Percent Body Fat measurement. With this number, the rest of the calculations in the book for your specific diet will give to you the exact information that you will need to create your daily meals. I would also advise that the buyer take a good multi-vitamin & mineral supplement, so you will be sure your body is getting the complete nutrition it needs everyday.Here's to a slimmer me! Yum!!

Summary: Very interesting, but somewhat gimmicky
Review: I'll admit that these diet plans probably work, but I just got this book and it is not as easy as it sounds. I can see how it would work for celebrities who have someone to make them the meals they want with the allowed foods. I am a busy college student, and the 3+2 was what was the best for me, but there was no way in the world with my schedule that I'd be able to get the amount of protien that my plan required by cooking foods. So I was going to try drinking protien powder shakes. THEY ARE DISGUSTING AND EXPENSIVE. If you have the time and the money to prepare a variety of meals then I think you will be satisifed with this book and I wish you well, otherwise you will have a hard time. All these diets require that you eat a LOT of protien, and not from some of the sources that we previously believed to be good protien, like dairy products. Also, if you don't know your exact body fat for some of these plans you have to make estimates, how many people are going to go out and get their bodyfat monitored? Your doctors office would laugh at you if you called them and told them you wanted to make an appointment to do that. There are a lot of hidden advertisements for Dr.Perrone's products, constantly reminding you to dial a certain number toll free if you need something he wants you to buy and he can't find it. However, I am using the book as inspiration to diet, I may not lose fat as rapidly as if I was on an exact plan from the book, but I am going to try. I am going to eat a decent amonut of protien and lots of vegetables, and limit my fat and carbohydrates.
