Amazon.com Review:
If you've been a yo-yo dieter for years or if you can eat a pound of pasta at one sitting, this book may very well be an eye opener. In simple--but never condescending--language, it explains the roots of carbohydrate cravings and teaches you how to normalize your insulin levels to prevent future food binges. Regulated insulin levels in turn help to temper serotonin levels, so food cravings and mood swings are prevented. The authors, both research scientists (one a health psychologist, the other a pathologist), have lost and kept off a total of 200 pounds between them. They've based this book on nearly a decade's worth of research, during which they've helped nearly 80 percent of their patients lose weight and keep it off for at least a year.
They explain that carbohydrate addicts most commonly crave popcorn, breads, bagels, rice, pasta, potatoes, ice cream, chocolate, pie, cookies, crackers, cake, fruit and fruit juice, potato chips, and pretzels. A questionnaire at the beginning of the book determines if you're indeed a carbohydrate addict, and if so, to what extent. (For those readers whose quiz doesn't indicate addiction, but who are bothered by their food cravings, the authors recommend a doctor's visit for an explanation.) The book includes a diet plan with dozens of easy recipes, a chart of the carbohydrate content of many common foods, and lists of binge triggers to watch for. The most appealing part of the diet--and one reason that it wins raves from its followers--is its once-a-day reward meal, which allows you to eat anything you want. The authors also offer helpful tips for incorporating the diet away from home, such as at parties and restaurants.

this diet totally delivered in terms of results! even when my initial weight loss slowed i was still losing fat at an incredibly fast rate! let me give you a run down of how this diet helped me and what type of journey i've been through.
when i was in high school (5 years ago) i was very involved in wrestling. i maintained weight all year, which was around 150lbs, so i wouldn't have to cut weight during the season and therefore perform at my strongest. as you can imagine, i was pretty ... Read More

The book and program are borderline obsessive/compulsive. I get the fact that book is written for a carb addict but the requirements of the program promote obsessive weight management. If you have to weigh every day and you live, eat and breathe weight loss then this is book for you. If you are like me and just want to be normal, I don't recommend this book at all. The recipes are helpful, but that is about the only positive I have for book.

I loved this book! It's like it was written just for me. My nutritionist recommend that I do this program. Within one day I noticed a difference in my cravings and my jeans felt looser. I've been on it just under two weeks now and I still love the program. It even works on vacation. It's the most balanced low carb program I've ever tried. I think the daily reward will help me to continue to stick with it and see results.

If you follow the suggested diet you will begin to lose weight the first week. Eating all the carbs you want during one hour each day satifies any cravings. Breakfasts are difficult but once you get used to the routine, it is an easy diet to follow. Dining out can be a task since you have to complete your meal within one hour - but just ask the waiter to bring all your food at once, even dessert!

I have lost 12 pounds in 1 month without being hungry! My problem in the past with diets is that I am hungry and irritable. With this diet, the pounds are melting off, I'm not hungry, and I get my "carb fix" with the reward meal at dinner. An excellent weight loss plan!
