Book Reviews of The Abs Diet: The Six-Week Plan to Flatten Your Stomach and Keep You Lean for Life
Book Review: THE REAL DEAL!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
After years of yo-yo weight loss/gain through my 20's, I managed to drop 40 lbs last year on Weight Watchers Online. It taught me proper portion control (more on that in a min). By April of this year I had hit a serious plateau with my weight loss, and even 6 days/wk of exercise and what I thought was careful eating could not shake it (P90X workout by the way, you KNOW that is some stubborn fat!!). Then I picked up this book...
I am just shy of 2 weeks into this program and I am down 5 lbs!! I feel like a million bucks, and I can tell its very close to habit by now to eat in accordance with these guidelines. If I haven't eaten in the last 2 to 3 hrs, I can now FEEL my body telling me to refuel. I look forward to going grocery shopping just to see what healthy, delicious meals I can concoct. I must say its potentially the worst, most misleading title of any book ever, very shallow seeming really, but this defines the adage "don't judge a book by its cover". I agree with many of the other reviews in that it could have been shortened somewhat, and he does repeat himself quite a bit. That being said, the things he says are worth repeating in most cases. But it has truly been an eye opening experience learning the facts and ideas he lay's out inside. This is a plan for an incredibly healthy, eminently workable nutritional lifestyle. Combine this with P90X (UNBELIEVABLE workout program in and of itself) and the results are stunning.
If no review is complete with out a few "cons", I have one, and I think it is the cause of some of the lower ratings and unsuccessful attempts mentioned in the reviews. Two words...PORTION CONTROL. If there is one thing wrong with this book is I feel he does not give enough credence or credit to the value of portion control. My 3 months with Weight Watchers Online taught me the value of such. Be aware of how much you are taking in, and count calories or use this in conjunction with a food diary or something like Weight Watchers if necessary. Once you have figured out what your intake amounts should be and have those down, it will become second nature in no time!!
Bottom line: HIGHLY HIGHLY recommend this book!!
