Book Reviews of The Menopause Diet
Book Review: Atkins diet in sheeps clothing
Summary: 2 Stars
I found this book very disappointing. I already own Dr. Atkins book and there isn't really any difference in the actual diet. The information on hormone therapy was interesting, but most of the information regarding recommended brands and doses of estrogen was available on the authors web site. If, like me, you have allergies to dairy products, eggs, or nuts, the companion book, "Mini-Meal Cookbook", is a waste of money.Book Review: Atkins diet in sheeps clothing

Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this book after being thrown into surgical menopause in my late thirties. I found the book to be difficult to follow and it didn't seem to have any "breakthrough" information. I felt exhausted just reading the book. I didn't feel the layout was "user-friendly" and abandoned the plan shortly after beginning. I do believe the book contains good information. But, it was just hard to follow.Book Review: Duplicate of the Goddess Diet
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered this and the Goddess Diet and they are essentially, the same book. The chapters are rearranged but it is the same "summarized" information in each book. Reviews tout Dr. Gillespie as having the ability to diseminate medical informaion in easy to understand terms. If you want the Cliff Notes of Low GI eating, then this is the book for you. Save your money and buy the Glycemic Revolution. This is the diet she espouses but she gives you minimal information-certainly not enough to follow a low GI plan successfully.Book Review: Interesting book
Summary: 2 Stars
This is an interesting book. The information seemed helpful, but one wonders if the diet really works. I tried it and had mixed results. This book may be of benefit for some readers, but not everyone fits the model that the advice is tailored to.
