Book Review: A Satisfying Well Written Diet Reform
Summary: 5 Stars
I actually do read a lot on nutrition and diet, and study fitness....and am pretty good at it, being in excellent shape for a 49 year old. However, approaching the age of 50, the lbs began creeping on, mercilessly. The old rules of even a year ago, including most always complex carbs, were not working any more. I happened to pick up this book, and it offered a way to tweak the system. I read the entire book, and the methods and the recipes appealed to me. I've just done it for a couple of days, but am giving it 5 stars because I can tell it will be the ticket. Why? Because I've greatly reduced carbs, including his suggestion at breakfast, and have improved my diet further by adding tons of veggies and even fruit, and the last 2 days have not in the least been hungry - essential for success. This diet just FEELS good to my body, appeals to my taste, and puts together in simple fashion information I've already read. Diets, more properly referred to as lifestyle changes, cannot work if the eating plan is inconvenient or not interesting. Some compare it to the South Beach Diet. I disagree. That book did not hold my interest, nor did I have much luck with the recipes there. It was too wordy and too contrived, and I never did read the entire book. This book is refreshingly simple, with plenty of lists and references to make it easy to do. So....in a sea of diet books out there, I think this is sound and has something to contribute for people dealing with stubborn weight loss problems and carb sensitivity. Most importantly, it is clear that this is a healthy diet. If you can deal with more carbs, he says, go for it - AFTER you've eaten your veggies and protein. Also good tip - if you drink a glass of beer or wine, drink it not before dinner, but with the main course. I plan to try this, too, to mitigate the effects of a carb/sugar rush into my system.
