Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I too saw Oprah on October 4 and bought the book immediately. I read it and followed it. In one month's time, I have lost 13lbs (avg 2-3lbs per week). This program works when done properly. What bothers me is all of the negative comments that are completely untrue. The Hellers are not condoning a high fat diet. They are not promoting "binge" eating. They are not endorsing a "one-size-fits-all" diet. This program was specifically designed for people who have an addiction to carbohydrates. When followed properly the dieter will see the desired results including: 1. loss of hunger that drives people off their "one-size-fits-all" diets 2. weight loss 3. lower cholesterol levels 4. more energy 5. freedom from yo-yo dieting 6. joy in learning it's not about will power. If a person is not addicted to carbohydrates, they may see success with this plan and possibly with other plans. Of course everyone has to make their own decisions regarding health and fitness. Addicted persons CANNOT lose weight and heal their emotional wounds - weight and image related - on a carbohyrdate-rich eating plan. This program is empowering to the carbo addict in more ways than one. And if I'm not mistaken, Oprah did not TELL anyone to do this. She merely stated that she would give it a try for a month along with whomever wanted to in the audience (and watchers). That is NOT the definition of "endorsing a program". It is obvious that some people who have "reviewed" this book, COULD NOT HAVE READ IT.
