★☆☆☆☆
Beautifully Written but Ultimately Vaccuous
Every so often we are faced with the diet book that "revolutionizes" the way we eat. Be it Ornish, Atkins or the South Beach Diet, I cannot believe the general public can be so gullible as to buy every single diet book thrown out there (the 'cabbage soup' diet anyone?). Having read this book and being an avid dieter myself, I can only say that this book takes principles from the Atkins diet and Ornish diet and then rehashes it and says "OH BY THE WAY YOU HAVE TO EXERCISE" and proclaims all of this as something amazingly new! Unbelievable. I am only hoping that readers recognize this for the tired garbage that it is, and all the pretty packaging should not pursuade you to buy into this material. If you're looking for a good diet, a sensible low-carb (not as extreme as Atkins) diet coupled with exercise is ALL you need. There is no quick fix. If you read this book, thats pretty much all it tells you too, but its high-handedness and coining of new terms is just so silly that I am suprised no one has been able to see through the vapidness yet. WAKE UP EVERYONE! The only automatic weight loss that can happen is if you eat sensibly and exercise as well. Use the time you would to read this book, on a treadmill instead. Trust me on this one. kabitat@gmail.com
