Love this "diet"!!November 15, 2008 This is an amazing plan that has me eating so healthy its unreal!! I LOVE the smoothies and enjoy making up my own recipies for them as I go along. I have never felt better and my stomach is already flattening out. I use the smoothies for breakfast and sometimes snacks at night. They are so filling with skim milk, chocolate whey powder, PB and frozen fruits. Just like a shake. I am eating all natural now and I am really on top of not buying anything with high fructose corn syrup and saturated fats or trans fats. This is a fun, easy to read book that will change your life. You wont be disappointed.
Diet BookOctober 10, 2008 I was instructed by my doctor to get this book. I always make my book, dvd, or cd purchases on Amazon so that is why I bought it.
12 power foodsOctober 9, 2008 Good book, David Zinczenko emphasizes on a balanced diet and focus on the 12 power foods. I listed the 12 power foods and put it on my fridge door, so I could constantly remind myself what to eat more. There are also detail instructions and pictures for some weight-training exercises. It's helpful for both gym goers and people who likes to work out at home.
Lots of great info!September 15, 2008 I love the photos included in the book that shows the various techniques and excercies for each part of the muscle. Plus it has a guage to let the reader know if the particular excercise is for those who just started or those who have been working out for years. You don't have to start reading from the beginning. You can jump in anywhere and be well informed.
Book is Similar to Mens' Version, but Better Too!September 7, 2008 I already had the Abs Diet for Men book but wanted to see how they modified the womens' version. I think women need to be more sensitive to quantity of food intake then men do, and I was curious as to how this book addressed it. They still stick to the theory that eating the 12 power foods will keep you from over eating, but in case you don't buy it, they spend some time crunching numbers for those who want to calorie count. The math they use, though a little complicated, seems valid and useful.
The contents of this book are VERY similar to the men's book. If you already own the mens' version, you probably don't need to shell out cash for this one. BUT where this book really impressed me was the quantity of exercises. It goes way above and beyond the mens' version, and I love this book for that reason alone. They also do a great job showing you gym versus home versions of exercises so you can do variations with more basic equipment (dumbbells only, etc.).
I'm looking forward to digging in and getting results. Even if I can't get a six pack, following what this book outlines will definitely make you healthy.
