 Excellent Book!!! July 18, 2008
I got the hard copy and the book is excellent. The book illustrates why people do not lose weight or perhaps show definition even if they work out frequently. The book also has schedules and foods that you should eat to improve your health. Well worth every penny in my opinion.
Awsome -- highly reccomend it June 27, 2008
easy to learn nutrition techniques. Personally I lost only a few pounds but I am turning fat into muscle. I would recommend some sort of fat burner to help curve hunger. I used 2 boxes of astrophex
Portion control and buying the healthier foods is the way to go - This is a life style long term dealio.
Very Good June 14, 2008
I would really recommend it for eveybody.
it is not a diet, it is more of a lifestyle. So it is not about eating less like any other regular diet, it is about eating what's right.
I think the book looks too big! the concepts are easy and the author didn't need to repetitive!
buy only this book and one of its workout dvds, and do not bother buying the other abs diet books (same info over and over again!)
Changed My Life June 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
My weight (& waistline) had always been a struggle for me. I had read other books about getting in shape, but I could never stick with them. Then I read this book, recommended to me by a co-worker, and it has changed my life forever.
What blew me away was the importance of what you eat. Sure, exercise is important, but think about it: you eat more times a day than you work out, so shouldn't you be paying just as much attention (if not more) to what you eat than going to the gym?
Other books I read stressed diet as well, but this book gave the WHY, not just the WHAT. And now, I do not look at food the way I used to. Foods I used to love, like pizza and fries, I now limit myself to them just once a week--if that.
I cannot recommend this book enough. I just hope it works you like it has for me. For me, it took three weeks before I began noticing the changes, so this is something you will need to be patient with; this is a marathon, not a sprint.
Like this book needs another review... May 21, 2008
I just finished reading this book, and I have to say this is unlike the other diets I'm familiar with -- it's actually something I can see working! I love eating, and the Abs Diet promotes even more of that to help raise your metabolism. The foods it suggests are quick and easy to prepare, and it gives you several recipes if you would like to get into that part of it.
What I like best is the simplicity and sensibleness of this program. I am a single mother and I don't usually take the time to take proper care of my health. There are simply too many other things that take priority over eating healthy, and spending 2 hrs every day preparing food. The author understands this and works with it. It takes a whole 45 seconds to make a smoothie, 10 seconds to grab a fruit and a handful of nuts, or about a minute to make a bowl of instant oatmeal. Eating often makes sense, eating healthier makes sense, and even the exercise program he suggests makes sense (tho I haven't gone that far yet).
I really like his approach, and I am anxious to see if I can actually make it work. If it does I will certainly plan to come back w/ an update and change this to a 5 star review.
PS. Oh, and one more thing.. I've been raving about the plan, but I really did enjoy David's writing style and odd names for his recipes as well.
