After having over 20 lbs gone using their first book, I forgot some things about balance and order of eating. I used this book to get back on track. It really helped to read it through. They offer bits of important information about blood sugar (insulin) control in the parts of the book not directly connected to each day. As far as I'm concerned, I've found a life-long way of eating, at least until gene therapy is discovered to cure my carb addiction (:

This book has been a lifesaver for me. I've tried pretty much all the diets out there, including Atkins and even as far as have the L & Y gastric bypass with results for awhile, then rebounding. I've found a plan I can definitely work with for the rest of my life and still enjoy the foods I love, plus go to special events and not feel guilty and not gain weight. I was skeptical at first about being able to eat anything I want once a day for an hour along with a balanced meal,,,,but tried it,,, and am continued to be surprised when I step on the scale every morning!! Try this plan, it works, and you can live with it.

I just picked up this book from the library and it was a God send to me- I read and followed Dr. Atkin's books and lost an amazing 60 pounds in 4 months before a trip to Mexico. When we returned home, I wanted to just take a break from watching everything I ate, and within 5 months I had gained the weight back. I don't know how it crept up so fast, but I just couldn't get back on track. Going back on induction made me gag- I couldn't stand the thought of eating that way the rest of my life. But after reading the steps in the Heller's book, it makes sense to me now. I don't feel like all carbs are evil, and the reward meals are so great! It makes me feel like a real person again- like I can go out to dinner or lunch with my friends and eat a normal meal! I can even have a little dessert if I play my cards right! I think this is a wonderful, wonderful book and I think it is a realistic look at the low carb lifestyle in full view. With Atkin's, it was not this clear to me. Now I understand how to eat and what order to eat the foods in! If you don't want to spend the money, go to the library and check it out like I did- I finished the entire book in one day- It is an easy read and worth your time! Good luck!
