This book makes total sense. It takes effort to eat vegetables and proteins, as most Americans eat unhealthy diets of fast food, junk and anything out of a box. This type of eating is causing even children to be diagnosed with diabetes and other illnesses. Our bodies were made to eat vegetables, fruits, proteins and grains, but the average American ingests more starches than anything else. Starches are already hidden in many processed foods. If people would eat mostly fresh, non-starchy vegetables with proteins, along with a couple of fruits a day and only 1 or 2 servings of a WHOLE grain or healthy serving of fresh corn or a potato, they would heal from their weight and health issues. It's that simple. Most people either don't care enough or do not want to take responsibility for their health or weight. That's why -- for some -- this book might be too much work. However, it has worked wonders for me, my clients and my friends...and everyone else who is willing to change their unhealthy lifestyles. I have a lot of energy as a result of following Ms. Puhn's recommendations.

This book is extremely helpful for the person who is ready to make a complete lifestyle change. It makes more sense if you first read the book that comes before it, "The 5-Day Miracle Diet." This book builds on the principles of that book and is a good choice for people 35 and over. My entire family is on this plan and we all have lost weight and have much more energy. This is not for the person who is wishy-washy about dieting. It takes a real committment, but it works.

It's ok if you are serious about this way of eating. I gave it away.

I did not try this diet because I couldn't get past the first few chapters, it's a pretty boring read. The informatation makes sense, but the diet does not. Soft Chew or Hard Chew foods, I don't get. There are too many rules. I will be interested to see other reviews.
