As a fan of the Hellers' work, and just then experiencing a plateau in my weight loss progression, I was delighted to see this title. I found the ideas in it practical and workable, and they worked! My weight plateau is turning into a downslope again.

Although I like their recipes very much, I have one and a half caveats for these recipes as well as for those in their *No Cravings* cookbook: The recipes' prep times do not include time for the necessary dicing onions, mincing garlic, shredding cabbage, marinating, etc. but rather only the time needed once all that is done. Occasionally there are typos in the recipes also, but easy enough to figure out what the authors meant. I want to emphasize again that their recipes are just wonderfully tasty and filling, and that their system works for me.

Low carb eating plans are not for everyone, but if you have had difficulty with other diets, including constant hunger and the feeling of deprivation or, falling off the no carb wagon too many times, then the advice in this book is worth every minute of your time.
If you want to stay on the low carb diet plan, it's important that you understand how it works with your body, what products are available to help you stay on course, & what to do when you hit a roadblock.
The authors have made low carb a lifestyle for themselves, their advice reflects their experiences.

Product was exactly as i expected. The book itself is very helpful for weaning you off of carbs. We are losing weight as I type!

It happens that I bought this book to begin a new way of losing weight.
I found that the ideas in the book were outdated. Other ideas were same as other low carb books.

Great update on the information I had on how carbs are actually digested. The sample meals and recipes help to plan more interesting meals.

This book really hit home with me. I am now on the way to a new body after discovering I am a extreme carb addict. I think Amazon is a great web site for finding most anything.

Thanks,

Unless you are acquainted the Hellers previous books this one proves to be confusing. I find this book to be a waste of paper. I have read the majority of the Heller's books in the Carbohydrate Addict series and this is by far a waste of my reading time. The book needs more substance like that of The Carbohydrate Life Span. I hate it when diet book authors resort to crappy recipes and large print to cover the fact that they have nothing pertinent to say on the subject. I purchased this book with the anticipation that The 7-Day Plan would offer more insight into the art of low carbing. Look away!! look away!!
