I first heard about this diet 3 years ago when I was pregnant with baby #3. Recently, after the Heller's were on Oprah, I was reminded of it and bought the book. I have been working out consistently with a trainer for 6 months PLUS following a low fat high carb diet. I didn't loose a pound! After taking the quiz I knew I was Carbo addicted. I studied the guidelines and decided to try it. The first day I lost 3 pounds. I've been on the diet a week and I've lost 7 pounds! The weight is melting off. I have been a little hungry but it's Christmas. A lot of food around to tempt. BUt I've remained true to the guidelines and enjoyed my reward meal every day. It's getting easier. BUy this book. Take the quiz on the website and if you see yourself in the Q&A--BUY THIS BOOK. You will be so grateful to the Hellers. IF you are Carbo. Addicted this diet is the best for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent suppliment to the Heller's Program, March 24, 1998

This review is from: The Carbohydrate Addict's Program for Success (Paperback)

The Hellers (co-authors of "The Carbohydrate Addicts Diet") have created an interactive guide for those using their diet plan. This is not a book of tips on how to use their diet plan, but a book that assists the dieter in understanding why they eat, and overeat, the wrong foods. Instead of focusing on the mechanics of diet, the dieter's other concerns: family reactions, childhood patterns, and self-esteem issues are evaluated. This is *not* a stand alone book, you will need to obtain one of the Heller's other books to understand their controlled carbohydrate diet, but if you are on the Heller's diet program, this book is indispensible.

I have been on the program since January and already feel more focused. It is easy to follow the plan; and I don't at all feel cheated. But, since I have had a lifelong weight problem (I'm a former Weight Watcher lecturer who has gained all her weight plus another 50 lbs back), needed the workbook to focus of the emotionality of my eating difficulties. I come from a long line of over-eaters; they still talk constantly about food and bingeing. This workbook is really helping me understand myself and put aside the self-blame.
