In April of 98' I sat in the dentist office, 44 years old, 50 pounds overweight and ready to have my teeth all pulled. I had given up on ever looking good again. While waiting, I picked up the Lady's Home Journal and read Edita's Fountain of Youth Plan. At that point I decided to turn things around. I did not have my teeth pull, instead I had them all fixed. Then I went straight to buy the foods I needed to start the plan. I have been on it for over a year now. I have lost 50lbs and I feel great. Then someone told me Edita had a book out too. I could not wait to get it. I found I could have written the first two pages where she tells of how she felt before the diet and about her live long struggle with her wieght. I had stayed on the 7 day plan from the magizine not altering it a bit, but now the book gives me a more comprehensive extented version and more reciepts. I love it. I am a true believer. I recommend it to everyone who is ready and willing to make the lifestyle change it requires.

This is an easy to follow, easy to stay on diet. I lost 15 pounds in about 2 months and feel more energetic and just generally healthier. I never feel hungry. I plan to stay on this "diet" for the rest of my life. I like it so well, I recommend it highly, and I have bought extra copies of the book for family members.

I followed Edita's diet for 45 days I can say honestly that if I had been losing the weight I'd hoped for, it would have been easy to continue for the full 90 days. Maybe longer. There was more food on the menu for each day than I could consume. More sweets and carbohydrates than I had been eating (and I suspect my undoing). I did feel much better though. The testing made me avare of my high cholesterol count The vitamin information is well presented here and the 1/2 hour a day exercise is a good start for the long sedentary. And steamed (her selection) vegetables are now a staple at our dinner table.

This is the only "diet" that I have ever been able to stay with more than a few days. The author documents her theories with plenty of info on antioxidants, and although my own weight loss has not paralleled what I expected at the outset (after 14 days), I do feel and look better, and am actually walking 1/2 hour a day. I also altered my expectations after taking the 6 tests...found that my body was already 20 years younger than my age, and that I wasn't overweight at all. Lots of veggies, and I'm learning to like cauliflower. Will I be able to stay on this for 90 days? Hope so.

This is by the same author trying to sell herbal pills to kids... is there no end to those trying to prey upon the unhappy and insecure... simply eat less and take some vitamins ... that's about all any of these books say... save your money...
