This review is from: The New Hilton Head Metabolism Diet: Revised for the 1990's and Beyond All New Menu Plans Based On new Foods and New Research (Mass Market Paperback)

I purchased the earlier version of this book 10 years ago and did the diet. I found it was very easy to follow. I lost 50 pounds in 3 months and I still have not gained it back and that was 10 years ago! I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to loose weight and keep it off! Several of my friends and family have tried it and also lost weight and kept it off. Its easy and inexpensive.

5.0 out of 5 stars A sensible effective diet., June 15, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: The New Hilton Head Metabolism Diet: Revised for the 1990's and Beyond All New Menu Plans Based On new Foods and New Research (Mass Market Paperback)

This diet is no less than amazing. It not only helps you to lose weight, but teaches you how to keep the weight off. I have been overweight my entire life and this book has, in laymens terms, helped me to understand why. I have, after week 3 lost a total of 20 pounds and feel healthier, but much more importantly happier with myself. I have yet to feel as if I was cheated or starving. The foods are both tasty and healthy.

More importantly, this diet teachs you portion control and how to maintain your weight after you've reached your weight loss goal, a key factor to long term success.

This diet just makes sense.

5.0 out of 5 stars Little Effort, Lots of Results, August 7, 2000

This review is from: The New Hilton Head Metabolism Diet: Revised for the 1990's and Beyond All New Menu Plans Based On new Foods and New Research (Mass Market Paperback)

If you're reading this, our stories are the same and I know where you're coming from. Your search is over. This really, really works. From the beginning, the concept is SIMPLE. Buy the book, buy your groceries and just start! When I started six years ago, I lost 63 pounds in 3 months by eating 3 meals plus 2 snacks a day and walking twice a day (20 minutes each time). The menu is planned to charge up your metabolism and I felt the difference on week 1 (lost 12 pounds). By week 3, my clothes were really bagging and what a boost that was! Also, the menus are flexible enough to be appetizing for your family whether you're eating in or out.

This has been not only the weight loss plan that worked for me, but it has also been the basis for the low-fat eating lifestyle that is now embedded in me. I KNOW it will do the same for you! Good Luck!!!
