Dr. Manny has done it again! I lost 24 lbs. in just 8 weeks. In discovering the seven power foods, this book injects energy and flavor into your everyday life. The foods you can dream up are so delicious that you don't feel like you're dieting at all. I've become quite the chemist in my kitchen having fun by mixing the power foods that are a vital part of this fast-track diet. If you're not that much of a chef, the book also has some delicious recipes. If you've struggled to lose weight, I urge everyone to try The Hot Latin Diet, it works, it's fun and it's full of flavor!

Through the years i have tried many diets and this is by far the easiest one to follow. The foods are delicious and at the end of the day, i dont feel deprived. If you have failed on other diets in the past, this is definately the book to buy!
