A lot of diets are tough for people that work and have to bring lunch with them. This book has a lot of good tips for people who can't always eat at home or have to have business dinners. Quick. Simple. Efficient. In other words, a plan my busy life can incorporate!

Thanks Gregg

Heard this guy on a radio show, he seems to have a cute personality and his before and after pics look awesome. His site however looks a lot like other gimmick sites out there... "19.99 for the secrets the diet industry doesn't want you to know"... I'm just sayn'! Also the reviews (most of them) say pretty much the same exact same thing "he tells it like it is", and I'm always wary when the majority of these 5 star reviewers have but ONE review to their credit, this ONE. I think I will check my local library before I lay down the cash for this book of "secrets".

The before and after pictures of the author inspire me to give his diet a try. I'm not new to this dieting stuff, and I'm not naive about nutrition. I am diabetic, and I recognize in Gregg's diet a good diabetic diet--mainly fruits and grains. If Gregg can do what he has done for his body, I can do it for mine! Thanks for the inspiration, Gregg.

Its sounds simple because it is. Gregg's ideas are stellar and they have helped me shed 30 pounds fast and safely without pills or surgery.

Gregg writes in a way that is helpful unlike other diet book authors who seem to speak in a condescending tone. None of that here. Here is someone who was down in the trenches himself and has come out a huge success. I am so fortunate that I came upon this book

I liked this book because the author gives common sense advice that you know is just true. He kind of backs up those voices in your head that you know are right but you often choose to avoid. That helped me. This is a fun read as well. He uses humor to make his points and that seems to help his lessons hit home. I would definitely recommend this book to people looking for advice from someone who has gone through it.

Gregg's book was simple, straightforward and informative. I kept trying to just lose weight fast and not really take the time to examine, why and how I was gaining weight. Gregg helped me change my relationship to food. Thank goodness I read his book.

Wow what a find this book was! I have a ton of diet books on my shelf and this is the first one that completely makes sense. It has made a huge difference in the way I eat and think about food. I am on my way to a fabulous "after" picture thanks to this book. Hats off to this no nonsense author who was certainly not afraid to tell it like it is!

This book is so well written. I laughed out loud through the intro sections and the plan itself was laid out very efficiently. All the tools are there. Just when I rolled my eyes imagining myself scanning all the recipes for my shopping list, I turned the page and there was the shopping list. Nicely complete, nicely written with warmth and humor. Loved all the kooky tips like the warning on balsamic vinegar splatter. Those "hit-to-home" bullet points repeated in all the right places... so rhythmically executed they could easily morph to a hit rap tune. The "survival" section at the end is also pertinent and rings with a "tried-and-true" quality rarely found in this category of books. I'm just getting started but have already lost 6.6 pounds.

...it's going to be the guy who lost 250 pounds! First, he's very funny. It's like sitting down with a fat friend with whom you can commiserate. Secondly, his advice is pretty solid. Now I'm not following the recipes so much as the spirit of the book. Much of his "diet" plan is full of things any nutritionist would tell you, but coming from Gregg, it seems doable. He never tells you it's easy. There's no sugar-coating (forgive the pun) of the process. But what you do get is someone who is able to convey his belief that you can do it. Somehow, hearing that from the guy whose before and after pictures you have as proof, you may find yourself believing it in a way that you don't when it comes out of the mouth of some skinny, perky trainer or dietitian who you just know never had more than twenty pounds to lose.

Gregg is right. Just stop eating so much. We have so much in abundance today that we don't realize that we are eating ourselves to death. It is refreshing when some one comes along and just tells it like it is.
