As someone who has lost over 180 pounds naturally through diet and exercise, I have grown to love and admire anyone else who has been able to do the same for themselves.

That's why I was so anxious to read Roger Troy Wilson's story about losing an unbelievable 230 pounds in his new book called Let's Do Lunch. As a low-carb weight loss success story myself, I just HAD to know how he lost his weight and kept it off for many years now.

Well, what I discovered was the most peculiar and unique "diet" plan I think I have ever seen in my life. It's definitely NOT low-carb, low-fat, low-calorie, or portion-controlled. None of those ever worked for him no matter how hard he tried to lose weight on them. I don't know where Wilson came up with this way of eating, but it helped him shed the pounds and keep it off. Anything that can help you do that is worth taking a look at.

In Let's Do Lunch, Wilson not only shares his story about ballooning up to a "5-foot waist" (my waist got as big as 5'2"!), but also the many letters of thanks he has received from those who have enjoyed his special program. The enthusiasm these people have after losing weight is contagious and makes you want to know how the Let's Do Lunch plan works.

As a very successful businessman, Wilson knew he had a problem with obesity but ignored it for many years. As many of us former 400+ pounders will attest, the rollercoaster ride of lose, gain, lose, gain was ruthless. Trying time after time to find that one way of eating that will sustain us for the rest of our lives was challenging and draining. Surely there had to be a better way to control your weight?!

For Wilson, there was. And actually he can thank his son for getting him started on the greatest achievement of his life. When they say the old phrase "out of the mouth of babes," it was definitely true for Wilson.

His son had put some grapes in the freezer to have as a refreshing and delicious treat later in the day. But when Wilson found the grapes in the freezer, he immediately thought they were ruined and started blaming everyone for it. He went to his wife first, but she said she didn't do it. So then he calls his son and I'm sure he responded something along the lines of, "Chill out, Dad, it's cool. You've never tasted grapes this good before!"

And so Wilson tried one of these frozen fruits and was just amazed by how incredibly delicious they were. So he kept eating and eating them. He did the same thing the next night and the next night beginning a pattern that eventually led to the basis for the Let's Do Lunch program that helped him shed those pounds.

While Wilson makes it clear this is not a fruit diet, fruits of all kinds are highly encouraged to eat in the quantities of your choice. Besides the fruit, most of the rest of the Let's Do Lunch plan is fairly close to livin' la vida low-carb -- eliminate sugar, starches, and unnecessary carbs and consume more protein for satiety. As for the high sugar content in all of that fruit he endorses, Wilson said he doesn't think that sugar is fattening although the sugar found in candy bars and sweets is fattening. Hmmmm.

I chuckled when I read about how the "thin" version of Wilson is getting so much attention these days because I can personally relate to that experience. You life really does change after losing such a dramatic amount of weight. But I am envious of Roger Troy Wilson. He got his tummy tuck after losing weight and is so happy with it. This is a struggle for so many of us who have lost weight, but now have the hanging skin to look at every single day. Someday it will happen, someday. Wilson said it has made all the difference in the world how he sees himself when he looks in the mirror.

In a nutshell, the Let's Do Lunch weight loss plan calls for four things: eat fruit, make lunch your priority meal of the day, eat less fattening foods that you enjoy, and have corn, beans, and peas instead of bread, pasta, potatoes or rice. That's it. Do those things and you are well on your way to losing weight the way Wilson did it.

Of course, you will want to read Let's Do Lunch to get a better understanding of the who, what, where, why, when, how of this new way of eating. His "Helpful Tips" chapter answers all of those nagging questions you may be having about dieting in general and how Let's Do Lunch works to melt away the fat from your body. You'll have to turn to page 55 to see how often you should weigh yourself. It's not what you think.

Wilson also helps you deal with the inevitable cravings you will experience, what to do when you feel the desire to cheat, how to order when you eat out at a fast-food or sit-down restaurant.

But I know you are wondering about that little word known as exercise. Am I gonna have to sweat myself to death on this diet? In a word, nope! Wilson said exercise is not required on his program, but it will most certainly enhance the weight loss and health benefits you will enjoy if you do. Your body will also become more toned, energetic, and active. When you shed over 100 pounds off of your body, you cannot help but start moving faster and faster in every activity that you do. I am more active today than I have ever been in my entire life. And I'm sure Wilson is as well.

There is a structured 14-day eating plan for people who need to be told how to eat. Follow it strictly if you need guidance about doing the Let's Do Lunch plan. Wilson even provides a handy grocery shopping list about what you can and cannot buy to eat on his program. And in case you were wondering, what would a book about weight loss be without throwing in a few favorite recipes at the back of the book?

Wilson has made the Let's Do Lunch so user-friendly that you won't have any trouble reading it from cover to cover in one sitting. What an amazing story of weight loss triumph and success Wilson has to share. While my path to becoming skinny was very different from his, I have great respect and admiration for anyone who can get their obesity under control for good.

Won't you be the next Roger Troy Wilson to change your life forever? If so, then Let's Do Lunch.

You start by eating until you are full in ALL the food groups, whenever you are hungry, no matter how often that is and no matter how many calories you consume...even if you start by eating 10,000 calories a day! And you do this until your hunger cravings are gone and until all your cravings for all the fattening foods that have caused you to fail in the past are gone. Then, you still eat until full, but only at mealtimes.

Further, you get to eat all the lean red meat you want, along with all the unprocessed starchy carbs and sweetest fresh fruits and fruit smoothies you want, and including all the veggies and salads you want.

The foods and recipes cause your blood sugar to stabilize, which then forces you to start feeling less and less hungry with each day that passes. Thus, you begin to eat less and less, consume fewer and fewer calories and lose all the weight you want.

There are about 70 recipes in the book, a 14-Day Meal Plan, a chapter on exactly how to eat out (even at fast-food restaurants), a chapter on satisfying every craving and a complete grocery-shopping list. There is nothing left to question.

And on top of everything else, there is a free website to get your questions answered, and to get new recipes and new foods...www.letsdolunch.com/boards

Diets fail for one of two reasons...you end up being hungry all the time, or you end up craving something. With Let's Do Lunch, you are never hungry because you eat until you are full whenever you ARE hungry, and Let's Do Lunch eliminates all of your cravings. For example, Let's Do Lunch is full of healthy carbohydrates that you can eat until full and lose weight, and you don't have to count carbs, calories, fat grams, points or anything else.

Further, America's 3 favorite fattening foods are hamburgers, French fries and pizza. Let's Do Lunch has Let's Do Lunch Burgers that eliminate the cravings for the hamburgers, Potato Pancakes that eliminate the cravings for the French fries and Pizza Soup that eliminates the cravings for pizza.

The Let's Do Lunch Burgers are better tasting than regular hamburgers and are made with lean ground sirloin, ground white meat turkey and mashed pinto beans. The mashed pinto beans make the Let's Do Lunch Burgers so moist that they melt in your mouth, and yet the only thing you taste is the sirloin...and you can eat the Let's Do Lunch Burgers until full and lose weight!

The Pizza Soup is better tasting than pizza and is made with diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, lean ground sirloin, pureed pinto beans and other pizza toppings, and when the soup is hot you submerge a slice of mozzarella cheese on top, which melts right into the soup. Again, you can eat this Pizza Soup until full and lose weight.

The Potato Pancakes are better tasting than French fries and are made with blended butter beans, adding chicken broth, corn, diced green pepper and diced onion (if you like), and these ingredients are made into patties and fried in olive oil. Once more, you can eat these Potato Pancakes until full and lose weight.

Then, you can eat all the lean red meat you want, and Let's Do Lunch has crispbreads and corn thins, which are large, round, crisp and hold a burger. You can eat your salads with your favorite dressing on the side and with aged cheese crumbles on top. Some butter popcorns are non-fattening because there is no butter in the popcorn...there's soybean oil, but the author says that soybean oil is non-fattening. You can eat all the sweetest fresh fruits and fruit smoothies that you want and still lose weight, because the author discovered that fruit sugar does not turn to fat in the body. Therefore, you can literally eat all the cherries, grapes, frozen grapes, watermelon, pineapple, bananas and fruit smoothies that you want and still lose weight...and when you do this, it eliminates the cravings for the regular sugar foods.

Further, the author says you can drink all the wine you want, because it is made from grapes, and there is even a vodka that you can drink, again because it is made from grapes (CIROC VODKA).

There are over 70 recipes in the book that you can eat until full and lose weight, and they are in all the food groups.

If you go to the letsdolunch website and click on "message boards", there are over 1200 people already registered there, and they all say the same thing, "I read the book, I didn't believe it because it sounds too good to be true, BUT IT WORKS!

i have been following this program of eating for 4 1/2 months...longer than any diet i have ever been on in my life..i have no cravings....did you hear that?......i have NO cravings..i used to live from one craving to the next...i was the queen of junkfood...and now i couldn't care less about the foods i thought i couldn't live without...my clothes are hanging on me....i'm shrinking.......if i can do this,ANYONE CAN.....

I bought this book and sat and read it with my parents one night. We have all struggled with weight issues and this author is very honest about his own struggles. He describes having feelings of sadness and depression about weight issues that we've all had. He teaches you, in this book, how to overcome those feelings and conquer your own weight problems. For the first time in my life I feel free from sugar cravings, which was my biggest downfall. I can walk past the candy isle in the grocery store and not even be tempted. I don't get hungry on this plan, and if I do then I eat! Since reading the book and following his advice, I've lost 14 pounds and dropped a clothing size. This happened over a 6 week period. I had been seeing a weight loss specialist for 20 months and on average lost only 3 pounds a month. The plan I was on and the one this book outlines are very similar, the author of this book just knows the little secrets. I do eat a lot of fruit on this plan, but I really love fruit. You don't have to eat fruit at all on this plan if you don't want to. There are other choices. This book contains recipes for meal ideas, and I've prepared most of them and like all of them so far. If you suffer from sugar cravings, fruit is the only way to eliminate that. Not only am I losing pounds, my body shape is changing in ways it never has before and in a great way. I keep this book handy and read it often. It's informative, fun and easy to read. In the past six weeks, my mother has lost 7 pounds and that is all she wanted to lose. My father has lost 22 pounds and has a lot to go. I have lost 14 and have 30 to go. Please read this book with an open and honest heart and give it a try. You won't be disappointed. I wasn't and I'm the biggest skeptic! Happy losing!

First of all, Let's Do Lunch is totally different from all other diets. All other diets fail for one of two reasons -- either you end up being hungry all the time, or you end up craving foods that are not allowed on the diet. With Let's Do Lunch, you are never hungry because you eat until you are full at breakfast, lunch and dinner; and, all of your cravings for fattening foods are eliminated by eating non-fattening foods of that same food group. For example, eating recipes with non-fattening carbs in them, like all the different beans, corn, corn-on-the-cob, Orville's Butter Popcorn (which has no butter in it), peas, salads (with your favorite aged cheese crumbles on top, and with your favorite dressing) eliminates your cravings for bread, pasta, potatoes, rice and cereals; and eating the sweetest non-fattening fresh fruits like cherries, grapes, frozen grapes, watermelon, bananas, pineapple, fruit smoothies, etc., eliminates your cravings for desserts, candy and other sweet snacks. All of this and you eat as much protein as you want, but you eat it with one meal a day (you can eat protein with more than one meal, but if you do you will lose your weight a little slower). I couldn't be more impressed by Let's Do Lunch. It deserves to be on the Oprah Show, the Today Show, etc., because I truly believe it is the only way out of our society's problem with obesity.

I have prayed for God to send me a way of losing weight and He has through this book. I have lost 14lbs. in 6 weeks and I don't ever go hungry. The great thing is that the book recommends fruit but you don't have to eat fruit if you don't want, but it does help stop the cravings for regular sugar. Plus you get to eat till your full. Of course there are some things that you can't eat anymore such as breads and desserts but the pros outweigh the cons. I recommend this book to anyone who needs to lose from 1 pound and up. This is also not a diet that you can't have carbs because you can eat all the beans and corn and all the great vegetables that you want. You can even eat popcorn. It is wonderful and a God send. I praise God for this book and Roger Troy Wilson!

I have battled with my weight for 30 years. I heard about this book over the radio and decided to buy it since all the proceeds go to charity and it sounded like a good read besides helping me with my wieght loss. It was an easy book to read, fast and to the point. I started to do the program, I didn't loose weight right away but I felt a lot better, less bloated, the second or third week is when I noticed the weight coming off. I kept refering to the book for instructions and receipes. I have lost 6 lbs in 3 weeks. I don't really crave the sweets and that is what the author said would happen. I hope to loose 20 more lbs. I recommend reading this book, it will help you eat healthy.

REPEAT AFTER ME.......I WILL NEVER DIET AGAIN!!!!! I have been on every diet known to man and nothing ever stuck. Id lose for a short time and gain it right back. In six weeks both my husband and I have lost 13lbs and have never been hungry!!!! This is NOT a FRUIT DIET as some have claimed. My husband doesnt even LIKE FRUIT but he enjoys the smoothies every morning in fact he makes them himself!!!! You have to READ THIS BOOK not just glaze over it and expect to understand it. IN fact the author even recommends you read it 3 times in order for it to become second nature. Once you've tried this way of eating, even if you stray off the path once in a while (say Thanksgiving Dinner) you wont be able to wait to get back to eating from the acceptable choices again. I feel my health improving daily as the pounds continue to slip off my body without any exercise as well. I will exercise one day soon, one day when I dont have this additional 50lbs to drag around the track!!! Do yourself a FAVOR and give this a try, I promise you wont be dissapointed!! GOD BLESS

I'm one of those perpetual dieters - I've been through nearly every diet known to man and nothing has worked. It had gotten to the point that one or two weeks into a diet I'd start to crave sweets or snacks, and then just break down and eat everything in the house. Then ditched the diet. The "Lets Do Lunch" diet is so different - by eating fruit my body gets its sugar craving fulfilled. By switching lunch and dinner, eating the light meal at night, I don't sabatoge my body and load on pounds. And I am allowed to eat mountains of frozen grapes and low fat popcorn if I am in the mood for snacks, to fulfill my sweet or salty craving. I've already lost 10 pounds in 2 weeks and gone through Thanksgiving and numerous social events without craving or giving in to the sweets and fattening foods. This diet is amazing!!!!
