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.

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.

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!!!

If you have ever thought that you could never loose weight than you have to buy this book! The things you eat are REALLY good and you eat so often (5 times a day) that you are hardly ever hungry.

This book also has chapters on things like why you shouldn't feel guilty about being fat, and mental exercises that help you to not give in to cravings (and if you do give in to craving to forget about it, don't feel guilty, and move on).

I have been on this diet for 7 weeks and I've lost 20 lbs so far! People have started to tell me I look thinner and better. Even I can tell that I've lost weight. No other diet (or anything else) has ever worked for me before.

BUY THIS BOOK!!!!

I have been yo-yo-ing for about a year with these last ten pounds. I lost a good 45 at first about three years ago, then 15 more with the discovery of this book. When i picked up the book for a second time i was 5'9" tall and 150 lbs, wanting to be 140. I had 20 days to do it, and was anticipating losing about 7-10 lbs, while leaning more towards seven because those last few pounds are always harder because I am no longer overweight. I have always had faith in this book, and the structure it provides does wonders for all areas of my life. I lost the 10 lbs. and am thankful that i went back to this book to do it. This is the only diet book that i would ever touch again because it just makes sense, and the suggestions that Dr. Miller makes are totally reasonable if you know anything about being healthy. This diet will work for you, no matter who you are,if you follow it.ANother great thing, it is very reasonably priced compared to the other best selling diet books. A a consumer, that is a posotive flashing red light as to the content of this book.

I started this diet about a month ago. I have lost 20 lbs and still loosing more. This diet has provided me with a better understanding of food. It has also told me how to fight cravings and motivate myself. I now don't crave sweets or salt, and am in the best health I have ever been in. I have recomended this book to everyone I know.

My mom, sister, and I bought the book and went on the diet together. My mom lost 2 pounds, I lost 5, and my sister lost 12! My sister having the most fat to lose. We all love the recipes in the back of the book. We find we don't have to cheat on this diet and we continue to drop weight. I am starting week 3 and have dropped a total of 9 pounds. The twice daily exercise gets tuff at times but the results keep me going. Also, I have to remind myself to keep my exercise comfortable and enjoyable...like the book says to do. I can do this diet as a way of life. Good luck isn't needed for those of you who buy this book. You will get the results you are looking for.

I have struggled with weightloss for years, and lacked the discipline to accomplish it. This book makes it soooooo easy, all you do is follow the meal plans. I lost 35 lbs. and feel great.....

Simply stated, this is by far the best diet I've ever been on!Dr. Millers meals are all very simple and easy to prepare,even with the busiest of schedules..I've never saw a diet with so much variety..I've never had these good results in so litle time!I've lost 45lbs in 6 months,and have maintained all of it!this book is very very informative,and actually made me realize the importance of good nutrition..I really enjoyed the metabo-meals late at nite!goodbye pizza,burgers,and other fatty junk...EXCELLENT EXCELLENT BOOK...Try it....you'll love the results....BRAVO Dr.Miller!you've encouraged me to take control of my eating,instead of allowing food to control me!

Everything I read made sense in this excellent readable primer on how metabolism can be changed. Like throwing a few logs on the fire to make the furnace burn hotter, I used Miller's simple plan to lose 16 pounds in less than a month - and then keep it off (something I hadn't been able to do with any other plan). The 20-minute walks after meals became an easy way to keep the furnace hot while the food was being digested, (and the calories burned) and the Muscle Firmer exercises were just right to build my muscles up a bit while also keeping the "furnace" burning efficiently. Miller explains the how-to's very clearly and the focus on "portions" not "calorie counting" took some getting used to (the product's label is right there calling me to read it) but once I saw the genius of using portions, it freed me up to enjoy the food I ate much more. Understanding how metabolism works is the best part of the book. Applying the exercise and eating plan was easier when I understood what was going on inside my body. You'll read and re-read this book until the edges are worn - if you haven't already shared it with a friend who will keep it for a while.
