I've read almost all of the most popular diet books written in the past 30 years and have found them boring and unrealistic in their recommended diet programs. Mr. Heavin's book IS the exception. First, it was interesting to read and he got to the point quickly on how to lose weight and keep it off permanently. Mr. Heavin explained, in LAYMAN'S terms, the causes of obesity and how to change one's metabolism. The net result is one's body becomes a fat burning machine and not a fat producing machine. Where his book really stands out is his weight loss maintenance program. It is the only maintenance program that EVERYONE can follow because eventually one only has to diet for a few days a month to remain slim forever!

This book is written as if Mr. Heavin were talking to you, so it's easy to understand. I read it all in one sitting, but read it again to review the key points. I was only trying to lose the weight from having my daughter, but the diet and the Curves for Women workouts got me into better shape than I was BEFORE I had my baby! If you can, look up a Curves to do the workouts with the diet because the all-over strength training is what did it for me!

I am a firm believer in the book : Permanent Results Without Permanent Dieting . The author, Gary Heavin is one wonderful person . He knows what women need and the way we need to be taught to achive our goals in life with excercise . His franchise ; Curves For Women , has made permanent results for me and has made me a better person for myself .

I'm not a proponent of low-carb diets, so this book really wasn't for me...but for those who are, it's a good book. It's a little hard to follow his plan and distill it down to a workable plan. The calorie restricted plan is also carbohydrate restricted, so a little misleading to say it includes both a carb sensitive and calorie sensitive plan. Truly, both are low carb diets. For some, this may be just what they are looking for, but I prefer a more well-rounded diet myself.
