In an ideal world, everyone would take a long-term approach to dieting, trying to lose weight/fat gradually. They’d make small changes to their eating habits, activity patterns, or both. But we don’t live in an ideal world there are situations when that simply won’t work. Or where people simply aren’t willing to be patient. Maybe they need to drop weight fast for a special event, or they are an athlete or bodybuilder who has to get in shape and is under a time crunch. Maybe they just want the diet over as quickly as possible. Whatever the case, sometimes you need a way to drop both weight and fat quickly to reach your goals. That’s where The Rapid Fat Loss Handbook: A Scientific Approach to Crash Dieting comes in.

Good for fat old bags too,
This review is from: The Rapid Fat Loss Handbook: A Scientific Approach to Crash Dieting (Spiral-bound)
I have been stalled on normal low carb for 2 years. Being what most of you would call OLD (over 60) my metabolism would make a turtle seem lightning fast. So I bought Lyle's book. I liked it because it is written for people to understand easily (even trolls), is easy to follow and makes sense with the science. I have been doing the diet now for about 3-4 weeks and have finally broken my stall and lost about 6 pounds. I can see this as an approach to maintenance as well as one can dip into this diet for a few days as needed and it is easy to tweak for individual needs. You may not agree with everything Lyle says, but hey, it works. Can't argue with that.

One of the best,

This review is from: The Rapid Fat Loss Handbook: A Scientific Approach to Crash Dieting (Spiral-bound)
Controversial in some forums for his "no nonsense" approach (read: founded in science, not hype) to dieting, Lyle McDonald has written an easy to read and unique diet book. This is NOT "atkins with less calories," but instead a diet based on essential nutrition and when used correctly, lets the dieter drop weight and (more importantly) fat at the fastest possible rate without muscle loss. Most "crash diets" have the biggest problems with lacking necessary nutrients and "rebounding" (gaining the fat back), but this is why the Protein Sparing Modified Fast (PSMF) is best. It requires the essential fats, protein, minerals, and vitamins for health and includes tactics on completing the diet without gaining back the fat. This is my favourite diet book and has been my favourite way to lose fat without sacrificing muscle.

No BS here,

This review is from: The Rapid Fat Loss Handbook: A Scientific Approach to Crash Dieting (Spiral-bound)
If you want a book that babies you through pages of recipes and self-affirmation, you had best look elsewhere. If you want a book that gives you information in plain, no-nonsense terms without being bogged down with drivel, this is for you.
In his characteristic pull-no-punches style, Lyle outlines a quick, fast and very simple PSMF- a protein-sparing modified fast. Don't get this confused with Atkins or the Zone or anything trendy. The idea has been around for a long time; Lyle's book pulls it all together in a comprehensible and comprehensive plan. The book provides for all ranges of fitness and athletic ability, whether obese or fitness-competitor level. It outlines what to eat, what supplements may or may not be useful, and how to structure workouts on this particular diet.
