This review is from: Dr. Shintani's Eat More, Weigh Less Diet (Paperback)

I like easy or simple books and this was one that made it very easy to follow. The diet is one that is simple to do and though he doesn't say you have to be vegetarian he recommends it. The way he explains it makes it very easy to make this a way of life. He also has Eat More, Weigh Less Cookbook that is also very simple to use.

This review is from: Dr. Shintani's Eat More, Weigh Less Diet (Paperback)

I puchased this book as part of the Hawaiian diet program. It came with the cookbook, 21 day get started meal guide, lose weight while you sleep booklet, 2 audio and 2 video tapes back in the year 2000. I have continued to work with the priciples of the Eat More, Weigh Less diet and it really does work !!! Dr. Shintani explains the scientific evidence while using humor and genuine concern to help guide all the people who want to sincerely make an effort for the last time in dealing with improving your overall health, and changing your diet while losing weight. The Eat More Index is the key !
There are many reasons why people are overweight. It can range from biological to psychological influences but...If one can make the commitment to change their behavior toward food and eat healthy...then YOU are half way there to a better newly improved YOU !!! The Eat More, Weigh Less priciples can truly help as you make your way to the new path...

I sincerely wish all of you Good Health as you enjoy a new(old) way to Eating More and Weighing Less.

This review is from: Dr. Shintani's Eat More, Weigh Less Diet (Paperback)

I followed this eating plan with excellent results, The Doctor puts the info in such positive terms

that you can't go wrong and you want to read more. I enjoyed the way he visually displays how much

veggies you'd have to eat to equal 2500 calories. Even though I was eating veggies all the time I was satisfied.

I started out at 226 and ended up at 185 in 22 weeks (Feb to July 2011).

That's from a 38" waist to 34" waist. My cardio of choice was walking daily. I'm working

towards a 32" waist by including free weights and lifting heavy (I reached a plateau in July). Overall his book is a good solid read.

I give this book 5 stars due to the results. I'll keep the readers posted on my goal of a 32" waist.
