4.0 out of 5 stars Strange but true July 5, 2012

By L. Morris

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

After having 40 years of my weight see-saw up and down, mainly up, I've been desperate for a diet book that might work. Most are complex with rigorous meal plans that are hard to cook, hard to follow and frankly boring.

Fulton's book is basically an adaption of the Atkin's Diet so I'm not surprised it drives the nutritionists to upset and anger. But there's more - some interesting suggestions of cold baths, black coffee, skipping breakfast - which seem weird but are well explained by scientific fact/observation as opposed to spiritualism that motives many diet books. He also advises appropriate times to take gentle exercise rather than run a hour on the treadmill.

I gave these ideas a whirl. The cold bath didn't really bother me but the black coffee, no sugar, revolted me on an empty stomach. But then after a stiff walk around the estate I felt a lightness and an energy I hadn't felt for a long time. However, I was ravenous after a couple of hours and couldn't concentrate until lunchtime. No snacking, the man says. However, after a few weeks I'm getting more used to it and my pants are a fair bit baggier.

His criticisms of certain fruits, carbohydrates and the muck the manufacturers put in food were well backed up by some science. I was interested to read that low fat products have sugar put in them to replace the fat and make them more palatable. So I threw out my low-fat yogurt and dinners. No wonder I was getting fatter instead.

Why I only give it 4 stars is that the diet can take over your life, and you might want to do something more interesting than take 30 minutes walking the roads before every meal, worthy though that is. Counting carbs is also a pain in the butt when you have to do a lot of travelling and entertaining. However, my lack of willpower is not Fulton's fault - if you are dead serious in losing weight it's one of the best diet books around, but I'm not certain how long I can stick at it.

5.0 out of 5 stars THANK YOU!!! July 10, 2012

By M. Parrish

Format:Hardcover

Finally, some common sense among the dieting madness out there! Everyone was telling me to eat breakfast when my body didn't want to. I gained weight. Everyone told me to eat 5 small meals a day. I gained weight. I made green veggie smoothies and felt my blood sugar go through the roof. I've done every diet under the sun, all claim to be "slow" and "safe" and make slow changes. Yeah, I gained weight doing that. It's not about calories in/calories out, that's a myth. This book teaches you to drastically change your metabolism. And with the fat epidemic raging across the nation, a drastic solution is needed. All that certified dietitians have done so far is make us fatter by telling us to EAT, EAT, EAT. Eat 5 times day. Eat upon waking. Eat when you're hungry. Eat wheat hulls as healthy whole grains. Sure, they'll rip up your intestines, but hey it's healthy WHOLE GRAINS!!

Noooo! This book is so excellent because it details the secrets of changing your metabolism using techniques perfected by the fittest people on earth. For people who think this book is scary and promotes a dangerous message, what about all those dietitians out there touting the insulin-destroying whole grains and high-carb diets as safe? That's just making us FATTER! Kudos for this author for taking the risk of ticking everyone off and telling the truth! :)

This book is fantastic. The tips and tricks it has through out are great and makes you realise just why you cant lose weight when you are trying so hard.
It points of the critical timing of exercising in the day, which i found most useful
It has information on how your body uses carbs, sugars and proteins which now that they make sense i can make better choices in my food and lose weight.
I felt amazing after a week and cant believe the difference and impact it has had on my life.
A great wake up call and i recommend this to anyone who is having trouble losing weight and wanting to give up.
