Well written, well researched, but not what it purports to be, nor what many consumers think they are buying. This book is simply an endoresement of Barry Sears "The Zone" diet, which the auther himself wholeheartedly supports. He even confirms that The Zone is how he lost and maintains his weight. If you want a book that does no more than describe why The Zone works, buy this one. But if you want a plan to meet your goals, look elsewhere.

The world of how to eat, what to eat, and when to eat it is clarified by Mr.Heinrich. Knowledge is power and that includes the "why" of what we do. This book is clear and straight forard, an easy roadmap of what to do. We appreciate the clarity. There is information overload on this topic. Thanks for the light!

An easy to read book that quickly summarizes the theory and past leadership theories of nutrition and benefits of healthy eating. Has backup data and simple conceps to follow for a healthy diet. The diet is relatively easy to follow, compared to other diets and uses many concepts of leading diets

Mr. Heinrich does a truly superb job of offering unique insights into diet-related issues and why common suggested diet approaches may not work for everyone. His prescriptions are grounded in solid research and practice. This is a must read for those who are frustrated with the battle of the bulge.

An excellent analysis of the theory behind effective weight management. Mr Heinrich unscores the need for an ongoing commitment to healthy eating. His approach is refreshing. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a way to understand weight management and nutrition.

Mr. Heinrich wrote a book based on his years of trying different diets and has distilled the essence of them (if you will) into something that is understandable and sensible. Fad diets last as long as most fads; Mr. Heinrich's book gives you guidelines you can follow for the rest of your life. If you are going to have one diet book, this is it. I highly recommend it!

Interesting, thorough and makes sense

This is a carefully documented approach to instilling a devilishly attractive dietary regimine in everyone concerned about weight maintenence.

For those lucky people who eat as much and whatever they want and gain no weight - Starch Madness is not for them. However for those us who cannot seem to lose weight no matter how little we eat or how much we diet - READ THIS BOOK.

Very important information put in a concise format showing why the average american diet as well as the government recommended diet are the cause of obesity and disease. The book should be reviewed regularly to help combat the wrong information that we are bombarded with from our doctors, the media, friends and family. Hopefully this is one more step towards a major change in this country.
