This review is from: Woman Doctor's Diet for Women (Mass Market Paperback)

Twenty years ago I read it and understood how women can and can't lose weight. I lost 40 pounds in four months and felt good, but I lost my copy and need to do it again. Is there any new information, Dr. Edelstein?

This review is from: Woman Doctor's Diet for Women (Mass Market Paperback)

I used this diet to help with my high blood pressure. I lost 40 pounds in 4 months and I felt wonderful. The first two weeks were hard, but after that, it was wonderful. I am getting ready to read the book and go on the diet again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Easy Diet, September 16, 1998

This review is from: Woman Doctor's Diet for Women (Mass Market Paperback)

I have used this diet a couple of times since the 70's, and have lost up to 30-40 lbs in 3 months on it. Now it has been 10 years, and I have lost my copy of the book, just when I need it again. Actually I probably loaned it to someone.
