5.0 out of 5 stars The book makes sense....guidelines are easy to follow, July 7, 1999

By A Customer

This is a common sense book. It's easy to follow, no measuring, counting calories. No eliminating breads like some other diets. I love my pasta and my bread. You can eat this all you want. I lost 10 pounds the first week. Basic concept: no meat, no dairy (except skim milk)

5.0 out of 5 stars Revolutionized my life, November 19, 1999

By	Toni Katcherian (california) - See all my reviews

This book has drastically changed my life. I was suferring from migraine headaches and just by learning about the common trigger foods versus the safe foods helped me for life! I used to have a migraine headache almost every week, but since I have eliminated from my life Chocolate, Dairy products, Red meats COMPLETELY, as well as many more from the common trigger foods, I've lost 20 lbs, took vitamins, and have never, ever felt better! Thanks so much Dr. Barnard. I am a big advocate of this book for anyone who experiences physical pain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Because of this book, I lost 55 lbs!, December 24, 2001

By	Rolf Juario (Los Angeles, CA) - See all my reviews

I accidently found this book at the local library. In 5 months of following the book's guidelines, I lost 55 lbs!
I've tried just about every diet imaginable and this seems to be the only thing that works. I thought it was going to be a major sacrifice, but when you lose weight this quick, you realize that it really isn't and that it's worth it!
Everyone should read this book, even if you're not overweight. You'll look AND feel better!
