4.0 out of 5 stars Only need one of her books...., May 29, 2000

By A Customer

I just purchased The Goddess Diet, The Menopause Diet and The Menopause Diet: Mini Meal Cookbook. While Dr. Gillespie's message is important, clear and useful,(and I will be using her recommendations to help with my thyroid treatments) I was disconcerted to find out that these three books essentially were identical, down to some of the chapters---verbatim! I highly recommend getting only ONE of these books; either the Menopause Diet or Goddess Diet book (whichever is more appropriate for you), and skipping the Mini Meal Cookbook (85% of the recipes are in the previously mentioned books).

5.0 out of 5 stars No need to starve to lose weight!, December 28, 2000

By	"bttrscotchwiggle2" (Atlanta, GA) - See all my reviews

I purchased The Menopause Diet book for my mother and The Goddess Diet for myself and can't believe how different I feel after following the information in this book. I've already lost 14 pounds in 2 months...something impossible for a woman with hypothyroidism. I feel like a new person! My mother went to her doctor, changed the type of estrogen she was taking, and now has a normal cholesterol level and has lost her "Buddha Belly." She teases me that she can shop from my closet. Although both books contain a lot of the same information ( after all...some women are afraid of the word "menopause") just select the one that suites your age range or needs. If you are on hormone therapy, the chapter in The Menopause Diet is worth the book alone. Even my mother's family doctor read it and said it made a lot of sense. Now I not only feel but LOOK like a goddess, all by choosing foods that harmonize with my hormones. I finally got it....to lose weight you need to EAT, not skip meals...and just add a bit of exercise to your daily routine. THANK YOU for doing so much for women! I've ordered The Gladiator Diet for my boyfriend because he could stand to lose that "Buddha Belly". Who knew his enlarging waistline was increasing his risk for impotency and diabetes even at his age? I plan to keep him healthy like me by following the great information in Larrian's books.

5.0 out of 5 stars A new way to think about dieting!, January 11, 2000

By	Rose (New York) - See all my reviews

I have struggled with my weight and figure for my whole life. I've tried numerous low-fat diets with very little success. Then I read Larrian Gillespie's The Goddess Diet, and not only is she humorous and witty, but the new way to eat really works! I lost 10 lbs this month alone. And I don't feel the constant hunger and cravings I usually get when I'm on a diet. I feel better about my figure than I have in a long time. I highly recommend all women read this book, because it's especially designed for women, by a woman. I'm confident Larrian Gillespie's Goddess Diet with help me keep it off!
