1.0 out of 5 stars Not as expected, June 16, 2004
By Carol A. Sutton (Clifton Park, NY) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
You are constantly referred to his website www.lowcarboptions.com to obtain what brand names of vitamins, minerals, food, etc. that he recommends. Once you get there it is just 3 products and his own version of vitamins and minerals
; plus the expense of becoming a member, but for what? A few coupons on products he refuses to mention?

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed, October 28, 2004
When you take away the silly little stories about how grw up and take away the information that is on the Internet, all you have are horrible recipes and a sales pitch for his website and his bungee -the same thing you can buy anywhere for a few dollars.

Markham never explains how a chiropractor is qualified to be a diet expert - he claims he knows everything, but how credible is any of this?

There are books out there that are written by real doctors that are really trained in these things. Look at the Atkins books or South Beach. Or if you want philosophy, there is Dr. Phil.

I just can't find anything good to say about this book edxcept that it is short,

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally a healthy, balanced and complete approach, February 21, 2004
By aroura (Arlington, Virginia) - See all my reviews
I've had a weight problem since I was a kid and have looked at all the new books. Only Dr. Markham seems to have been adressing all of the wellness issues for years. Most of the books are written by people with no real background or experience at all, never having dealth with real overweight patients, just jumping on the diet book craze to make some fast money whether they really knew anything about exercise and diet. Some writers had one or another, some had none, but only Dr. Markham seems to have done it all.

This is the first book I've seen that really covers everything. I only started on the program a week and a half ago, but I've lost 4 pounds easily. The exercise plan looks easy enough. I haven't seen Dr. Markam's bungee unit in any local store so I guess I'll order it from his site, Cheap enough and I don't have to drive in lousy winter weather to a gym.

The only thing that I would change is some more recipes. But since he has a bunch of easy looking ones on his website I'll still give the book 5 stars.

First, let me start by saying that almost anything is better than Atkins. Atkins is dangerous! Second, let me say that there isn't a diet out there that isn't flawed in some way... Read more

This book is a poor attempt to use the good Atkins name to appear to be related with a true diet genius. Read more

South Beach helped me the most. The Atkins books give a tremendous amount of information. Dr. Phil provides good insights. Stick with any of these and you can't go wrong.
