This book could be summed up in one paragraph. Eat fewer than 15 gms. of sugar. Eat protein (and fat). Eat six servings of carbs. Eat fiber. Will it work? Yes. Do you need to spend $20 to know this? No way. Most of the products (or equivalents) are not too tough to find. I started purchasing the Almond Breeze milk a few months ago and found that it's not too much more...

This review is from: The Belly Fat Cure: Discover the New Carb Swap System and Lose 4 to 9 lbs. Every Week (Spiral-bound)
Please, before you judge or listen to the negative reviews let me say something. I started working this plan when very little information was available about it May of 2009. I did it when there was no book and only limited information available via the internet. Basically I took the 15 sugar 6 carb idea from Jorge and ran with it. So far I have lost 60 lbs on the Belly Fat Cure and I plan to lose 30 more to reach my goal. Those people writing negative reviews just want to open a book and have the weight fall off their bodies. You have to take control and want this for yourself. Read the book for insight and understanding and not just to be led around like a puppet.

Second, I live in a rural area with no Whole Foods Market or anything around and have to travel far for a health food store or order online to get some of the items that are in book. But not all of them. Jorge just gives the healthiest options, but you can make substitutions. If something is not available in your area, use something else. Most of us don't know that these healthier products exist. We let the mainstream dictate what we are putting in our bodies and feeding to our children. What we should be doing instead of attacking Jorge is to demand that these healthier options be made more readily available to us in our local markets. A lot of what he proposes include no artificial sweetners because of their alleged negative affects. If this isn't a concern of yours then make a substitution that includes artificial sweetners. I'm sure Jorge wouldn't advocate this but I have to admit that I do use some of the products that are on his Belly Bad List. I make the food and the plan work for me. For instance, Jorge doesn't like sugar free puddings that you can buy on the shelf because of the artificial sweetners. I try to avoid the artificial sweetners as much as I can but if I want a chocolate pudding then I'll have one. No biggie. Personal choice, hello?

I do not have a ton of money and was actually unemployed when I started this way of eating last summer. Yes, I think of it as a way of eating - not a diet. This is how I live now. So to those who claim its expensive that's not true. It doesn't have to be. The recipes in the book are simple and great tasting. They include normal foods that you probably already eat now. Its just about making it in a healthier way and making better choices. Things you would never think you could eat while losing weight. You do not feel deprived at all. It really is a mindset change more than anything.

I'm shocked and amazed at the people who complain about it being full of recipes, menu plans, and product evaluations?? Really this has me baffled. Isn't that what we all need anyway - the meat and potatoes of the thing? While Jorge explains an overview of the science behind why the plan works, do you really want a book full of technical jargon and trials and studies? If you google Jorge Cruise or take a look at some of his Youtube videos....he has interviews on there with experts that explain more indepth about the dangers of sugar. This is serious business, folks. Check them out.

I really hope that people will try this way of eating and don't judge the book based on the negative reviews. Its a shame because I know that I rely heavily on amazon reviews for nearly everything but this is one instance where I can truly say the negative reviewers have it all wrong.

Thank you, Jorge, for your passion for health and bringing awareness to this nation. The book and your wisdom have been a blessing to me and my family.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Belly Fat Cure Has Helped Me Lose 74lbs So Far, January 4, 2010
By Ryan Cameron (San Diego, California USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Belly Fat Cure: Discover the New Carb Swap System and Lose 4 to 9 lbs. Every Week (Spiral-bound)
I was introduced to the Belly Fat Cure in March as a result of an article in Costco's Costco Connection magazine and applied to be his coaching class for Costco members. I had been selected to take part in the program and during the course of the 11 weeks of coaching, was able to shed 47 pounds and 10 inches off my belly. I religiously followed the program during the coaching and tracked every meal making sure that no meals exceeded the recommended 5 grams of sugar and 2 carb servings. I was also taking probiotics and psyllium husks three times a day. The pounds literally were just melting right off of me.

I also want to note that I had started a running program in December of 2008 and by the time I started the Belly Fat Cure program, I had gone from not being able to run much of one mile to running three miles the whole way and was running 5 to 6 days a week. The running didn't result in any weight loss at all for me, just increased endurance. Once I added the Belly Fat Cure program, I started seeing weight loss.

Like Corrie Hearn's review, the book as it exists now wasn't available, we just got the core information about not exceeding 15 grams of sugar and 6 carb servings per day. We were taught how to read nutrition labels (that information is in the book) and given some key suggestions. We definitely did not the recipes and for that matter initially the food list. We did get that a few weeks in as an Excel spreadsheet. So essentially we had to "figure it out." It took a little trial and error but I started losing weight right away and inches. Some weeks I lost more than others, some I plateaued but stuck with it and it started falling off again.

What struck me as most beneficial about the program is that I had no idea how much sugar I had been consuming prior to the program. Even though there I was having a lot of "low fat" items those foods were actually loaded in sugar. The first week was a little rough getting used to dramatically less sugar. I probably went through about 15-20 packets of Truvia that first week to replace some of the sugar. I swapped out Iced Tea for sodas until I tried the Caramel Vanilla tea in the line of Lipton teas Jorge has recommended. I thought that tea was so disgusting it got me right off iced teas too and I've been more of an avid water and Zevia drinker ever since.

Within the first two weeks my appetite dropped considerably and the size of meals I used to eat all of and would still be looking for more food to eat right afterwards were becoming ones I couldn't finish and I was feeling full for a few hours instead of maybe an hour. This really hit home for me when I went out for dinner with a friend, my friend had an appetizer, a full entree with side items, and a dessert. I just opted to have loaded baked potato and I couldn't even finish it. In all fairness my friend didn't eat all of his meal either, but he had considerably more than I had and I know I would have had similar amounts prior to the program.

Following the coaching, I pretty much had a routine for my first couple of meals for the day so I stopped tracking every meal and then periodically would allow myself have a meal or two per week that might have slightly more sugar than 5 grams or maybe a meal with 3 carb servings. I even cut back on the psyllium husks and probiotics to once per day then to only 3-4 times per week. I also got so burned out on the running program I had been doing and quit it entirely. I haven't been back to any of the running in nearly six months now. But I've still lost weight with the Belly Fat Cure program despite stopping the running. Albeit, the rate at which I was losing weight has slowed considerably too. Since mid July, I've only lost another twenty seven pounds. I'm fine with that. I'm sure if I step back up to the three times daily probiotics/psyllium husks, the vigilant meal tracking, and the running I'd be getting back to the faster rate of weight loss.

I want to add a couple of comments to address some of the concerns of others here that have given the book poor ratings. Those comments are:

** Food is too expensive, too hard to find items in the book **
It can be if you let it. I don't use very many of the products myself. I just read the nutrition labels in the stores, whether its my local supermarket or a natural foods store, or even a 7-Eleven. I can find something to eat just about everywhere, it just takes a little time to pay attention to the labels. Maybe this is because the recommended foods list didn't exist at the time I started the program, so I just naturally gravitate towards reading labels in the store.

What's featured in the book is to just give you ideas of what to look for. They don't have to be those specific brands as featured in the book. They're just there to illustrate that there's a variety of products out there that you can have. And sure, maybe Zevia is the only recommended soda in the book, but that's because it's the only one on the market made with all natural ingredients and doesn't have the toxic artificial sweeteners found in other sodas. I was personally amazed by how great tasting it was, their Root Beer flavor especially reminds me of how A&W Root Beer used to taste to me when I was a kid but doesn't any longer because it's now made with High Fructose Corn Syrup. And the good part is Zevia's Root Beer is not bad for you.

Another example is the Ezekiel breads that Jorge recommends. I've never tried it. I don't use enough breads at home to justify buying a loaf of any kind of because I usually have to throw out more bread than I use, so I just don't buy it. I also don't use the Whey powders because I think they're expensive. About the only expensive product I do regularly buy is 5-lb bags of Zylitol and I get those here on Amazon because the bigger bag costs less than buying 3 1-lb bags in local stores (which are the largest I can find locally) so it's like getting 2 lbs for free.

** Not a lifestyle, unrealistic to cut out fruits **
You don't have to completely eliminate fruits, you just choose ones like blackberries and blueberries which are low in sugar. The key is to drop sugar so that you can lose weight. Once you do lose the weight you want to lose, then you can add it back in if you like. Just go in moderation. You don't have to completely ban it from your life. If you're willing to have a smaller portion of a high sugar item you can have anything you want.

For example, if what you really want is a banana, assume the banana is 20 grams of sugar. Cut a banana into quarters and you can have a quarter of the banana with four separate meals, maybe add it to your sugar free cereal for breakfast or with a breast of chicken for lunch and then you do it again the next day with the other two quarters. You still get your banana and are compliant with the program. I did this with a tube of imported Smarties Chocolates from Europe (kind of like a plain M&M). In the past that tube wouldn't have lasted a day, but when I only had no more than five or six little pieces a day, that tube lasted me about 3 months. And really it satisfied me because I was happy with just a little taste of it.

** Recipes Too Difficult **
I've had a draft version of the book since July and that older draft version has about 95% of the recipes that's in the final version of the book. And I've still only ever made one recipe from the book. That recipe is the home made sugar free ice cream recipe. I'm not a cook nor will I pretend to be one.

While the recipe section of the book is the least useful to me, I still appreciate having it because it's got a wealth of ideas that I could try if I was feeling up to cooking. The bulk of my meals I've done on this program have come from restaurants and a significant number of them have been from fast food, which brings me to the next complaint...

** Not Fast Food Friendly **
On the contrary, I find this program is very complimentary to fast food as that's mostly what I've eaten. I am a single guy who doesn't cook, so drive-thrus tend to be where I get a lot of meals. I want quick, simple, and cheap and all of it is possible with this program. The trick is CUSTOMIZING. For example, if I'm getting a burger, I find out what sauces a restaurant puts on their burgers, and then ask them not to use them. The sugar free sauces you can have are mustard, and mayonnaise so I'll often ask to have that used instead of ketchup, barbeque, or "special" sauces. Then I'll ask to have my burger wrapped in lettuce. This lets me use my 6 carb servings per day on other foods. And KFC's Grilled Chicken is fantastic on this program and its delicious too.

** French Fries And Bacon Are Not Healthy **
I wouldn't necessary call these items the healthiest either, but they are low sugar options. What people seem to be forgetting here is that if you're overweight the chances are pretty good you're not eating the healthy, all natural foods that people are complaining this program is not advocating enough of.

If all you eat are highly processed packaged foods, fast foods, restaurant meals, and/or things that come in boxes with nutrition labels, then this program is going to show you that you can still do the same thing, but with some education, you'll learn to make better choices and use many of the same foods to actually lose weight instead of gain weight.

This makes the program very simple to follow and easy to incorporate into your life and make it a lifestyle. The easiest changes to make are small changes. Once you've made one small change, you can build on it by making another one. You don't go from a lifetime of McDonald's value meals to homemade Vegan meals overnight without it being a complete shock to the system. Sure the Vegan meal might be the better choice, but its a completely foreign concept to the Big Mac fan. This is just a first step to better eating, and seeing results is going to help motivate further changes where maybe the fries and bacon get left behind in favor of better food choices. The changes have to start somewhere and picking fries and bacon over a Jamba Juice smoothie is only a first step. The goal here is to kick the sugar habit and drop some pounds, once that's been achieved, then we can worry about making better food choices.

4.0 out of 5 stars It Can Help with Your New Year's Resolution, December 29, 2009
This review is from: The Belly Fat Cure: Discover the New Carb Swap System and Lose 4 to 9 lbs. Every Week (Spiral-bound)
In spite of the big promotion the book was not available at my bookstore and I had to drive 20 minutes to another shop to get it.

On the first page of the book Karen Diega Sutton claims to have lost 13 pounds within 7 days (!!???). I didn't know who Karen is but her claim made me very uneasy if not suspicious. Is that even physically possible? Is that yet another lose-13-pounds-within-7-days book? Did I make a fool of myself driving 20 minutes to pay for another unrealistic hype?

I relaxed when further in the book the author explained that for each 4 to 9 pounds of weight lost in a week only 2 to 3 pounds is from the belly fat. The remaining loss results from losing the build up waste in the intestines, or "false belly fat" as the author calls it. "The fiber in good carbs is critical for removing this kind of waste from your body." -- OK, that sounds not only probable but also encouraging as it means cleansing up your intestines which obviously results in a better health. I've read a lot about that in the book titled "Live 150 Years". The author of that book devotes a few chapters to internal hygiene, "autotoxication", and body cleansing. In fact he claims that what is going on in our large intestine has a major impact on our health and is often the main cause of obesity... Jorge Cruise does not mention this book but to support his point he uses the authority of Dr. Oz , the author of well know series of YOU books...

The book release at the end of the year makes a lot of sense as it will reach the readers just on time for New Year's resolutions. Especially that the author points out that losing belly fat is the most important step to feeling good and looking attractive. He is not the first one to discover that setting goals is the best way to achieving anything but I find his insisting on setting long term goals very useful for achieving healthy waste circumference.

As I was reading this book I was finding it more any more realistic and my initial disappointment faded away. For now I can say that The Belly Fat Cure has its merit and I think that it was worth driving 20 minutes to get it. Jorge Cruise provided a lot of useful information with a lot of recipes for healthy meals and beverages. What I don't like about this book is the fact that Jorge provided in his recipes a plethora of brand name products not easily available at the market. One has to make extra effort to find them in specially health food stores or mail-order them which is rather impractical in case of groceries.

The other limitation is the author's focus on carbohydrates. He almost neglected such things like proper food combination, body cleansing, and some other factors crucial to fighting obesity that are so well explained in the book Live 150 Years that I have already mentioned (i.e. Bad Habits that Lead People to Obesity). The other good reading that I suggest is Flat Belly Diet. Consequently The Belly Fat Cure is a good source of information but ONLY as addition to the other books mentioned above. Happy New Year's Resolutions!

5.0 out of 5 stars Attention Sugar Addicts!, January 3, 2010
This review is from: The Belly Fat Cure: Discover the New Carb Swap System and Lose 4 to 9 lbs. Every Week (Spiral-bound)
I found this book easy to read and the BFC 'lifestyle' even simpler to adapt to. The foods I eat can be found anywhere! Breakfast:Cheerios & Almond milk; Snack:string cheese; Lunch:Lean Cuisine Roast Turkey and Vegetables; Snack: Better Cheddars; Dinner: A salad made with turkey deli meat, avocado, lettuce, and Newmans Caesar dressing. If I want sugar in my cereal I add Truvia which is sold at 3 of my local grocers. If I want coffee, I order it with heavy cream and add a packet of Truvia. 'Legal' sugars are Stevia, Truvia or erythritol, and Xylitol. Weight Watchers worked for me for a while- but I craved sugar all the time!! The South Beach induction phase was too strict for me. The book offers 'Carb Swap' meals and Jorge's site offers alternatives if you're dining out. I occasionally hit McDonald's and I order an Angus burger no bun and a small fry. I no longer crave sugar and can easily satify my sweet tooth with Sugar free York peppermint patties or Sugar free Hershey squares. I love The Belly Fat Cure!

4.0 out of 5 stars Simple, effective and healthy, February 18, 2010
By S. M. A. (Miami, Florida) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Belly Fat Cure: Discover the New Carb Swap System and Lose 4 to 9 lbs. Every Week (Spiral-bound)
This is the first book I ever buy in my 40 years of life that has to do with a diet plan. I bought the book because it zeroes in on an important concept that other diet programs completely ignore. One of the premises of the diet is that insulin is a fat pusher, and that if you can eat foods that do not cause you to produce insulin, you will not gain weight and in fact you will lose weight. Ok, so that fits well into the reason why I decided this would be probably the only book I would ever look into regarding diets. Because recently, I was diagnosed with Diabetes. And insulin production and keeping my glucose levels down is really important to me now.

Admittedly, I don't give this book a 5 star rating simply because it is "regionalized". Meaning, it shows you brands that may not even exist where you live. As is the case with me, since I cannot find all the brands of food shown in the book. However, I will not side with the other reviewers who simply say the book doesn't work because they can't buy the brands, or the brands are too expensive. All you have to do is go to a search engine on the internet, and type.... "brand name + nutrition" and guess what? The nutritional label of the product you are looking for can be located in less than a minute that way. All you have to do now, is walk to your local store and find a similar product that will meet the same nutritional information, and meets your budget as well. So, I don't care that I cannot find the same exact brand of tortillas in the book... when I've actually already found even better ones, based on the fiber, carb and sugar criteria of the book. There, that solves that argument for me.

Now, as far as my glucose levels, I've been finally able to attain superb control of my sugar. I wake up with an amazingly low 91, and I spike to about 120 when I eat carbs. And what is really helpful is that this book is a collection of recipes, complete with portions and preparations. Because the other big deal about being on a diet, and yet another reason people tend to fail, is because the minute you go on a diet, people tend to exaggerate their portions. People tend to assume that because a certain product is labeled "fat free" or "diet" they can over-indulge in that product. And that will only have negative consequences. So, the big deal about this book is that it actually teaches you what the right portions are so you don't over indulge.

Finally, the question that everyone wants answered regarding the diet itself is... "Do you lose weight?".

The short version of the answer is .. Yes, you do lose weight. I lost 21 lbs in 4 weeks. But I have to also let you know that I pick one meal a week in which I cheat, and I eat whatever I want to eat. Normally I eat my cheat meal on Friday nights, when I am most likely to go out and have fun. I try not to ignore that I should not consume sugar past the daily limit, but I do give myself whatever portion size I want to give myself. I've eaten as much as a whole large pizza during my once-a-week eat-whatever-I-want meal. But I don't only credit the diet with my weight loss success. I also exercise as follows: I walk 2.5 miles in the morning, no jogging, no exhaustion, no heavy breathing. Just walk. And at night I either play basketball for 20 minutes or I bike a 6 mile path at moderate speed. Just enough to make me break a sweat without getting exhausted. And I exercise 5 days a week.

I am going to give the book a 4 star review mainly because it certainly delivers on keeping my glucose very low ( something extremely important to me since I am a diabetic ), and because it re-trains your brain into understanding what a correct meal portion is, as opposed to what you get when you sit down in a restaurant and they bring you a 16 Oz steak with a bucket of rice and a truckload of french fries. That is NOT a portion, that is more like 5 portions. And learning what a correct portion is, is half the battle in the weight loss fight. Learning your portions is as critical as learning what the good foods are. And this book delivers on both counts, the portion sizes, and keeping your blood glucose low.

Nay sayers... they stop where they can't find the same exact brands of course. And I agree with them to some extent. This book is "regionalized". You will probably not be able to find all the brands in your local supermarket. But if you really want to achieve something in your life, you usually push until you get it. And it only takes 20 seconds on an internet search engine to find the food labels of any brand found in this book. Take that information to your supermarket, and find a comparable product, and make the substitution yourself.

5.0 out of 5 stars Create a spreadsheet, January 12, 2010
By DTSMA68 (Tampa Bay area) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Belly Fat Cure: Discover the New Carb Swap System and Lose 4 to 9 lbs. Every Week (Spiral-bound)
I went through the entire book and created a spreadsheet of all the items not necessarily found in your local grocery store. Next, I went to all their websites and got the nutritional facts, i.e., carbs, sugars, protein, calories, and fiber. Also, the product website will give you stores where you can buy their product and I listed those stores in my spreadsheet. I printed it out and when to several local grocery and health stores and either bought alternatives or wrote them down for next time. Instead of using Rudi's muffin, I am using Thomas Better Start muffin. It has less sugar. Instead of using Seeds of Change pasta sauce, I am using Gia pasta sauce. It has 1 gram of sugar. I'm not mailing off for things because the shipping costs more. I might have to use preserves that have Splenda instead of Xylitol, but I'm not going to eat it everyday. The lifestlye can work.

2.0 out of 5 stars Two rules, January 1, 2010
This review is from: The Belly Fat Cure: Discover the New Carb Swap System and Lose 4 to 9 lbs. Every Week (Spiral-bound)
This book could be summed up in one paragraph. Eat fewer than 15 gms. of sugar. Eat protein (and fat). Eat six servings of carbs. Eat fiber. Will it work? Yes. Do you need to spend $20 to know this? No way. Most of the products (or equivalents) are not too tough to find. I started purchasing the Almond Breeze milk a few months ago and found that it's not too much more than regular milk. It's a little more, but I end up saving money on it because it doesn't spoil as quickly as skim milk so I haven't thrown any out. To the reviewer to wasn't happy about eating "religious" bread...you don't have to go to Mars for it. (or spend $5 to have it shipped.) If you have access to a decent health food store, you can find the Ezekiel 9 bread. And talk with your local grocer. Often they are willing to order products. At least that has been my experience. The Belly Fat program seems to leave room for substitutions. I know I have been successful when I've limited my sugar intake--sugar is very addictive for me. Overall, the program makes sense. I like the fact that Cruise stresses not dieting and making smart choices a life style. That's great counsel regardless. Exercise should be a lifestyle. So should drinking enough water, getting enough sleep, and living a balanced life. I'm embarassed to think I need to buy a book to tell me that.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Useful "Cure" for a Major Epidemic, January 12, 2010
This review is from: The Belly Fat Cure: Discover the New Carb Swap System and Lose 4 to 9 lbs. Every Week (Spiral-bound)
While obesity isn't a disease it is certainly an epidemic that contributes to disease, and losing belly fat is one of the best things you can do for your health and appearance. Celebrity wellness trainer Jorge Cruise has come up with a relatively easy way to lose the fat and keep it off. It is not a diet, but rather an education in a way of eating for life that minimizes sugar and refined carbohydrates through a carb swap system. The emphasis is on good quality protein, healthy fats and vegetables with a small amount of complex carbs.
He goes into just enough science to let you understand the vital importance of making changes in how you eat and drink. The program trains you to read labels and reject the overwhelming majority of processed food that is laced with sweeteners like high fructose corn syrup or aspartame. That means most soda is out and water is in; wine is good, mixed drinks no; dark chocolate is fine, nix on the candy bars.

Jorge tailors the approach to a modern lifestyle that includes fast and slow food restaurants, and minimum time or inclination to cook. He shows how healthy and tasty dishes can be prepared from scratch from fresh wholesome ingredients in 15 minutes or less. Most of the book contains recipes showing the healthy equivalent or alternatives for dozens of fast food restaurant dishes and supermarket items.

While the book says it is "For People Too Tired to Diet or Exercise", Jorge does suggest walking and some toning exercises in the last chapter, but they are optional and not necessary for weight loss. I hope this book does become a bestseller, because it's a useful and practical guide to a healthy eating lifestyle for the whole family.

There is an excellent blog about the Jorge Cruise Belly Fat Cure Carb Swapping System. I don't think Amazon allows links to other sites, but Google "Me and Jorge". It has lots of information that is a good companion to this book. Just in case it works it is meandjorge <dot> blogspot <dot> com. You have to replace the <dot> with "."

5.0 out of 5 stars the Program makes you feel energized!, January 5, 2010
This review is from: The Belly Fat Cure: Discover the New Carb Swap System and Lose 4 to 9 lbs. Every Week (Spiral-bound)
The program of the Belly Fat Cure will make you feel better and kick up your energy a notch! I started with Jorge's program and loved it! There are some great simple ways to change you eating habits that are delicious and so good for you! When I started on the plan I was using coffee too keep my engery levels up after being on the program I had so much bounce in my step I couldn't wait to go for a walk, run, dance class or just run around chasing my kids. As with any program it is eating and exercise that makes it work, some plans I have tried just make me lethargic and I can't even think of exercising... Jorge's was the opposite with each meal I felt better and better and now exercise is part of my day and not a chore (even if it is playing chase with my kids it is exercise!) and I have the energy to do it.
