THe I Can Do IT Diet
The book was a disappointment. It gives lots of information on the glycemic index and how sugars affect the body. None of that was new material. The last 1/4 of the book is made up of questionnaires so that the reader can figure out if they are depressed, stressed, binge eaters etc. They are not in depth and not useful. I was hoping for a daily plan, recipes etc...

Not For Quitters, February 8, 2010
This review is from: I Can Do This Diet (Hardcover)
I got this book, and followed it, mostly. If you do go on it, it's for life. It's a healthy way of eating, no sugar, white flour, pop, etc. Also, you need to eat a big breakfast, and only green carbs after 6pm. I'm glad I bought the book, my Mom is reading it now, she's 76. We heard about it on TBN, the John Hagee show.

A practical guidebook!, January 5, 2010
This review is from: I Can Do This Diet (Hardcover)
After reading this book, it's interesting to know that very few dieters managed to lose weight and keep it off for good for the past years.
Dr. Colbert's diet is different because he puts together all of the factors that affect our weight and most importantly he has a practical plan for it and there is an interactive online survey to help dieter target roadblocks. This is an instruction manual, a practical guidebook, for permanent weight loss and for dietary lifestyle.
Also, this book help us to change our eating lifestyle. It also guides us to conquer food cravings. These are very important!
This is a good book for everybody to read and learn.

Excellent on CD and book, Medical approach that lasts, February 8, 2010
This book is very comprehensive, I also have the eight CDs and like to listen to the whole thing and then zoom in on areas that are a concern to me. Basically, this book focuses on how your blood sugar and digestive processes work. There are certain factors that will cause you to either BE ABLE to burn and assimilate the nutrients, or will NOT ALLOW you to burn but will rather store the calories as fats. Of course, what you drink also matters, as well as when. So it is about metabolism, glycemic index and loads, portions, not being hungry because you do not eat and drink in a way that drives your blood sugar to an elevated level causing insulin to store what you have eaten in fat cells, rather than burning it. Dr. Colbert has a single CD called "The Bible Cure for Weight Loss," if you like to quickly get to the point you could listen to that and then use this book and CD for the full picture. It covers the essentials on what things will cause you to store fat, and what will cause you to burn, and shock you with some common habits that will sabotage your weight loss. It is wonderful, and so is this set. Dr. Colbert's "I Can Do This Diet," has an 8 CD set. It is good to sit back and take it all in, and allow it to work on your mind and emotions so you can get ready to adjust.

Great Book! Great Diet!, January 8, 2010
This review is from: I Can Do This Diet (Hardcover)
My whole family is trying to find a diet that works for us. I like the I Can Do This Diet because its comprehensive information on what to eat, why to eat it, and what time of day to eat it. He gave us a regiment that I can definitely follow. My wife and I have been on the diet for 7 days and I have lost 3 pounds, and she has lost 4. Pretty amazing if you ask me.

Finally a diet for the real world., March 26, 2010
This review is from: I Can Do This Diet (Hardcover)
As someone that has struggled with her weight since my second pregnancy (and on down through this current, 7th pregnancy) I have bought and read a lot of books on dieting. I have tried a lot of diets. I have succeeded on some and failed on others. I have gleaned a lot out of some books and gained nothing but weight by reading others. Sometimes it feels like I'm stuck on a merry-go-round of dieting and diet books. I think I have finally found a way to get off the ride.
The "I Can Do This" Diet is the most helpful and resourceful diet book I have read. It is packed full of good information in easy to understand form that will actually make a difference in your health. The book is broken down into 4 sections. The 1st one is on Understanding Weight Gain and Weight Loss. The beauty of this section is that so many people are obsessed with getting the weight off, but they never stop to evaluate how they have been putting it on. This section takes a lot of different things that I have heard here and there and puts it all together (metabolism, glycemic index, carbs, protein, bad fats & good fats, beverages, portion sizes, etc...). This book is valuable if all you ever do is read the first section.
The 2nd section is getting you ready to begin this particular program (or lifestyle change). And then section 3 breaks down the actual diet. Section 4 is What to do When Weight Loss Stalls and it has a lot of different quizzes that can help you figure out where your body may be letting you down. It's all good stuff, but I want to focus on the diet itself for a moment...
What I am excited about with this program is that it is very balanced, smart, healthy and easy. Some basic principles are... well, I would go into it but then you wouldn't need to read the book. Suffice it to say that after this baby is born I will be adapting this plan into my lifestyle. In the meantime I will be implementing small changes to start making a difference. I am very impressed by what I have read.

A definitely "doable" program, March 24, 2010
This review is from: I Can Do This Diet (Hardcover)
This book is packed with good ideas and information that everyone should have without the usual diet-book delve into scientific jargon that one just skips over. Although there are the usual chapters on carbohydrates, proteins, and fats Dr. Colbert has talked less about the chemical makeup of the food type and more about how it works and what is good and bad about it. The chapters are short so if you feel you need to absorb the information before continuing on there is no overwhelming feeling of having to finish a 100 pages first. I found it interesting that he differentiates between glycemic index and glycemic load. His program is low glycemic load with the carb:protein:fat ratio of 40:30:30. Yes you can have carbs - low glycemic carbs. I think that is one of the things that makes this diet doable, there are no really "forbidden" foods other than junk foods. Also he has you eating every 3-3 1/2hours with a calorie range of about 1800 for women which is higher than most diets. He considers anything below your BMR to be putting your body into starvation mode which of course means you plateau out quickly and then gain again, a common problem with many low calorie diets. Although he seems to focus on organic vegetables and meats he does include many brand name suggestions. He also includes a section on bible verses that promote healthy eating and positive actions and thoughts though this is not a bible-study program. Well written, lots of information that is easily readable and food that is available for everyone.

THe I Can Do IT Diet, March 30, 2010
This review is from: I Can Do This Diet (Hardcover)
The book was a disappointment. It gives lots of information on the glycemic index and how sugars affect the body. None of that was new material. The last 1/4 of the book is made up of questionnaires so that the reader can figure out if they are depressed, stressed, binge eaters etc. They are not in depth and not useful. I was hoping for a daily plan, recipes etc. There are very few and they recommend products such as fiber pills that the reader can purchase from a place in Florida. Is this just a commercial parading as a help book?.

Weight Problem? Do This And Live!, March 5, 2010
This review is from: I Can Do This Diet (Hardcover)
The title of Dr. Colbert's book is self explanatory. If you have a weight problem or have a fast food eating style and you want a change for the better, buy the book and get started. Dr. Colbert is a very good doctor with a proven, successful pattern of helping people to make positive lifestyle changes to their health.
