Sept.8,1978 A doctor told me to buy this book....by June 0f 1979 I had lost 97lbs. and couldn't loose any more!I only wanted two things to happen to me; for someone to tell me I didn't need to loose any more weight, and for someone not to recognize me. Both things happened! Its been over 19yrs and I am going to start the diet again, as I had three more babies and grew again. It works and I felt great!

This simple to follow diet is amazing in the results and feeling of well being. I highly recommend it. Please put the book back into print

This is one of the most magnificent diets ever. Easy to follow. I have lost 40 lbs on this book and have kept it off. After trying every diet this one is a life saver. A copy was lent to me by a family friend. I had to return the copy. Please reprint this wonderful book so that everyone who wants a copy can have one. No-one will have to worry about dieting again!

The diet is palletable, has a wide variety of foods, that change daily, (with the exception of breakfat) . The diet was highly recommended to me and I came back on line after one week and 8 pounds to purchase a copy for my sister. I recommend that you read the book in it's entirety however before beginning. I plan on using this long term.(3 months) as I wish to lose up to 60 pounds. What a Find!!!!

I went on this Diet w/ the normal attitude - It probably won't work! Wrong it did work and it worked fast, which is what I needed to see, to keep me on it. My first 2 weeks on the plan, I lost 20 lbs. Then the 2nd 2 wks. on again, I lost 12.5 lbs. The following 2 wks on, I lost less than the 12.5, But... atleast I was losing, and feeling better and better. I really got into the program. I had my son take pictures of me from before starting the diet, to all during my weight loss. I kept them in my own special photo album, and dated the front on each picture. It truly is amazing to see how fast the weight came off. (78 lbs.) There are of course days that you don't lose anything and boy was I disappointed on those days. But still it was fun to see the look on people's faces that hadn't seen me for say a month or two or esp. three! I too, have given out copies of the book. Mostly because People wanted MY book and I wasn't about to part with it. Now here's the truth ---> if you are prone to being overweight, you must forever watch what you eat. Don't think that once you lose the weight you want to, that your problem is over, it will NEVER be over. Once you start eating like you did before, the weight will come back ----> I KNOW!!! But if nothing else, this diet is a good starter to a healthier way of eating. Like others have said, it's easy to follow and the book has a questions and answers section that is very helpful.

I love this diet! I have 3 small children and no time to exercise. My mother gave me a copy of this book 12 years ago to remove weight that had piled on in Europe. It worked great and now that I am done breastfeeding my 3rd child, I plan on using this to get off the rest of my pregnancy weight, I have already lost 16 lbs. I find the menus to be simple to follow and easy to prepare. I grill all my meats so that they have a great flavour and lose the excess fat. I really love GOOD Food so I do have to discipline myself. This diet is great for you if you have little time for yourself and a spouse in grad school who's not about. Plus, I can feed it to my children with little complaint. Just add some homebaked Scarsdale Protein bread (which I made in my machine)or a potato with butter and they'll gobble up the rest. Also use good lettuce like romaine and fresh tomatoes. Dress up the salads with Balsamic vinegar and use pink grapefruits as opposed to plain. I have also noticed you can use cucumber slices as a snack as well. I snack on Veggies all day and still lose at least a pound a day! This diet is much better than Atkins.
