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!

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

Wonderful book. Best diet ever. So easy. So satisfying. So inspiring. Please consider reprinting. The protien diets are back in full force, and yours is the best. I lost 15 lbs in 2 week and felt so good, I went on 2 more weeks and lost a total of 25 lbs. I also lost my book somehow and have looked everywhere for a new one. PLEASE MAKE A COMEBACK!!

When I was a student ballerina in the 1970s, even a small weight gain could be devestating. The dumb ones practiced bulemia...the smart ones went on Stillman's. This diet was as much a part of our life as morning practice...and weigh-ins.

Dr. Stillman has produced a very readable and inspirational account of how he developed the diet and his patient's results. He also discusses the serious health effects that can develop through serious overweight.

There are other interim diets listed that one can use to take a break from the Stillman diet and still lose weight, then go back on Stillman's.

Dr. Stillman suggests you discuss this or any diet with your physician before trying it. He also cautions against drinking less than 80 oz. of water per day, smoking prior to 1 hour after meals, etc. Then explains, in layman's terms, why.

I wish this book would come back in print; it was very enjoyable and helped me to realize my dream of dancing, as well as counteracting those sleepy pasta Sundays at Nana's house. Be advised before you get this book that this is NOT a long term diet. This book means just what it says, it's Quick Weight Loss and a second (or third, or fourth) chance to get back to your normal weight before it's too late and stay there.

I saw this book at a thrift store and remembered using it incollege for quick weight loss. I picked it up for 25 cents andbelieve it was a terrific investment. Dr. Stillman's diet seems to make more sense than any of ther other high protein diets that are out there right now. The major difference seems to be that this diet allows a variety of vegetables and salad items and also an alcoholic beverage every day! Though breads are restricted, there is a recipe for a tasty, low fat, low carb bread (made with cottage cheese!) that satisfies a craving for muffins, rolls or cookies. I have experienced no hunger pangs on this diet and have lost a pound nearly every day since I began. The book is over 20 years old and it will be noticed in some of the anecdotes and observations Dr. Stillman recounts about about his patients. In addition, his recommendations on exercise seem very tame for today's exercise crazy world. He recommends stretching, deep breathing and walking in front of your TV set! I enjoyed this book and plan on passing my copy on to my mother after I lose 10 more pounds.
