I read it as well and thought that deep down it was really just a rip off of other studies and advice, just done in a quirky (and sometimes downright crazy) way.
For example, his "diet" is really nothing more than a suggestion to cut carbs and "anything white," eat a few square meals a day and take a day off once a week to convince your body you are not on a diet. I've read that same advice hundreds of times before. Disappointing (not that I had high expectations going into it).
- yeahsure 16y agoSo what? I hadn't read that advice before. I found it on his blog and lost 20 pounds in a month. Following exactly his advice. I wouldn't call that a rip off.
- veidr 16y agoAt risk of echoing others, I too found his approach a bit different from stuff I had read, decided to try it, and lost a couple kilograms in the first week (started on Jan 1). I appreciate his hyper self-promotion, too, because otherwise I would have never heard of this book; it's the first diet book I have ever read.
- allwein 16y agoI had heard this advice many times before, but he added just one comment that completely made it for me. He advises to have just a few basic meals to choose from and then stick with those. Don't try to put variety in your diet at all or try and keep it interesting. It's that wandering eye that will cause you to go off diet. That simple change made it completely easy for me to stick to my diet because now I don't have to think at all. It's like I'm stuck on a starship and this is what the kitchen computer makes every day, and it doesn't matter if I want something else, because this is what the meal is.
