simple process for loosing weight while not suffering hunger. We're both very athletic and found the first week tough, but what's 7 days? The weight loose is significant, and makes good sense.
What Do You Have to Lose? ;)
Rating:
This is our third week in working this program. Having read all the other reviews, I will have to agree with the few who said the book was a little hard to navigate when you get to the meal planning section. However, with a little detective work on your part, you can figure it out and move forward with this program. The question is--How badly do you want to lose weight?
As an over 40-Year-Old woman and now fighting hormones, I have been struggling to lose weight for over 20 years. I was at the end of my rope. I stumbled across an article in "First" Magazine and remembered the name of the book to order from the library. When I received it, I read the first couple chapters on how your body works and why I wasn't losing weight. I figured out I was eating over 100 carbs per day! I was definitely a carb addict and fighting hormones. I immediately bought the book from Amazon so I could make notes if necessary.
Here's how I suggest you make the book work for you. Read the beginning of the book so you understand how your body processes the foods you eat. This is scientific--but Wendy Chant makes it very simple, fun, and interesting. Then do this:
1) Copy the menu plans for the 7-day carb deplete cycle and get started! You will most likely lose weight this week.
2) Towards the end of that week, bone up on what you will need for the second week. You don't have to stay under 20 carbs per day, and will be adding carbs back in, gradually. Copy menu plans for the second week and make sure you have food (normal, grocery store food!)for that week. You can tweak it if you like. You will have a cheat day at the end of this week!
3) Copy the meal plan charts for the macro-patterning cycle--weeks
2-4 and post on your refrigerator along with the meal plans for that week. Just double check to see if that day is supposed to be a B,C, or D. She has several different samples of menu plans in the middle and at the end of the book.
4) Then read up on what you will need to do for weeks 5-8 when you are close to finishing the 4th week.
This way, you will not get confused and feel like you have to finish the entire book before you even get started. Just get started! And when you see the results, as I have, you will get excited and keep reading. You will not feel hungry because of the amount of protein you will be eating. You will be eating 4-6 small meals per day with regular food. I was able to persuade my husband, who is addicted to sweets, to follow this program with me, and he lost 12 lbs and I lost 6.4 the first week. The food is simple and the plans are easy to follow. We are sold!

Rating:
I love this book and the whole idea behind it. It completly transformed my metabolisim and I feel so much healthier. I would recommend this book to anyone! Unless you're vegan, then it might be a little difficult to follow it correctly.
Changed my Life
Rating:
It is not an understatement to say that this book changed my life. I have been on this program for 4 months and am continuing to lose weight and inches. My energy has increased and I look 100% better... and feel it, too. I have tried every diet in the book and this is NOT a diet. Trust me, try it...it will change you forever.
