Real world diet advice

Read this just after reading the latest results from the Women's Health Initiative regarding the limited benefits of a low fat diet. Most striking in the WHI news was the inability of most of the study subjects to stay on the low-fat diet long enough to see if it works! In addition to providing a provocative way to "cheat" the body's metabolism and help folks get through weight loss plateaus, this book offers something too few diet books offer, a weight loss regimen that you can live with.

Genius!

Being a good 90 kilograms when you are only sixteen years of age is hard. But you have to start somewhere or else you will only get bigger, I have lost a good ten kilograms in the past two years, but I was never dead serious about it mostly because I would try one diet and get bored with it and then begin another, I couldn't just stick with one. But in the past two weeks of owning this book, it has opened up my eyes so much. You don't have to exclude anything from your diet, it's brilliant! I have lost nearly five kilograms in the past two weeks thanks to the new found knowledge that this book has given me. It was well worth every cent.

The Skinny of the Cheater's Diet

At last! A diet for the real world! "The Cheater's Diet" recognizes what we've always known: sticking with a diet routine is boring. This book provides insights into why and how bodies adapt to what we eat, in a way that's very readable. I sat down to read and, before I knew it, the book was almost finished. "The Cheater's Diet" confirmed that variety is the spice of life and taught me some things I didn't know. The book includes interesting tidbits about cinnamon and supplements. It's also full of useful facts on super-charged foods. This book clears up myths about diets, what makes metabolisms tick, and what provides incentives to make this diet "stick." It has simple, tasty, quick and easy recipes that work with today's schedules. The "Cheater's Diet" also has great exercise advice, such as the best time to exercise and how to fit it into a hectic life. For someone like me, who wants some solid, basic guidelines for an effective diet that doesn't involve counting calories or hours of working out, this book is the one to get.

This makes perfect sense!

At last, here's a book for people who love to eat (as I do). Given the choice between deprivation and reward, I'll take reward any day. And The Cheater's Diet really works, even for a chow-hound like me. The weekday meals are delicious, and Dr. Rivas has recommendations for strategic cheating that are, well, pretty appetizing. Enjoying this instead of hating it. Six pounds off in two weeks, and I don't feel like I'm depriving myself of anything. I'm going to stick with this plan.

INCREDIBLE!

There are three incredibly great things about The Cheater's Diet: 1. It works! 2. It's EASY to stick to, and 3. It works incredibly fast! In all my years I've never tried or been on a diet that I could stick to for more than a week. Dr. Rivas' diet is (pardon the expression) a piece of cake. So far I've been on it a month and so far I've lost 9 lbs! Where has this diet been all my life?
