Customer Reviews

title doesn't do the book justice

The title makes it sound like a clone of Atkins, but it's not. I think this is unfortunate, because the book gets lost in a sea of diet books. As a diet book, this isn't the best, but this is much more than just a diet book. There is some overlap in information, but Dr. Ullis puts much more emphasis on exercise with even a section of illustrated strength training exercises. Atkins and other low carb diets are about keeping insulin levels down to burn fat. Ullis talks about that, but also about balancing all your hormones for improved health, longer life, and to reverse the affects of aging. Unfortunately, he doesn't go into the technical details as much as I would like (which accounts for the deduction of one star), but there are definitely some good things to learn about this book. Ullis emphasizes not only what to eat and how to exercise, but also timing. So, I think this is a worthwhile read.

Great book for the clueless

Karlis Ullis, M.D. is one of a few number of doctors who really understand this subject. I can say this as a patient who has had problems with other doctors who were not up on hormone replacement. This new book is ideal for someone who wants to know how to get started and wants factual information, not BS. The book is written in simple, understandable language, doesn't make a bunch of ridiculous promises and puts the onus of progress on to the individual where it belongs. However it also provides the information on how to do it. Highly recommended!
