It's nothing but a new age starvation diet

I had seen Rocco DiSpirito do some things on tv and I thought this would be a good book to at least get some recipes. It wasn't. 850 calories a day is a starvation diet. Period. It will slow down your metabolism so you gain weight afterward. The foods are also very expensive and I haven't even heard of a good number of them, available, he says at health food stores. It's also a running a commercial for some brands of food, and horribly high in sodium. Has he even checked the sodium count on pudding? Or canned beans? Throwing in a few salt free broths will no doubt mislead some people to assume he has taken sodium into consideration. He has not. Check the sodium in everything else. Will you be hungry on this diet? Who knows - as I said, I haven't heard of many of the things in these recipes. Of course it will be easier if you stuff yourself with kale and the like. But then you'll also be full if you eat lots of air popped popcorn, which is also a whole grain & higher in fiber than anything in this book. All in all, this is one more diet scam. Of course you will lose weight if you eat fewer calories and exercise more. That's what mothers have been telling us for generations. Doing it on 850 calories a day on a diet too high in sodium for most people, too acidic for many more, and too lacking in too many things to mention is just getting suckered in to a very bad idea. Not to mention this one is a lot more expensive than the others.
