Average Rating: Rating: - It works! I am 61 and was 25lbs overweight with a blood sugar problem. I decided to try this pgm because I thought that it was safer than the Atkins diet. This pgm really works! I lost 12lbs in 4 weeks and 16 in 8 weeks. I cheated a little along the way or I would have done even better. My chloesteral went down 40 points and my blood pressure is now 120/62. Clothes that I hadn't worn in 3 years now fit fine. The book is well-written with chapter summaries that you can read rather than the entire text. I would put the tables either in the front or back as an appendix though. We bought the hardback because we refer to it often. I am truly thankful that I found this pgm. The truth is what you need and what you get. A safe and sensible way to diet for life. Rating: - Let's go back to bleeding Just read this book as background infomation for my low carbohydrate eating plan that I've lost 31 pounds on so far. The Editorial reviews crack me up. These doctors and nutritionists who "shudder" at hearing that carbs aren't needed in human nutrition are relics of the past like the doctors who drained blood from sick people, for whatever stretch of logic, a hundred an fifty years ago. The line about sun bathing with out sun blocker, if you can imagine such a thing, in the review is particularly funny! In the spring when it got nice outside so we kids wanted to be out more, my Grandmother used to say, "careful you don't get sun burned." The Eades tell you how to adjust sun exposure, just like Gramma did, so that you don't have to use some product that someone dreamed up a few years ago that has who knows what in it that is pushed by some company just to get your money. This is an excellent book for learning about how the body uses food for all of life's needs and for learning the lifestyle that allows you to lose and keep off the weight that you can't lose by eating a low fat or low calorie diet. It's the carbs that make you fat and sick. Deal with them. Rating: - Between extreme Atkins and moderate Zone diets This book is relatively extreme in the amount of protein and fat recommended. The two diabolically opposed gurus are Dr. Atkins, with a recommendation of almost 90% of calories coming from fat and protein, and Dr. Ornish, who recommends only 10% of calories via fat and protein. Drs Eades recommend a diet much closer to the Atkins diet. They recommend eating as much protein as you can, and don't worry about fat. This is good advice for obese patients looking to lose over 50 pounds, but may not be a great maintenance diet. A better long-term diet would be more like the one Dr. Sears recommends in his "Zone" books, which is 40% carbs and 60% fat and protein. In fact, my balance is about 50/50 and I'm about where I want to be. Just remember to include a good amount of protein in every meal, and avoid large carb-ridden snacks, and you'll lose weight. As far as Ornish's diet is concerned, well, SOME people have an excellent insulin metabolism system and can handle 90% carbs, but most of us CANNOT. 90% carbs is ridiculous, and is the main reason for American illnesses such as Diabetes, Hypertension, and Heart Disease, and in my opinion, even Cancer. The theoretical and statistical basis for these claims can be found in the book entitled The Failures of American Medicine.
