Thin for Good. The One Low-Carb Diet That Will Finally Work for You

My husband and I are on our 8th day of this diet and we are both feeling fantastic. It may seem complicated at first and the weighing and measuring may seem daunting but just wade right in and it all makes sense and becomes habit very quickly. There are some delicious recipes and it is an amazing thing to sit down to meals that are cooked with butter and cream and mayonaise and all those things that we have denied ourselves for years and to actually be loosing weight. I recommend this book compleatly.

Dr. Pescastores unique bent on low carb dieting resides in his linking of the mind and body with his Mind-Body Medicines. daily thoughts to spur on your reserve in the diet process.
This book had a lot of good information, but overall I felt it would make life way too complicated to try to implement the diet as Dr. Pescatore laid it out. There were so many rules and measurements to make of everything you put in your mouth, that it would be much easier just to give up eating entirely. In this fast paced world, I really feel that most people just dont have the time or desire to go to this much trouble to lose weight and regain health, when there are many other books out there that tell you how to accomplish the same thing in a much easier format.
Another non-selling point for me was the amount of different dietary supplements he encourages you to take daily. This diet could get very expensive very quickly.

I related very well to the author and this is the first diet book that addressed the needs of women who are peri-menopausal/ menopausal. Now that I know what to eat to lose weight, I am very excited and beleive that I can do it. Dr. Pescatore is inspiring and I highly recommend this book to anyone who has been on a diet that failed. This one will work for you. Its working for me. A great book to read and re-read for the inspiration to stay on a diet.

The most valuable aspect of this book is the psychological. The mind is a crucial ally in this battle to lose weight, and the author realizes that the mind part of losing weight has not been addressed in most other diets. However, the diet itself is more complicated than Atkins or Protein Power, and some of the limitations he imposes are not explained (I mean, Im not going to measure out my mustard, for gosh sakes.) Therefore, to me, this book is best used to supplement other low-carb plans.

I am a physician who advocates a low carbohydrate diet. I feel this is the best book on this subject and recommend it to all of my patients. Finally a book that does the work for me in telling patients the healthiest way to eat. It is great for people who need to lose weight as well as those who dont. There are just no gimmicks and the mind-body approach is absolutely fantastic.

I just finished reading the book and I have to say it makes more sense andamp. is closer to reality than the other low carb diet books out there. It is a little more complicated than the one size fits all low carb diet but that will probably make it a success for more people. I think most of us know in our hearts that we cant eat without some portion control. He doesnt want you to obsess over counting carbs because it just makes you obsessed over another aspect of food andamp. that will work against you in the end. The book addresses the physical andamp. psychological war we have to wage if we want to control our weight for life. We have to take the responsibility for ourselves andamp. quit blaming what happens to us or the people around us for caving in to our cravings. The author has a great deal of experience working with patients andamp. has seen the pitfalls of telling them to eat all they want as long as it is legal. It has some good recipes too.
