I wholeheartedly recommend both the diet and this book--the materials that come with the starter pack are not nearly as comprehensive. I set a goal of 25 lbs. weight loss and I'm within 15 lbs. of being there, having started the diet in mid-Nov. This is much, much more user-friendly and easier to stick with than South Beach Diet, and yields tons more progress than I got on the Abs Diet for Women. I also HIGHLY recommend the Alli Cookbook for long-term success on the program--250 pages of recipes, many more than you get in this "overall" book. Great book, great cookbook, great online support, great overall diet plan!!!
I first thought this book was a waste since alot of the information was redundant. Then I tried some of the recipies and loved it. Alot of tasty recipies that make you feel like you are eating healthy without sacraficing a great meal with great taste. I altered some recipies to my own taste while still keeping it low fat. My family has no idea on how much healthier they are eating!
