The Best Life Diet
Date undefinedI didn't not find this book helpful at all. I actually found it to be a little obnoxious. I do think the author believes in his cause and I think it's great if he can help some people out. The plugs for Oprah, slim fast, and yo-plait yogurt were annoying to me and i didn't find anything special about his food and exercise plan. If you need a good book on healthful eating read " The Eat-Clean Diet" and get the cook book. This is a much better guide to good eating and the recipes are pretty good as well.

Date undefinedEasy read. Great practical advice for changing how you eat and how you live. Some of the recipes are a little strange for my taste, but many look worth a try.
The Best Life Diet
Date undefinedI LOVE THIS BOOK!
Here's why:
1. It works (I have multiple people in my life that can prove it)
2. You can do it any any fitness level
3. You can lose as little or as much as you want
4. NO CALORIE COUNTING
5. You can do any exercise you want, in any distribution you want, to any level you want and have it fit your lifestyle
6. No excess hunger
7. It's simple
8. It's permanent
9. Your energy level increases
10. Your body is healthier
11. You can still eat the foods you love (including ice-cream, chocolate, cake)
Ok, it may not be wonderfully written, the recipes are moderate but in the end IT WORKS! I had been trying for about 6 months to lose only 7 pounds - not only did I not lose weight, I started to GAIN - double ugg. I was already fairly fit and my eating habits were actually quite good - but I was stuck. I was exercising, cutting portions and still no lost pounds. This book fixed my problem and I actually lost more weight than I had planned. - It all boiled down to the hunger scale (well, for me anyway).
I followed the book week by week as it suggested. The first 4 weeks I didn't change much of my lifestyle at all and I didn't lose any weight (but you're not necessarily supposed to). The second 4 weeks I started to lose weight - it was the hunger scale. As long as I stop at the recommended "level 5", I lose weight. ( Actually despite my activity level. ) This prevents the rigorous and mundane calorie counting. I am still eating all of the foods I enjoy and am still losing! I'm not hungry during the day and snack 2 or more times daily (as recommended).
This also works for a completely different lifestyle than mine. I also bought this for my father who was not active, did not have great eating habits and needed to lose about 40 lbs. He too had wonderful success 35 down so far and still counting.
