 This diet WORKS! September 7, 2007

This diet really works. The best thing about it is after Day 2 you no longer have cravings for sweets or starches. After Day 3, you are no longer hungry between meals, and you find yourself eating less, full of energy, and mostly weaned from caffeine. (I cheated a little bit here because it made me feel very tired to have no caffeine, whew!)
The best part is attaining a new appreciation for a huge variety of veggies and fruits....steamed, sauteed, and roasted vegetables acquire new characteristics and tastes with different preparations.
The fish, chicken and tofu likewise become new and different as you experiment with different seasonings and herbs.
I'd recommend this for anyone with a serious desire to lose weight and improve general overall health.

While Dr. Hyman's recommendations are somewhat daunting, the basic advice is great. Even if you don't follow the plan to the letter, you're health will improve and you will lose weight if you take to heart his recommendations to modify your diet, your life and your thought processes.

I have always eaten what we are told is healthy (except for a passion for ice cream and gelato)...however this book is a way to look at a healthier way.... gluten and sugar really aren't good for you no matter how much you rationalize it. This could be the reason for so much Diabetes 2 in our country. I have taken this book as a starter book and then even elimated some of the items he feels are still healthy. Chicken is an example...if chicken is so good for you to eat...why do you have to be so careful not to get any of it on your counters before you cook it. My feeling is if it is so disgustingly unhealthy before you cook it....it can't be good for you to eat even cooked...why not enjoy some black beans for your protein...or better yet, GO RAW! Your skin will sparkle for it!

I went on this diet because for most of the year I've suffered bouts of bronchitis and sinus infections. Medication for allergies wasn't helping. I read in a magazine where readers who had tried the diet eliminated quite a few of their allergy symptoms so I tried it!
It worked. My worst diet days were the first and second days, giving up caffeine was hard!! On the third day I woke up with more energy and a clear head-no stuffiness, no itchy eyes or throat. It was bliss! I also lost almost ten pounds the first week which was a surprising bonus. I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, and have had nearly 75% of my thyroid removed, I expected to lose -at most- three or four pounds. Losing weight is no longer a goal of mine, I suspect I will never reach the weight I was when I first became sick, my metabolism just doesn't work the same anymore. The first ten pounds has given me hope that I might come close. My current goal is to be healthy--and I have never felt better then I do at this time.
I've remained on this diet, bringing back into it my favorite veggies while continuing to avoid the common allergen foods as much as possible. I do have the occasional slip, and the scale has slowed its downward trend (but its still moving down). The benefits I've received are phenomenal-I no longer suffer from sinus infections, I have energy and most important to me, I am off the medication I took daily for allergy symptoms.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who is questioning if they have an undiagnosed food allergy or who just wants to feel healthy again.
