"My actual rating for this book is 3 & 1/2 stars because it was not a bad read. Though filled with pretty much the same information on nutrition as any other diet book, I like the different approach to dieting. Heavin's theory is fascinating and believable. No miracle pills, just very hard work. There are two types of diets, the calorie or the carbohydrate sensitive. There is also a test to determine which diet suits you best.
The book is filled with great straightforward information on fats, carbs and proteins. There is also a whole chapter dedicated to vitamins, minerals and other supplements to enhance weight loss, a 5 week meal plan for the calorie sensitive and the carbohydrate sensitive diets. A few starter recipes, shopping lists and various charts to track your meals and weight loss progress.
The only downside to this diet is that I cannot imagine getting by on only 20g of carbohydrates a day (even if it's only for two weeks). What the heck would I be eating? Leaves? I mean he has a pretty descent meal plan for each type of dieter (calorie or carb sensitive) but I can't imagine it being enough food for anyone. And I cannot realistically say that I am anxious to give it a try. I'm working up the courage though and will update this review if and when I do try it."
