One of my colleagues had gotten an early copy of this book, and following the advice in it, including the shakes, lost what appeared to be at least about 20 or more pounds, maybe 30, in no time flat (6 weeks?) and also appeared to be a lot more healthy and energetic. She said it was NO EFFORT at all. But buoyed by her quick success, I guess, she stopped her new protocol and fell back to baseline.
Well, her success had looked pretty good to me, so I got the book too, and, only wanting to lose 8 pounds, have lost about 2 in just three weeks or so, and just by sort of keeping in mind the advice. I haven't done anything, really, like making any special shakes or buying special pasta or anything like that. Not that I won't, I just haven't gone that far with it yet. Till now, I've just skimmed a lot of the book and am keeping in mind what the author says to avoid.
So with that little bit of education, I'm just watching what I'm choosing to eat, and noticing, and just "avoiding" those addicto-carbs. (I confess to eating some, but then watching and being aware, and avoiding the craving that inevitably arises.) And that's it! I'm already more energetic, too, as well as the couple pounds lighter.
This book is just the thing for us struggling with the typical American diet whether it's 200 pounds or the persistent last five that we want to lose while building our health.
The Addictocarb Diet is an easy read, by the way, full of humor, anecdotes and the author's personal experiences. For example, he talks about having gotten slim and then going out to dinner at a world-renowned NY restaurant with his thin friends and his thin wife; everything is fine and under control, but after having a couple bites of incredible bread he completely goes off the deep end and regains 10+ pounds in the following week or so. And he's funny about it! He made me laugh out loud, and in other spots, tears actually came to my eyes.
The book can be read in small portions, so that when I walk by and see it on my counter or table, I can stop and read a few pages, and feel amused and productive without having to devote two or three hours in a shot to reading. Though if I were on a plane or had a rainy weekend with no urgent projects, I would definitely want to read it through. I gave a copy to a friend who read it straight through - couldn't put it down.
Suitable for both men and women, too. Not a girly thing, and definitely not patronizing. Kudos to the good Dr. Roseman and thanks to him for his openness. I think he's really on to something. He knows his stuff.
