It works! I love it!
I am thrilled with this diet. I have been on this diet since for 6 days and have lost 9 pounds so far! It is healthy, easy, and fits nicely into my regular routine with meals I can share with my family. All of my family, including my teenage son and my husband, have loved all the recipes I have prepared from this book. I am using the concepts taught to improve my kids' diet as well and the girls are really enjoying eating healthier with me. I highly recommend it!

It has become a lifestyle
My husband and I did this together and we've learned how to subsitute local items for the name brand hard to find items. We just compare food labels and get something close. My husband lost 38 pound from Sept through December. I'm only 5'2" and didn't have much too loose so I've always had trouble with that last 5 pounds. I found I lost 14 pounds and I'm VERY pleased. I didn't realize that in my late 30's my body had shifted and weight was starting to accumulate around my waist. My husband was sporting a spare set of, as he calls them, tires and now looks and feels amazing. The doctor has said we can continue on the diet and my husband will just up his calories to the doctor recommended amount. With my activity level,limited, and size the doctor was fine with me remaining at 1600. I highly reccommend this book. It will take some effort, planning and does cost a bit more in food. Once you're on it for a while you figure out how to manage the costs and the menu to create something that is easy to have as a daily lifestyle. This also allows for the occasional treat without feeling guilty and gaining weight. I am very thankful we found this book as we are much more healthy.

Flat Belly Diet
The book has good content but we are unable to follow the recipes as Australia doesn't have the same products as USA.
It would have been good if the author or publisher added an appendix with comparison products we could relate to.
