Basically the idea is to entirely replace carbs and poisonous sugar with fibers, but considering people who are in budget and highly active everyday, particularly in hot south asian countries, can they actually afford to do so? but some of the ideas and tidbits presented in the books, specifically for diabetic people, are followed by my diabetic relatives for so long that they swear by them. Therefore, it would be interesting to embrace the lifestyle advocated by the author.

The author of this book is so confident of the claims he is making, But the true science doesn't really support his claims. There are not enough scientific literature attached to every claim he is making. This book sucks, The diet plan he recommended in this book drive me nuts.

Though I hate all diet ideas and slimming plans, when I came across ‘The Baby Elephant Diet’, a book written by Sri Ravi Mantha, an established wellness mentor, I felt curious and completed the whole book. That is because the book is quite realistic; it talks about eating right, not eating less. Mr Mantha does not want people to starve to death, just he advises to eat ‘as much as you like’, but the right food only. The author breaks some popular myths of diet, and shows enough scientific reasons for that. The book is based on genuine research and credible facts, rather than head crushing ideas of modern slimming fad.
