I am not a diet kind of person, but my brother really recommended this one. IF I ever did diet...this would probably be the one I would choose. It isn't so much about food deprivation as it is about giving yor body the proper kind of nutrition that it needs to function optimally.
This book seems daunting at first. When I started I wanted to skip ahead to the good stuff, but later on I discovered myself wanting to go back to reread certain sections. I highly recommend sticking through it until you get the hang of managing your water intake and eating more frequently. Also, the hardest thing for me was measuring quantities. Had a few blips like the one time I accidentally served myself a pound of shrimp. It gets easier though! The more you plan ahead, the more peace of mind you have throughout the week.
My doctor recommended this book. It was really helpful to get me past my plateau. I lost about 14 pounds with it. Then, I got back on this diet after the holidays and lost 10 pounds that creeped back on.
It's really intense though, you have to be committed to making this happen. I have been meaning to get back on it, but I'm not ready yet.
