Finest weitht loss and health book ever written

As a 70 year old "health nut," world class sprinter and body builder, and having read all of the most highly rated weight loss and health books written to date, it is clear to me that this is easily the most usable and accurate approach to weight loss ever published. One does not have to be a genius in the kitchen to do this diet and it incorporates most of the best information I have ever read on this subject in one well-thought-out plan. The TwinLabs recommendations (which don't have to be from TwinLabs) are the magic bullets that make the approach work easily and well. I would suggest reading D'Adamo's book Live Right for Your Type, Schwarzbein's The Schwarzbein Principle II, Smith's Feed Your Body Right, and Max Contraction Training by John Little as helpful auxillary reading for the serious health and weight loss enthusiast on any diet. Supreme simplicity and usability are the keys to why this dietary approach is far and away the gold standard. Add a glycemic index chart and you are on your way to a new you.

A Useless Book

I used to make a living writing about nutrition. I've read virtually all of the low-carb diet books and found nothing new or useful in the Greenwich plan. The book reads like an infomercial for Twinlabs products, a good-enough company that should employ to author to do PR for them, if they haven't already done so. I find Dr. Colker's approach rather insulting, as a matter of fact. He presents only the most rudimentary scientific explanations and just says do this, do that, as if the reading public isn't interested in or capable of understanding and evaluating research reports.

Perhaps a dedicated bodybuilder might want to follow Greenwich, which has you ingesting protein supplements from morning til night, but most people would do better reading Barry Sears' Zone books. Sears presents much more detailed explanations of why low-carb diets work and his eating plans are based exclusively on food. Yes, good, delicious, wholesome food. Imagine that!

Actually, I do use whey-based protein powder as part of my ongoing personal diet, but could not possibly choke down the amount Colker suggests.

really got a lot out of it

this book is written by someone who knows about health and wellness. the guy, Colker, is a doc who actually looks like a fitness guru and knows his stuff cold. i would take my info anyday from a guy who looks the picture of health than a pencil neck geek doctor who tries to tell me i need more iceberg salad with my kool aid.
