Answer 3

You don't need to buy the book, but basically it is all about making healthy choices. ie low fat low cal low carb. I tired it but focused mainly on the low carb part, but unfortunately unless you keep this way of life hard to keep off. I have found the best thing for me and what I realisticly could do. I have lost almost 30lbs and have kept it off. I basically make healthy choices and eat a balanced diet. I really watch sugars, I eat whole grain food, cut out sodas, no fast food, and eat lean meats, lots of veggies and what the extra stuff like butter oils, condiments....It may sound like a lot, but really its taking your fav foods and making the healthier. I'm not saying that I never eat bad cause I do...just don't make it a daily habit! I ate sun a chesseburger, shake and onion rings for lunch. But for dinner I had grilled chicken and rice. Find what works for you :)

Doing workouts(even mild workouts like walking somewhat) enchances the end results of any nutrition plan immensely. How lots workout do you pick? it easily relies upon an a)how lots weight you pick to unfastened b)your certainly pastime point c)how lots workout are you prepared to do.

Answer 5

Few of my friend did it and very successful. You eat a lot of protein on this diet, so excercise fits in perfectly.

I would suggest buying a book if want to do it, you want to do it right.
