Review of The Four Corners Diet: The Healthy Low-Carb Way of Eating for a Lifetime (Paperback)

I have been on this diet since it was called the GO diet.Not only did I lose all the weight I desired without starving myself to death, I have also managed to keep it all off!!This diet is so simple it's a wonder everyone isn't on it.Easy changes to my eating habits has resulted in a permanent change in not only my weight but also my overall health.The sleepy feeling halfway through the day is no longer there.I do not need to sleep as many hours at night as I used to either.I love this diet!!It's given me more energy and at least a couple more hours a day of "awake" time.To me that is priceless.My 29 year old son went on it and his triglycerides were improved by it.He remains on it to this day as he too believes it is a life style change and not just a weightloss diet.I am wondering if the "reader from Alabama" even read this book or is perhaps confusing the Four Corners diet with another diet, because coffee is a "pharmafood" and is NOT discouraged on this diet.It is, in fact, specifically included in the diet.I should know because I drink at least 3 or 4 cups of coffee a day - a habit I've had for 20 plus years now.I love this diet and I love this book.I will remain on this diet for the rest of my life.

Product Description
There's no cutting corners if you want to be healthy.... Introducing the bold, easy, clinically proven LOW-CARB way to lose weight now-and keep it off for life
Millions of us are jumping on the low-carb bandwagon, yet many nutritionists and health experts are questioning the long-term medical effects of these dietary choices. The Four Corners Diet is a medically tested, healthy way to cut carbs without cutting out nutrition-packed vegetables, heart-healthy monounsaturated fat, and fiber. It is easy and realistic and will help you shed weight and keep it off.
In 1996, Drs. Goldberg and O'Mara embarked on an in-depth review of the then-popular diets and the scientific literature concerning weight loss and improvements in serum lipids through diet. Sifting through hundreds of studies, they set out to create their own diet-one based on the most proven elements and soundest data from the scientific literature. The diet they created has 4 cornerstones." -the FOUR CORNERS of the title, and emphasizes:
1. Low-carb eating-to keep blood sugar levels on an even keel and hunger pangs at bay
2. Heart-healthy monounsaturated fat-and limiting consumption of saturated fat
3. Fiber-a highly beneficial form of carbs that we don't digest
4. Pharmafoods-foods with health benefits beyond their content of vitamins and minerals and include probiotic foods such as yogurt and buttermilk, as well as many vegetables and some fruits
After first testing the diet on themselves, and both losing weight, Drs. Goldberg and O'Mara started a formal clinical study in moderately to severely obese subjects, and they and others have now tested this diet more informally with hundreds of people of varied weights and ages.
