Review of Fat Free, Flavor Full: Dr. Gabe Mirkin's Guide to Losing Weight & Living Longer (Paperback)

The book is inspiring, and I highly recommend it. What made this diet extremely easy for me (as a working mom with a nursing 1-year-old I have little time to cook) is that there's a company near me called Diet-to-Gothat delivers Mirkin Meals to my home. I feel like I could eat this wayforever. I have lots of energy, and after just two months of eatingMirkin-style, even my pre-pregnancy clothes are all loose on me. For peoplewho like whole grains, beans, veggies and fruit, this way of eating isextremely satisfying. The food is filling, and it seems like I'm getting avery nutritious diet every day, with enough protein, complex carbs,vitamins and minerals. I find that I really don't crave the fat, and that20 grams of fat per day is plenty. I think this type of diet also booststhe immune system, because even though others in my household (who are noton the diet) have been coming down with colds and viruses, I've stayedhealthy. Mirkin recommends exercise, but with so little time, the best Ican manage is to wear a pedometer and try to walk 10,000 steps each day.But, I've found that even walking an average of 4,000 steps seems to besufficient to cause weight loss on the Mirkin diet.

Review of The 20/30 Fat & Fiber Diet Plan: The Weight-Reducing, Health-Promoting Nutrition System for Life (Harper Resource Book) (Paperback)

Fat people know how awful it is when you want to lose weight, but feel like you don't have enough willpower to diet or excercise. I spent a long time in that condition.
When I came across this book, I decided to tryjust a little bit at a time. I thought I'd try just one day on the programper week, and see how it went. Well! I've never gone back. I have stuckwith it every day since then, which is pretty easy, thanks to the 2"eat whatever you want" meals per week.
The 20/30 eating planis easy, tasty, and even fun for me. I never feel hungry, and there arelots of good foods to eat. My doctor says this is a very healthy way toeat.
It's great news that I have lost weight on this plan. But the betternews is that I love the way I feel, and I actually LIKE eating this way. Somuch so that I plan to continue with the 20/30 plan even after I reach mygoal weight. This is a plan I can happily follow for life.
I am notusually evangelistic about anything to do with diet. But this is a book Iwill buy for all my closest friends, because I want them to be as healthyas I feel right now.
I've even started a discussion/support group forpeople who are new to 20/30 - and if you knew me, you'd realize that doingthis kind of stuff is completely out of character for me. But give me asoapbox, and I'll tell anybody that this plan has made a major differencein my life.
I'm just a regular person, and I have nothing to gain if youbuy this book. But it is the one book I would recommend to _everybody_ Theplan is sensible, the recipes are great, and this works.
Good luck!
