The ABS Diet for Women by David Zinczenko, Ted Spiker (2008, Paperback, Reprint)

I got this book from the library and then 2 weeks and 14 lbs later I bought my own copy. This book was probably the first 'diet' book that made sense, and seemed like I could tweek my daily habits permanently. I usually feel like programs would never resonable last in my life, but I can see this one working. I lost 14 lbs in the first 2 weeks. I am currently ending my 3rd week so I don't know what additional weight loss I may have had. Good info, understandable, motivation, and realisitc. The only reason that I gave it a 'good' and not an 'Excellent' is because it has quite a few recipes that involove seafood which I don't like. If I liked seafood more then no problems. Also there are enough non-seafood recipes to keep me interested and satisfied.

I've changed my mind about this book. At first I was excited about it - I'd get to eat MORE food and food that I normally wouldn't touch was on the menu. However, after several weeks of the diet & exercise I am re-thinking my commitment.

I took a closer look at the foods on the menu. They are LOADED with sugar. Plain yogurt = 16g/serving.
Preserves = 12g/serving.
One slice of whole wheat bread = 4g of sugar.

I don't ever eat sugar. I now have headaches, my focus is off and I'm having trouble sleeping.

Compared to my normal food choices, this diet is borderline junk food. If you need wheat bread to get your daily fiber, you're not eating right to begin with. My fiber comes from organic whole grains (like barley) and beans in every color of the rainbow.

I haven't lost any weight, either. Ok, I've lost one pound...but I bought lighter running shoes so I can't attribute that pound to this diet. lol

If you eat at McDonald's every day...this is going to be a good diet for you.

Otherwise....don't bother.

Its a good book that gives you ideas and food suggestions to help women lose weight. I like the book because it gives you picture of many exercises you can do at home or in a gym. What i didn't like was they do not have many works outs for your abs which should be the main target. I bought the book because i thought it would be interesting to read someones perspectives on this topic.

the product was exactly how described and it was just like I had bought it from the book store, very nice.

I liked that the shipping costs were reasonable and that it came quickly. I also liked that the book came in the condition described. I decided to buy it for the condition it was in and the reasonable shipping costs.

The book arrived timely and in excellent condition upon arrival. It contains a lot of valuable information.

Thankyou for the book. Its very insightful on loosing weight and is a totally different approach than I have ever tried before.

Exactly as described, good condition, great price. Shipping was fairly fast. I am very satisfied with my purchase and will purchase from this seller again :)

I have really enjoyed the book. There is alot of information to absorb. What I would find helpful is a perforated postcard with the 12 ingredients listed as a quick reference for my purse.
