Has anyone tried this? Prevention magazine is advertising a cookbook with recipes that are supposed to promote eating this way (whatever this way is )  Of course the book is very tempting, but I"m not sure I want to buy it; but, on the other hand, a fresh look at some new recipes may be the kick in the pants I need ( Umm... I meant "the inspiration I need"). Thoughts?
Peace,
Nancy

Sounds like another gimick to sell a book
But if you're looking for that type of recipe.. then it might certainly be a fun thing to get.. have you checked your library? or a local bookstore so that you can browse it before buying?

Okay I'll admit, I bought it and started it. I did their first 4 days thing, not nearly as yucky as when I tried the Fat Flush Plan. Anyways, after those first 4 days I did lose 8 lbs! But it was all water, so it came back pretty quick. And I must admit, I felt great too with all the bloat gone! It has some good ideas, like adding more avocados, olives and such to your diet. I petered off of it though. I don't do well doing a "special" diet with kids.
Oh and one bonus...you are suppose to eat chocolate! dark ofcourse!

Dark Chocolate...and it's legal?!
That's IT! Sign me up!
I heard that if you work on the gut and digestion internally that you will lose that area. I am asking my friend to get me that research....

I tried this, got the book from the library. I couldn't get through the four day jump start because it made me so painfully bloated, not to mention hungry, that I was miserable.
It was lots of things like turkey cold cuts, cucumbers, rice crispies cereal, prunes, cheese, sunflower seeds, etc. Just didn't work for me.
The dark chocolate was a nice touch!
