Must Have If You Are Recently Diagnosed

This book was so helpful. I know I will learn more from it every day. If you are just diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes it's a must have. I had no idea what I was doing. This book has gotten me through. I highly recommend it.

Rating :

Great book; but was sent the old (not latest) edition as ordered.

Excellent book; very informative and "user friendly." However, I wish I had been shipped the latest edition instead of being "jipped" by receiving the old edition.

MUST READ for the newly diagnosed with Diabetes

Before I started my Diabetes education classes I wanted to get some well researched information written by someone who went through it and not by just a Dr. only. This book is helpful and well written...an easy read. Titled clearly for easy to find topics.

Editorial Review :

By the #1 New York Times bestselling author Kevin Trudeau comes the last diet you will ever need. Imagine, you will lose at least 30 pounds in 30 days...with no hunger...no exercise...and no surgery!

An absolute cure for obesity was discovered almost fifty years ago by a British medical doctor. Tens of thousands of people used this simple, inexpensive, safe medical treatment and achieved miraculous, fast, and permanent weight loss. Stubborn area fat deposits melted away. Body reshaping of the hips, thighs, buttocks, and waist was so dramatic it appeared as if the patients received liposuction! Amazingly, this medical breakthrough has been debunked, discredited, and suppressed by the American Medical Association, the Food and Drug Administration, and other medical establishments throughout the world. Now, for the first time in fifty years, this revolutionary breakthrough discovery, which permanently cures the condition of obesity, is being released to the public.

The main problems that overweight people deal with are massive, intense, constant physical hunger; food cravings and uncontrollable urges to eat when not hungry; low metabolism; and an abnormally high amount of fat stored in stubborn secure problem areas such as the hips, thighs, buttocks, and waist. This "weight loss cure protocol" has been proven to be virtually 100% successful in correcting these conditions, thus curing the individual of obesity for life! Read the fascinating true story of how this discovery was made and, more importantly, how this miracle weight loss breakthrough has been hidden from the public so that drug companies can make billions of dollars selling their expensive drug treatments and surgical procedures for obesity. You'll be amazed to read how the food manufacturers actually have a financial incentive to make you fat! This is the book that answers all the questions about why people today are continually getting fatter and fatter. The good news is this book gives you the cure that can solve your overweight condition once and for all.

OK

This is not for everyone, but the information is there if you know how to pull it out and put it together for yourself. He uses his web site as a way to buy the products inculding the HCG Shots, but still gives you other avenues as where to purchase what you need.

It works I have tried it (using homeopathics not shots). The biggest part of all of it is the Detox! Kevin keeps saying it is easy, it is not. With that said the secret to it is keeping is simple.

This is FOR REAL!

I've been on the HCG diet for two weeks now and I've lost 12 lbs. I have lost 3 inches off of my waist and I am beginning to look fabulous in my clothes again.

This diet takes real committment and it should change the way you see and eat food for the rest of your life following the diet. For instance, 4 oz of meat/protein is all you should have as a serving at mealtime. And you should be prepared to pretty much cut most fat out of your diet and only use 'carbs' as condiments.

But let me tell you - this diet is REAL, it's accessible, and it WORKS! In 2 weeks, I have lost 12 lbs, my husband has lost 15, and each of his parents has lost about 15 as well. We all feel great, we have energy as long as we stay hydrated, and we give ourselves the shots because they are painless and you can't even really feel it. Follow the rules and be committed and you'll do great!

A brand new me!

I am very surprised by all those here in search of a magic bullet. Don't you realize there isn't one! I have read Dr. Simeon's original manuscript and I am currently taking HCG that I received from a licensed physician. IT WORKS! I feel great! I have lost 20 lbs in 3 weeks. I've got 3 weeks to go. I would also recommend that those interested purchase the book titled "HCG Weight Loss Cure Guide" by Pounds and Inches Away, LLC because it's more streamlined than Kevin's book. For me it's not just about weight loss - it's about fat loss! I've lost inches and reshaped my body. Now listen, I found a doctor that prescribes HCG in Aurora, IL - I live about 40 minutes away. I only had to see him twice. Once for a consultation and then for a 2 week follow-up. I know that everyone isn't comfortable with the idea of a self-injection. Trust me...I'd take this over popping pills anytime. It's quick and painless. I took Phentermine years ago which is FDA approved and was prescribed by my primary care physician. The experience is like night and day. I had insomnia, dry mouth, jitters, etc. - it was awful and I loss the wrong type of fat.

Anyway, my HCG doctor was referred by a colonic therapist I found online. Colonics are important too but not absolutely necessary for success. The honest truth is that very few people can actually follow the 50+ suggestions in Phase 1 of Trudeau's book - but that's NOT the point. The point is to make some of the changes so you can live a healthier lifestyle AFTER losing weight on HCG. There are things I will absolutely NOT do since reading this book - like eat anything with High Fructose Corn Syrup or MSG or Trans Fat. I also ensure that I workout daily and I don't eat out much! Shopping at Whole Foods may be more expensive but the cost has been offset by preparing meals at home! One of the greatest benefits is that I'm no longer drinking alcohol and eating sugar - if you want to talk about what's dangerous - I would suggest that you Google "Sugar Dangers".

I mean really...how can anyone claim that a hormone (HCG is a hormone not drug) is dangerous and yet they poison their bodies with growth hormones injected in cows and man-made chemicals in our food and toxic chemicals in our cleaning supplies. Educate yourself! Dr. Simeons graduated Summa cum laude - he's brilliant. This is HIS protocol - not Trudeau's - although I think Trudeau's book is helpful because of the dangers we face today that weren't present when Dr. Simeons found this cure. I could go on and on but some folks just want an easy way out. I came a long way to find this approach - it simply builds on what I already knew - refined, processed foods are bad for you. If it doesn't come from a plant, animal or fish - you're body doesn't need it!

Eat Trudeau's book itself - it's healthier!

I can't believe that people are still buying this load of recycled rubbish! Trudeau is a well-known con-man from way back, but maybe after this latest judicial ruling, he won't be so confidant!

-- A federal judge has banned Kevin Trudeau from infomercials in which
he has an interest for three years and ordered him to pay $5,173,000
in profits from his book, "The Weight Loss Cure 'They' Don't Want You
to Know About."

The ruling confirms an earlier contempt finding against Trudeau -- the
second time he has been found in contempt of court in the past four
years. In several infomercials, Trudeau claimed that the plan
outlined in the book is easy to do, can be done at home, and
ultimately allows readers to eat whatever they want. However, the
book actually describes a complex plan that requires severe dieting,
daily injections of a prescription drug that consumers cannot easily
get, and lifelong dietary restrictions.

In a 2004 order settling FTC charges that he had falsely claimed that his calcium product could cure cancer and other serious diseases, Trudeau was banned from using infomercials to sell any product, service, or program except for books and and other publications.

Most folks would be better off gently sauteing this book in olive oil, chopped onion, garlic and ground black pepper and eating it -- mainly for its high fibre content. What could be healthier?

Kevin Trudeau is a fraud

The only good advice in this book is basic common sense when it comes to losing weight. From drinking more water, limiting food consumption, to *gasp* exercising and avoiding fast food, Trudeau produces these ideas as if they were his own great epiphany. Indeed, these are the only things to his "weight loss miracle" cocktail that have ever been proven to provide any real results.

He sites an outdated study done abroad, in which people lost weight injecting themselves with something that is "easily obtainable". Yup, along with the needles you'll have to buy yourself, the daily injections you'll have to give yourself, you're reduced to obtaining the liquid you're injecting into your body from less-than-credible people. No doctor will give you the shot, as Trudeau claims they will, as no doctor is foolish enough to inject you with this crap.

Go ahead, take 15 minutes and look up anything about Kevin Trudeau. You'll find nothing positive about his books, and a wealth of information on how much of a crook and liar he is.

And for the record, everyone on amazon giving him a positive review has only written one review: for Trudeau's book. I wonder if those are Trudeau's marketing lackeys...

Fantastic resource!!!

I was suffering from a skin ailment for the past 2 years. After reading Eat Right 4 Your Type, I decided to start following the diet. My skin ailment went away!!! I am sold on the blood type diet. It really does work. I feel terrific, hooray!! This mini resource fits in my purse and I use it all the time. I tell people about my success and they want to know all about it. I use it when I shop, and when I go out to eat, to make sure I buy and eat things that won't be bad for my blood.

A concept revisited

I rejected this book some 10 years ago. Owing to health issues I bought a new copy and wish that I had given it the credence it deserves at that time. It is well written, simple but informative in its information and excellently presented. The book is a tribute to the depth of knowledge that Dr. D'Adamo has.

Pleased so far...

I ordered this book because some of my co-workers are on this diet. So far, I have replaced several major food items the book suggested I stop eating with other foods. I actually have lost weight and have more energy. I will continue to do so with other foods.

I think this diet worth considering, especially by those with allergies as I have. I'm hoping for a long-term solution and am keeping an open mind that this will help.

Editorial Review :

Raúl de Molina siempre había sido gordo y esto no le molestaba ni lo acomplejaba; al contrario, era un gordo feliz. Sin enbargo, tras librar una batalla contra el cáncer, tomó conciencia de que debía bajar de peso y que esto sólo podría lograrlo cambiando radicalmente su alimentación.

Con mucho esfuerzo y fuerza de voluntad, y ante el asombro y orgullo de sus familiares y de los adeptos a su programa El Gordo y la Flaca, ha bajado 70 libras en ocho meses sin la necesidad de medicamentos ni operaciones; lo ha logrado con ejercicio y modificando sus hábitos alimentícios.

Por primera vez, el afamado presentador de televisión comparte en forma abierta e íntima una mezcla de circunstancias familiares y de trabajo que siempre convirtieron la comida en uno de sus más grandes placeres, sin saber el efecto que esto tendría en su salud. Sin perder su sentido de humor, “El Gordo”, como lo siguen llamando cariñosamente, guía al lector sobre los factores básicos para lograr este objectivo: “¿Qué debes comer?”, “¿Cuántas veces al día puedes comer?” y “¿En qué cantidades?”

Ademá, el libro incluye un menú tipo, una rutina de ejercicios básica, un listado de alimentos que no deben faltar en tu dispensa, así como consejos prácticos y útiles para mantenerse en forma y evitar el tan temido “rebote”.

Customer Review :

Más que un libro de dietas

Quiero contarles que "La Dieta del Gordo" es mucho más que un libro de dietas. "El Gordo" nos sorprende con un libro inspirador, entretenido y práctico, claro sin perder su característico humor, donde nos cuenta su vida desde un ángulo muy particular, su convivencia y gusto por la comida desde niño hasta que tomó la decisión de perder peso y cambiar su estilo de vida después de sufrir de cáncer. El presentador de El Gordo y la Flaca de Univision explica en forma clara y amena las bases de su dieta y su rutina de ejercicios con la que perdió 70 libras SIN PASAR HAMBRE, y ofrece consejos prácticos que muy poco aparecen en un libro de este tipo, por ejemplo, cómo mantener la dieta y la rutina de ejercicios en horarios de trabajo complicados, qué hacer cuando viajas y cuando sales a los restaurantes y qué hacer con la ropa cuando pierdes peso, entre otros. El menú básico para 30 días es nutritivo, delicioso y cualquiera puede adaptarlo a su presupuesto, lo que es muy importante en estos tiempos. Raúl mismo dice que quiere que pierdan libras no dinero. Pero considero que el aporte más grande de este libro es el capítulo dedicado a los padres hispanos, donde les hace recomendaciones para fomentar en sus hijos una vida sana e impedir que la obesidad se siga propagando como una plaga en nuestra comunidad. Esta dieta y este libro es para hombres y mujeres de cualquier edad y de cualquier ocupación, que quieren darse una nueva oportunidad en la vida.

Customer Review :

technical and cumbersome

I have only had time to look through the book but it seems very technical and cumbersome, even for someone who had read and studied about the best way to eat for almost 30 years. It doesn't seem to be arranged very well and you have to know exactly what you are looking for to find anything.

Rating :

Amazing book

Absolutely wonderful source of information for anyone wanting to know ins and outs of foods we eat. This is the type of book I personally refer to every day. It's the ultimate dictionary on foods, which also provides basics of correctly cooking them, storing them etc.
If you want to know what each food contains, how it affects health, and the most effective way to preserve the nutrients, this book is for you.

Excellent Cookbook/ Nutrition Book

This book is a great little package - it's certainly not something you can thumb through and look for recipes like an ordinary cookbook, instad the recipes are found every few pages by food type. My husband remarked that it was like a tomb when I took it out of the box. I think the greatest thing about this book though is that the recipes really do take just 10 to 15 minutes and they taste amazing! The author said he didn't put one food in that was healthy but unpleasant tasting and he was right!
