5.0 out of 5 stars A very livable weight control program for people of any age, 22 Sep 1998

By A Customer

This review is from: The Carbohydrate Addict's Lifespan Program: Personalized Plan for Becoming Slim, Fit and Healthy in Your 40s, 50s, 60s and Beyond (Mass Market Paperback)

This book is a follow-on to the Hellers' earlier Carbohydrate Addicts Diet. This one is much clearer than the earlier book, and despite the title, it's a good plan for adults of any age. What the Hellers outline is less a diet than a treatment plan for people who feel like they have no willpower or find themselves constantly snacking or heading back to the fridge an hour or two after a full meal. Guess what, folks? It ain't willpower, it's your body's inability to properly handle a steady diet of starches and sweets. The Hellers are swimming in the same pond as Atkins, Barry Sears and the Eades, but their program is far more livable than any of the other low-carb diets. I've been following it for 3+ years and am maintaining a 97 pound weight loss -- and best of all, I feel normal around food for the first time in my life. It works, guys!

5.0 out of 5 stars No more pain!, 3 Dec 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Carbohydrate Addict's Lifespan Program: Personalized Plan for Becoming Slim, Fit and Healthy in Your 40s, 50s, 60s and Beyond (Mass Market Paperback)

After many years of severe indigestion after eating food and popping antiacid tablets sometimes as much as 6 times a day this diet has cured it in one day. You cannot believe the relief after all this time.

4.0 out of 5 stars An easy way of eating for all ages!, 3 Aug 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: The Carbohydrate Addict's Lifespan Program: Personalized Plan for Becoming Slim, Fit and Healthy in Your 40s, 50s, 60s and Beyond (Mass Market Paperback)

This is an easy to follow low-carb way of eating which is easy to maintain for a lifetime. I have lost almost 50 lb. in 6 months. I am still loosing a few oz. a week - instead of gaining 3 pounds a year. There is no counting involved. This diet is especially good for people that have PCOS,insulin resistence or are diabetic. This diet does not put you into ketosis! There is nothing dangerous about it. I will never have to worry about my weight again! I am a new person!! And I feel better than I have in YEARS!

This way of eating was hard to adjust to for the first few months but now I could not even imagine going back to the way I used to eat (lots of pasta, etc). It was much like a vegetarian must make a conscious effort to change the their way of eating, but now it is second nature. Now if only the airlines would have a choice of low-carb meals!
