By J. Dawson VINE™ VOICE

If you have struggled with your weight and/or energy levels, if you have ever wished that there was a secret to solvign these problems and that someone would come along and let you in on it, now is the time. Do yourself a favour and buy this book. Once you follow the Schwarzbein plan, you will never look back.

I ate a relatively healthy diet (or so I thought - low fat, high carbs) for years and gained 4 stone in the process. My energy levels were low, I napped as often as my schedule allowed but was still exhausted before 10 at night, had bad headaches almost daily. I went from no exercise to working out 4-6 times a week and even after 18 months could not shift the excess weight.

Then I tried this and I've become a Schwarzbein bore, singing the praises of this plan to anyone who will listen. I have been following it (though not always strictly) for about 3 months. So far I have lost about 1 1/2 stone but it's creeping down all the time. Equally impressive is that my energy levels have risen, my headaches have all but disappeared, I never need a nap to get through the day, I even wake up feeling rested before the alarm goes off most days. And that's not all: I am regularly told how well I look, how healthy and how much slimmer, and how clear my skin looks. Exercising is much more of a pleasure now and the meals are delicious. The eating plan is very easy to follow and I even find I enjoy shopping now, as I am able to seek out the highest quality ingredients and buy lots of lovely rich food that I denied myself for years.

I cannot stress enough how good this book is, how intuitive the plan, how easy to follow, and how much better you will feel. If you struggle with weight or energy problems BUY THIS BOOK. You will not regret it and it will probably change your life too.

This book explains how the foods you eat affect your body on the cellular level. You'll be amazed how a low-fat, low-protein, high carbohydrate diet negetively affects your metabolism. I must admit that I was nervous to try this plan. I've grown up with the idea that a healthy diet is one that is high in carbohydrates and low in fats. I felt strange-sort of light headed- the first few days (I went cold turkey - no coffee, sugar, or flour products), but I stuck it out and now I feel incredible. I'm not a fanatic about all her advice and restrictions, yet I've still seen results. I didn't really have much weight to lose, but I have one of those scales that measures your body fat percentage, and I have watched those numbers steadily drop. I went down two dress sizes in about a month (though my weight hasn't changed too much) and I feel great. I highly recommend this book to anyone who finally wants to stop fooling around with all those fad diets and wants to make a healthy lifestyle change.

If you read this book you may never be the same again. You will be changed for the better - forever. I bought this because my friend lost 31lbs in the first year, and another 21 pounds by June the following year. When I saw her this Christmas she was gorgeous, svelte, glowing with health, full of energy. It seemed incongruous to see her tucking into hearty meals while I was starving on a lettuce leaf and losing nothing!

It is early days for me, but after only five weeks I have lost nine pounds. That is nothing! In those weeks I have been feeling well for the first time in many years. I don't fall asleep the whole time. I can run after my small toddler, even though I don't weigh that much less. I seem to have become fitter. I can breathe. I have almost stopped using my asthma inhaler, no longer need my stomach coating tablets, have had no twinge from my gallbladder (which I was expecting to explode), and have been free of headaches (the bane of my life!) What IS going on? To be able to give up so many prescription medicines so quickly? Even if I never lose another pound, this will be worth it.

I have bought five copies of this book for other people - people I love who might be in the same damaging low fat trap I was. I am astonished that doctors do not mention this diet - even when it is patently clear that a patient is faring badly on all the usual regimes.

Did I mention the food is wonderful? It's everything you fantasised about when you were on a low fat diet, and more. I am NEVER hungry. I am NEVER bored with the food. I can ALWAYS find something to eat in restaurants. Only YOU can tell you are eating diet food - it looks like a regular meal to other people, in fact a rich meal!

Whether you adopt this way of life or not, the book is invaluable for its clear description of how the body works, and what happens when it goes wrong. I feel much more confident now in discussing things with my doctor, and challenging her preconceptions.

For anyone with a health problem, big or small, from lack of energy to full blown diabetes, this book is a must.

(It also contains everything you need to plan your new diet, including shopping lists, food values, and many very delicious, quick and easy recipes.)
