Throw away whatever you've previously read, take notice of this book 6 April 2010

By Mr. G. Mead

Format:Paperback

I was lucky enough to have been asked to take part in the practical trial prior to publication of this book.

I am please to state that for me, waist disposal definately works and by following the principals outlined in the book, it will work for anyone.

Throw away what you've previously read or have been told. It's not all about the calories, but it's the type of calorie. It's about understanding how the human body has evolved, what we are geared-up to eat and how our body works to process the foods we deliver to it.

This book backs up the theory with case note studies and an explanation of science that is comprehensible to the layman like me. The nutrional science is logical and after understanding how the body adapts to carbohydrate intake, you can understand why you are the shape that you are and importantly, what you can do to change that shape.

It's easy to follow the principals outlined in this book. I changed my gym programme, walked a little further than before and looked more closely at the type of food I took on board. I have changed my lifestyle, cut back on certain foods as recommended and followed a different path from the traditional calorie controlled diet which never produced the promised goal. The results came noticeably quickly, inches off of my waist line, as the theory turns in practice.

As a result of this book I am more aware of the effect that different food groups has on my body and I have the power to control my shape in a positive way.

I suggest that you start with an open mind, disregard all previous diets and embrace the theory's championed in this book.

Exactly what it says on the cover. Buy this book. 1 April 2010

By Big Pete

Format:Paperback

Being a little on the larger size I have tried to lose an inch or two from around the waist over the past few years. I always end up feeling starving hungry and my weight doesn't change much (if anything it goes up as I get more fed up with low cal / low fat food). This book explains why exercise (alone) doesn't help and how to eat well and lose fat. It is well written and has good multi source references to back up the science which is easy to understand.
I followed the book and have lost about a stone in weight and more importantly do not feel hungry.
If you are someone who always feels hungry on a diet, read this book. It will explain why, and will tell you what to do to stop it happening without being evangelical.

It just makes sense... 5 April 2010

By rejory

Format:Paperback

My wife's been a fan of Dr Briffa for a while and bought me this book as a polite way to remind me that I was getting a bit porky!

I've thought about tackling my weight/general health for a while but never really knew which way to turn.
The great thing about this book is it cuts through all the c%*p and makes it really simple to understand what I've been doing and what I need to do to change.
His writing style is easy to follow, contains some great practical advice and is backed up by the science.
I read the book in a weekend and keep dipping back in for recipes and reminders.

I feel fitter and more energetic and reckon i've dropped a bit of weight already.. but I feel like it's a lifestyle change and not a diet - great!!

Highly recommended...

I like the fact this is from a British doctor, other diet and nutrition advice I've read has an American bias and so talks about American food brands etc. Read more

Waist Disposal

Have read many books on diets but this one is ideal for men as you can virtually eat most things. It is also written in a very easy to understand manner in lay terms.

Loved it, easy to read and some real home truths

Thank god this was a British rather than an American book. No preaching, no evangelising just for the first time a lot of clarity for me about what I eat and why I eat it. Read more

What he says makes sense, but hard to put into practice.

As a medical student I was keen to read Dr. Briffa's Waist Disposal, as I thought a doctor's view on weight loss would be quite credible and effective. Read more

Excellent Book

"Waist Disposal" is an excellent book, but first a warning. What you may not know is that it is a shorter version of Dr Briffa's later book, "Escape The Diet Trap". Read more

Fab book

I suggest buying glutamine as a powder and dissolving 1 teaspoon (about 4 g) in about 500 ml of water. This should be sipped throughout the day, particularly between meals. &quote;
