Some woman who lost 170 lbs. and cured all of her health problems just wrote a new book called (funny enough) "The Greatest Diet Book Ever Written." I just bought it and am reading it right now, and so far, it is living up to its name. The before and after pictures of her are absolutely unbelievable. She was over 300 lbs. and nearly died from her obesity, diabetes, PCOS, and other diseases, and then began researching and invented her own food plan, and reached her ideal weight (130 lbs!) and got herself perfectly healthy, WITHOUT surgery or pills, just by eating the right foods. The ideas and theories she talks about are unlike anything I have ever heard and it is very hard to not become an instant believer in her message. I highly recommend this book, written by Holland Ashley. This might be the answer I have been waiting for, after many difficult years of yo-yo dieting. Good luck to all of you who are trying to regain your health and sanity. :)
 
Hello,
Welcome to the forum but I wanted to address something to you.

For your first post, you really shouldn't make it promoting a diet book. We are not that type of site. How about posting about yourself, your goals, what you want to help people with, etc.

Since you didn't link the book or anything, I'm not giving you an infraction or deleting the post, I just wanted you to know it would be better if you actually talked about you.


Additional: Ok, I found this diet book's website and, in my opinion, I wouldn't pay for it based on several claims.

You can eat 3000-5000 calories and maintain your weight for life, and have superior health and energy. (7-day eating for maintenance plan with recipes for maintenance on pg. 230).

The only real way that is possible is if you are a finely tuned athlete. The human body just doesn't burn like that for the average person.

There are foods that are metabolically inert, meaning you can eat 5000 calories of them and never gain an ounce. Why weren’t we told about them when we were falling off our diet and suffering with hunger and cravings?

No such thing. Just not. If you eat 5000 calories, the only way you don't gain an ounce is if your body BURNS 5000 calories as well. Again, you need to be a professional athlete where you exercise as your job for you to burn that many calories every day.

IN THIS BOOK, FIND OUT ABOUT…


The thing in 75% of our foods that is KILLING our health.
The greatest LIE ever told to America about health.
Why having low cholesterol is A LOT MORE DANGEROUS than having high cholesterol.
The REAL culprit behind diabetes and heart disease – and it is NOT what you think.
Why vitamins are a big fat gimmick.
The scary truth about prescription meds and what is really going on behind the scenes.
You can eliminate acne by not eating ONE type of food! (You have never heard this before – guaranteed!)
You can eat up to 5000 calories a day and still LOSE WEIGHT!
Why you don’t need fiber for good colon health!
That all your food cravings have a physiological reason and can be stopped by eating just ONE thing!
Why the Medical Industry has been lying to Americans regarding just about everything!

Here is the thing..this person is just a person. Not a doctor. Not a researcher. Not connected to the medical field in any way. If she really did lose this weight (the pictures looks like something is..odd.), then congrates but to say that she discovered all this stuff to be fact is pretty bad. You can eliminate acne by not eating a type of food? Contrary to what some people think, greasy foods and chocolate have little effect on acne. Studies are ongoing to determine whether other dietary factors — including high-starch foods, such as bread, bagels and chips, which increase blood sugar — may play a role in acne (Mayo Clinic). I STILL have a problem with the 5000 calorie a day claim.


Look, everyone has the choice to buy this book or not, but I hope you do it with an intelligent mind and THINK about these claims before giving someone your money.

This person has been spamming other boards with the exact same post. I imagine to promote the book. (Which judging by the website, I somewhat doubt it is even real, I mean that the book even exists... I imagine this might just be a scam)

The photos are definately not real.
 
I lost weight while eating 5000 calories a day. Of course I had been eating 6000 per day before and had also started recently exercising. I went from 320 pounds to a svelt 290 on my miracle 5k per day diet. (then I gained it all back because I couldn't maintain working out 3 hours a day)

22.14 actually. But strangely enough I never ate candy or deserts back then. My food was mostly things like pasta, burgers, tacos, stuff like that. I ate healthy stuff too. I ate pretty much anything that was put in front of me.

Except seaweed and fish cakes. Hate that, the taste and smell reek of garbage and I can't stand it. yuck
 
What if this book/diet plan REALLY works?

Here is an interesting BLOG you might want to read:



It talks about all the cynicism and skepticism in the world today. Sometimes it seems like people would rather that nothing ever special or good happens in the world because at least they would be right and say, "I told you so." What if someone had actually figured out many of the answers to the health problems of the 21st century? Should we just write it off as being "too good to be true?"

Something to think about...

Thanks,
Sally

It is a lot more likely that if something sounds too good to be true, it is.

People need to be more skeptical today because it is a lot easier to push psuedo-science woo and scams as legit. Day time talk shows and celebrities push these things, even when they border on extremely dangerous (just look at the anti-vaccination groups.)

I think it is safe to say, from a look at the claims above, that this book is BS. While it might include a diet that you can use to lose weight (its simple, eat less duruuuurrrr) the claims are obviously exagerated if not outright lies.
 
Sally,
A blog post about how people shouldn't be doubtful (but by the way, go to her site so you can buy the book) isn't going to change anyone's mind.

give facts, not hype.
give proof, not false hope.
give studies, not an ad campaign.
