I ordered this book 4 days ago, and tracked my order yesterday. It said I was suppose to get it tomorrow, then I checked it again today and now it says I will be getting it in 9-13 days. I called Amazon and they are telling me I will be getting it on 9/10/08, that is 13 days excluding weekends and holidays.
I have ordered other products before and have gotten them on time or earlier on the date that they had on the tracking info. This is the first time they will take twice as long. Disappointed! I pray that it comes sooner.
The customer service people are from India and because I am hard-of-hearing, it was EXTREMELY difficult and frustrating for me to understand them. They started shouting and I cannot understand people shouting. I sense they were mocking me and I know they were not. They do not understand deaf or hard-of-hearing people because their comprehension and enunciation was very poor. It took twice as long to understand each other.
Today (9/5/08) I checked my mail and called USPS about my package, it is still SITTING in Coffeyville, KS they do not have a clue why it is. I did call Amazon to notify them. I did worked for USPS (20 years, retired now) and I am embarrassed by them that they could not give me a better explanation. I also told them that UPS(United Parcel Service)have given good delivery services using the FREE Super Saver Shipping, my packages were delivered on time or earlier. Why did they change delivery services for the FREE Super Saver Shipping? I am stupefied. USPS has always been slow moving. Amazon is telling me to use the paid services (UPS) to deliver faster. What! (fake) Hahahaha!
I want to rate the book with 4 STARS. After several weeks of waiting for the book to finally arrive. (October 11, 2008) I started reading the book immediately, it’s pretty much the lifestyle I adopted to due to some medical conditions I have. I like the recipes very much and I tried the menu plans, too. I started using the recipes and they are good. There are a few ingredients that were hard to find, I found them at Whole Foods market here in Arizona.
My health has improved a lot. I was able to decrease one of my diabetes medications and my blood sugars have been completely under control 24/7. In fact, I might have to drop one or two soon. My RA also has changed, even though I haven’t really had pain but occasionally, I don’t experience pain anymore. The fatigue from RA is a lot less, I may have it once a week instead of every day. And I’m losing weight healthfully and normally slow (2-3 lbs/wk).

It’s not what I thought it would be. I just didn’t like it. But others may.

Extremely helpful and informative. I’m no only hoping to lose weight but I’m also hoping to help my problems with acid reflux. This is a wonderful book.

For those of us who have struggled with our weight for the majority of our lives, we know that simply cutting back on our calories and fat ain’t gonna cut it. When most people get exacerbated by the continued failure of these kind of diets, they turn to weight loss pills or surgery instead. Not good!
That’s where Dr. Cathy Wong’s The Inside-Out Diet comes in. Instead of focusing on the weight loss (which will still happen, by the way!), this plan gets people to eat for the sake of their health instead by consuming a nutritional program that will allow your liver to function better than it ever has before. Yes, this is a detoxification diet, but it’s so much more.
I especially enjoyed the step-by-step approach of this diet looking at every possibility for why you might not be losing weight, including food allergies and intolerances, stress, excessive insulin production, and more. It’s as if Dr. Wong takes you by the hand to assure you that we WILL get to the bottom of your obesity problem and attack it from “the inside-out.”
For fans of recipes, Dr. Wong includes 50 of her favorites in the back of the book. She earnestly believes in the slow, methodical approach to weight loss because it’s about eating healthier first and foremost. If more people took on this philosophy of eating primarily for the sake of their health, then obesity rates would drop faster than they ever have before.

Book Review: The Inside Out Diet by Cathy Wong, ND, CNS
Dr. Cathy Wong, naturopathic doctor and nutritionist with ten years of research, clinical, and research experience in alternative medicine, has written The Inside Out Diet. She also is a featured contributor in Woman’s Day, Woman’s World, Body+Soul, and other publications. Notably, Dr. Wong is the guide to Alternative Medicine at About.com where her weekly newsletter is read by almost 100,000 readers.
Why begin on the inside? Dr. Wong’s diet starts with her own experience. As a university student, she ate poorly, eating quick foods and gaining weight. At age 24 she was informed that her cholesterol was borderline high; the following day she began her liver-cleansing diet. Her health and energy rejuvenated quickly. Dr. Wong improved her life from the inside-out, beginning with her liver.
Why the liver? The liver is a prominent organ that performs several functions. Dr. Wong states that it regulates blood sugar, makes and burns fat, helps you absorb omega fatty acids, regulates cholesterol, balances key weight-loss hormones, helps maintain muscle tone, and gets rid of fattening toxins. A healthy, clean liver is essential to natural weight loss, total body health, and radiance.
Four weeks are taken in three components: the first is a simple gentle detoxification of the liver, the second involves tackling ongoing weight loss, the third strides onward with maintenance of an established weight.
Highlights from The Inside Out Diet:
“Helps you lose weight safely, continuously, and permanently
Improves liver function and decreases fatty liver
Restores insulin and leptin sensitivity
Improves cholesterol and triglyceride levels
Eliminates unhealthy cravings
Decreases risk factors for heart disease
Re-establishes hormonal balance
Improves overall health”
Dr. Wong also addresses supplements, exercise, relaxation, sleep, a healthy home, cleansing the colon, checking for food intolerances, and the risks and hazards of diets. It is a realistic approach that works with the American diet.
The recipes, more than fifty, were provided by celebrity chef Sabra Ricci, who is known for her delicious menus and clientele. She too has been a contributor to Woman’s Day, Self, and Spa magazines. Her monthly column appears at AOL Living. The recipes range from breakfast to dessert and are very appetizing, samples–Southwestern Egg Cups, Lamb Curry, Lemon Cream with Raspberries, Blueberry Granola Crisp.
The Inside Out Diet, with a beautiful green cover and orchid photo, is well worth reading. Dr. Wong doesn’t just tell the reader to lose weight, but explains how and why. Most importantly, she’s focused on the liver, defining its necessity for weight loss and health.
Open up the book and read it from the inside out.
