Same old same old with a new package. Reduce calories and exercise. Anyone can lose weight by reducing their calories intake below 2000 per day. I’ve read it…to late to return it. Skip buying the book and just reduce your calorie count below 2000 and use the money to buy better food.

Although I haven't bought the "for men" version of this book, I'm betting that it's not too different from the original "for women" version. And if you're looking through diet books, you're probably looking for a plan that works.

The bottom line is that it works. My husband lost 7 pounds in 5 days, and went on to loose another 10. And yes, it did appear to shrink his abdominal fat - targeting the most dangerous weight. And he was able to stick with the plan easily. The meals are filling because of the fats included in the recipes.

The diet has two sets of recipes. During the first four days, you eat a highly restrictive diet designed to flush all digestive irritants that could cause gas, ditch the salt to reduce bloating, etc. The rest of the diet has much more interesting recipes. If you can't handle a chicken breast on brown rice with a cup of green beans, just skip straight to this part. You'll still loose weight. And if you'd prefer, just skip this book and buy the flat belly RECIPE book. I make some of them for guests that come to our home, they're that good.

This diet is really not a diet, but a way of eating. My husband loves it! He loves the food and it is really easy. I am eating much of the same things and we both feel the difference. Lots of energy. We have only been following it for a week, so I am excited to see what happens at the end of the 30 days. There are fantastic recipes in the book, that don’t even seem like “diet” food! Highly recommend it!

I purchased this for my boyfriend and I also purchased the “Flatbelly Diet” and I can say this has been one lifestyle change that we can live with. The recipes are great. The exercise plan is something that can fit into any day. Everything is fully explained and the shopping lists are great. Yay for MUFAs!!!

I bought this book and another one (The Perfect 10 Diet—see my review of this book on the site) recently. I have been reading a few health and diet related books lately and thought I would share my opinion. Well, I can only conclude that as a man, I find this particular book rather disappointing and most unrealistic. We all know that one cannot target a specific area of the body–be it a man or a woman–for specific weight loss. The book was not an informative read and, frankly, very overblown in its claims and choppy in its writing style. I tried a few of the suggested recipes and found them bland. In any case, as a man, I suggest you stay away.
