Takes the "Diet" out of "Dieting"

After years of accumulating tips/advice on dieting, I bought this book and had to un-learn everything I believed - lost weight/re-gained health. I replaced aspertaine, splenda and imitation foods for real/whole foods. The result was loss of hunger and consistent weight loss. At first, I used the diet under the guildelines of the weight-watcher point system. The book is a great starter book for dieters using the Hay System for weight loss ~ then expand on knowledge with other more advanced books, such as the food combining bible. If you truly want to lose weight and hate the feeling of being deprived... this works!

A seemingly complicated subject made easy!

I love this book! I had heard a lot about the Hay diet, as it is very popular in my native Germany. However, it seemed too complicated for me to even try it. But after lots of other failed attempts to control my weight, and especially with the realization that not a diet, but a lifestyle change was needed, I gave it a try. This book explaines the principles of food combining clearly and, what's more, gives a two week example plan and lots of very tasty recipes that are easy to follow and to make. The portions are generally too large for me which means leftovers and less cooking. And while I am eating to my heart's content, I am losing weight. It is quite remarkable. Because this book makes it so easy to adopt this way of eating into my every-day life, I feel I have finally found the right "diet" for me.
