Over the years I have done this diet, always with great success. About to give it another go.
I like that your blood sugar levels are regulated. Easy to follow.

I have been on a variation of this diet for 20 years. I went on it in a strict way for the first three weeks and lost 13 pounds. I stayed away from the wrong foods, and continued eating soft and hard chews. I now can splurge occasionally without gaining weight, but I know I need to exercise a little more to make up for it. There are so silver bullets when it comes to diets - if you've eaten too much or the wrong foods, you have to work at getting it off. Americans expect everything at the push of a button, but his one has worked for me. I recommend it highly.

I've read the book, and I've discovered, from what she says about the food plan, that I would not lose weight. I'd be off the diet before noon the first day, because I would feel ravenously hungry. And if I somehow made it through day one without breaking the diet, day two would be even worse.?

She suggests the same crap everyone else does. Rice cakes and turkey? Tasteless sawdust.

Shredded wheat and 1% milk? Tasteless CARDBOARD!

In other words, not a diet I could make work. No way, no how.

This diet helped me lose weight when nothing else could. I found that sugar and flour were addictive for me. I had heard of this many times, as we all have, but didn't believe it until I followed this program. I had no cravings whatsoever. I was able to eat everything I loved: just not all at the same time. If all the other diets didn't work for you, try this one. You owe it to yourself. I learned that I can eat everything I enjoy if I am honest. The blood sugar balance is where it's at for me. I think we all know exercise is healthy for us: the use it or lose it philosophy is as real as blood sugar.

I've had this book for over 10 years. The first time I picked it up, I never put it down until I was finished. As the title states, I lost 5 lbs in the first week. After that, I continued to lose, and it was so easy to follow. We americans in general, eat too much, and don't know what we're eating most of the time. This book gets you thinking about how food effects your mind, and body. The results are stunning.

I used this diet many years ago and it really worked. I eventually went off of it and worked on maintaining my weight with eating high fiber, portion controlled meals along with exercise. While I did not stay on this diet "for life" it did give me the boost I needed.

This is an amazing diet that promotes whole foods, lean proteins, lots of vegetables, and plenty of water. I exercise A LOT. I have never had a weight problem, but I call myself the Whale Inside, because I have always craved sweets, and sugar, and potatoes, and pasta. I don't allow myself to indulge because when I do, I cannot stop. There are times the cravings have overwhelmed me so horribly that I have ended up eating a whole 1/2 gallon of ice cream by myself. I am filled with so much self-loathing wondering, why can't I control myself. In the meantime, I bike, I run, I lift. I am all of 120 lbs of lean muscle mass. If you looked at me, you would think I didn't have any problem with overeating. So, this book has changed my life by helping me to curb my cravings, stop feeling so tired, and helped me completely lose all the processed foods out of my life. I don't eat a lot of processed foods, but now I eat none. So, I disagree with Sean. Yes, exercise is huge in maintaining that lean muscle mass, but if you are not a person with the Metabolic Mix-Up, you cannot even understand where Adele is coming from. She is the only person who has ever addressed ME, and understood ME. I am a 46 year old Metabolic Mix Up who has felt like the Whale Inside for all these years, while wearing a size 2. So there. It doesn't matter what you look like on the outside if on the inside you know your chemistry is screwed up. I want to feel good, inside and out.

I did this diet after my son was born 12 years ago. I worked like magic, and I was never hungry. After I fell "off the wagon" it took me over 5 years to start gaining weight again, probably due to the fact that I had learned to eat well doing this plan. No hunger at all after the first 5 days. Now...I am going to start again. Need to lose just 20 pounds and I know that this plan will refocus me and put the emphasis again on healthy eating. I hope to lose the 20 pounds in a healthy 2 months. I will post again then.

I have tried this diet a few years back, and loved the way it works and the way I felt. I made it my lifestyle, and have been sticking to it from now on. I managed to shed those annoying last 5 kg and keep it off! I think it's the only sound diet plan that humanity have thought of.

There is a good section on exercise, although it's a bit general. But let's not forget this book mostly is about eating right, and if you need a good fitness plan, you should get professional advice or read on fitness.

What no one mentioned in this review, is the section on phychology and emotional eating. This chapter helped me understand the emotions behind my overeating and eating junk.

I loved this diet. This is the only diet book I have ever bought that I tried and it worked. Folks who are negative against it failed to mention that a couple of times a week you get to eat a food you absolutely love. For me this was huge! It is not true that she doesn't mention exercise; there is a whole section of the book on exercise. I walked every day. Also, the year I strayed off, two tragic events happned to me within one year. I started feeding my emotions and simply didn't stop. But I will say this. It took me 2 years to even begin to gain the weight back because this diet was such a good diet metabolically. I am on day 1 now, after 13 years, and really looking forward again to the great energetic feeling I had before.

I started this eating plan the day after my birthday (March 7) when I weighed 221 lbs. I weighed myself on May 2 and I weighed 190 lbs!! This is a fabulous loss of 31 lbs. I feel great, and I have more energy. The hardest part will now be to try and find my maintenance level so I don't gain the weight back, and so I don't lose more weight. I want to stay at 190 lbs.

I almost could not finish reading this article because it was bothering me so much. I am no diet expert or anything, but it doesn't take one to realize that this diet is a terrible thing to promote to the public. We Americans have become obsessed with getting results without hard work.

This diet will no doubt cause you to lose wieght, but its not a diet that the human body can last with. Eventually you will break and gain the wieght on twice as fast. Additionally, this diet does not promote exercise, which is the number one way to lose weight. Having no time to work out is not a good excuse. I am a member of a crossfit affiliate and I workout 3 intense hours a week, thats it. The average american watches 3 hours of TV per day. How messed up is that? haha

I follow two rules to keep myself in shape and healthy. 1) Excercise. I recommend joining a local crossfit gym. Being a crossfitter I am biased, but I say it is the best bang for your buck. It is fun too. 2) Eat! Do not starve yourself. Eat fats and carbs and proteins. Your body needs them all to work right. The key is good fats and carbs. Eat nuts instead of chips, and eggs instead of a bagel with cream cheese. There are many ways to keep your apetite satisfied and body healthy. Google the "primal diet" and take in some of the valuable info it has to offer.

These 2 rules will lead to a very healthy and energized lifestyle. Where as this 5 day "miracle diet" will only leave you hungary and disappointed in the long run.

Also, drink as much water as you can! A hydrated body is a happy body!

Let's see I started the program July 13 2009 My brother had bought me the book and wanted me to read it didn't want me to do the plan but read the book. Once I read the book I decided I could do it. I was obese out of shape and couldn't breathe. In 4 months I had lost 38 Lbs felt wonderful and enjoyed my grandchildren immensely.could actually play with them. Now here it is 6 months in and I have lost a total of 67 lbs. Still on maintenence but much easier than the first 3 months. Everything just comes naturally now as far as eating. I do eat the things I love 1 or 2 times a week, but its great. All of my friends want my book, but I won't give it up, its like a lifesaver to me. With any eating program you have to be ready and you have to want to lose the weight. In 6 months I've only gained 1 Lb during thanksgiving and 3 lbs over Christmas, but they are already gone again. I recommend this program wholeheartedly. Thank You Adele for such a good program. As far as exercise I walked 2 miles a day also. Since November though I am unable to walk from planters facitis, but I bicycle 20 minutes a day now.

For all of you who gave this plan a thumbs down...IT REALLY WORKS!!!! I started the plan and lost 4 lbs the first week and 3 the next. I lost on average 10 lbs per month...I reached my goal in 3 months...sure the 1st 5 daysare a little hard but it is worth it. If I carved anything in the 1st 5 days I chewed sugar free gum. By the 6th day I was in good blood sugar and smooth sailing from then on. I would recommend this to anyone who really wants to lose weight!
