I just started this diet, and have no idea why it works, but it does. I have been losing 1 lb a week, am not hungry, and for the first time am not cheating. no craving for sweets. its truly amazing. I have been up/down with 10-15 lbs my whole adult life, and for the first time the weight is coming off easily. My only question - can this be maintained? what does maintenance mode look like?

The CON argument below is incorrect as the bread is light bread not the normal sliced bread .

Also those with an intolerance to gluten compose less than 2-3% of the population which leaves one with 97% of the population that can use it!

CON
Servings of bread is extreme
Not practical for those with an intolerance to gluten

It works!! I was desperate to find a diet that actually works because i have a low thyroid problem plus another issues that make weight loss almost impossible for me ,I'm on this diet for five weeks & lost about 4 pounds*(since on the weekends i not following exactly the diet & the weight goes up)& already people ask me what i did!!!meaning you lose also inches pretty fast!!the Author does recommend exercise,walking ,swimming etc..

I've been on this diet for 19 months and have lost 93 lbs. I'm now at my goal weight and on maintenance. Please be aware that you must follow the diet religiously (as written by Ms. Raz) and that you need a lot of patience. It's a slow process. I also recommend a support group. Most importantly, this is not a diet - it a diet for LIFE.

Amazing concept ... seems unreal but it works way beyond one's initial expectations. The concept is what's important & the diet does not have to be strictly followed for it to work. Just apply it suggestively based on it's guide lines & it still will help you to lose one pound about every three days. Mind blowing results to say the least.I still can't believe this concept actually works, but it does.

This diet has transformed my attitude to food. I have always liked good bread. I make my own wholemeal. I worked it out that I can have 12ozs of bread per day. This works for me. On the start programme I used thin beef spread, peanut butter, avacado, loads of veggies, and was NEVER hungry.
Now my moods are not swinging all over the place. I have loads more energy and feel that I have my eating under control. No more cravings for grand daughter's Percy Piglets!! Worth trying if you like bread.

As a former low (often 0) carber I can w/out reservation. The Atkins/low carb diet not only is very unhealthy its not anywhere near as effective as hyped to be. I'm a bodybuilder and another total BS sacred cow is you need massive amounts of protein to grow muscle which is wrong. More protein than avg, yes, but 1gr per lb of bodyweight is very hard on the kidneys.

Bread for life is scientifically sound since it maintains a high seratonin level which is essential to losing weight long term w/out falling to temptation.

it is actually 12 slices of light bread, which means 6 servings of bread.
and it is 2-3 teaspoons, not tablespoons, of oive oil daily.
and it ia the first phase. the second phase is more elaborate :-)

I went on this diet about a year ago and lost about 15 pounds. I tried to go back on it and I do not lose at all. I really don't know what happened becasue I am doing exactly what I did before. Any comments?

I just got the book. I've been frustrated by other diets and when I heard about this diet, I got excited because I LOVE BREAD! So, I'm gonna give it a shot and I'll write back in a week to see if it works for me...

I've been on this diet for 5 days and have lost 3 pounds. It's a great diet for me because I like whole grain bread and the frequent meals keep me from feeling hungry. The 12 slices of light bread is the equivalent of 5-6 slices of regular bread. This seems like a very healthy eating program that's not too rigid.

I did this for a week, and lost 3 lbs....going to continue, will let you know how it goes.

Reader

There is a little misconception about all that bread.... When the author says 12 slices of bread a day, she explains in the book, that it's light bread- about 30/35 calories per slice, as opposed to regular bread 80-120 calories per slice... So if you're sckeptical, read the book first- That's what I'm doing (borrowed from local library)

I think it sounds to good to be true about eating bread for life, everything I read is about going low carb, less breat, less pasta. I'm gonna try it and let you know how it goes.

Eat 10 servings of bread? That is a diet I can get behind! Goodbye atkins... Well maybe not. Has any tried this diet?
