It's a very good book for learning what to look for and watch out for on nutrition labels, learning how to space out your meals to optimize their benefit to you, and developing a well rounded basic workout routine. The only downfall I found is preference for chemicals in place of natural fats, for example I don't eat margarine or low fat mayonaise as sugested, and I buy 1 or 2 percent yogurt, milk, and cottage cheese and regular mayonaise because small amounts of the natural fats are a necessary part of healthy eating.I read the Abs Diet in 2007 and learned a lot, in fact it's one of the things that helped keep me at my prepregnancy 155 lbs, unfortunately I've been maintaining my healthy weight so long I don't know how to loose weight. The change of lifestyle that came with having a newborn has me at 177 lbs that's overweight and unhealthy.
My plan is to read the abs diet again, in the back of my mind I sort of thought I'm still incorporating the ideas from the book into my life, but if I'm honest with myself I know it's not true, my diet and lifestyle needs an examination and redirection. I don't think ten oreo cookies, or ten christmas goodies, or fifteen chocolates throughout my day on a regular basis where a part of the plan.
So, to some extent I followed the eating plan today. Exept for the Trix I had for breakfast... but that's not super bad cause I didn't eat a lot and I've been eating good portions at the right times the rest of the day. I need to do food shopping again soon so I'll be getting all kinds of good supplies for healthy eating on this plan.
