(More customer reviews)If I were to recommend one diet book of the dozens I have read over the years, this would be it. The book helps break down the day into about 6 smallish to medium meals, which is in stark contrast to the 3 large meals most Americans eat while snacking on junk trying not to starve in-between.
They lay out all of the healthy foods, including plenty of snack choices. While a lot of this is basic info for the experienced dieter, actually putting it to use gets plenty of results. For the first week or so of following the new meal style, I felt so full (a feeling I was unaccustomed to) that I was almost queasy. But after a week, your stomach adjusts and you'll never have that empty gnawing hunger feeling again!
I started working out two weeks before I started following these diet layouts, so after 6 weeks of exercise (4 weeks on the new meal plan) I have lost over 15 pounds and 6 inches off my waistline. I'm still a big girl, but I've already dropped 4 pants sizes! I have my favorite 'fat jeans' set aside for one of those annoying after pictures - where I'll look like someone trying on MC Hammer pants.
For an easier change to the plan - start small, adding snacks like apples and baby carrots with peanut butter and have a small salad right before dinner and there's no way NOT to lose weight. The only disagreement I have is in the way this diet views fat, I allow for a bit more in my day (but limited to the days I work out).
If anyone else out there is having success with this book, leave a review - reading them is not only fun but inspirational!

Lose up to two pounds a week by filling up on the foods you love. As any dieter can attest, the downfall of most weight-loss plans is the nagging feeling of hunger that sets in after weeks of enduring strict portion control and a lack of variety in the foods you are "allowed" to eat. What's missing from nearly every diet is the most important aspect of success-satisfaction. But this doesn't simply mean gorging your stomach-satiety is about eating foods that aid digestion, help nutrient absorption, boost your metabolism, and provide the flavor and diversity that will curb your cravings. Fill Up to Slim Down includes food charts and menu plans that will show readers how to create meals that balance high- and moderate-satiety foods-those that are high in fiber, protein, and complex carbohydrates; rich in antioxidants; and low in fat-and even allows low-satiety treats like French fries and cake! Informed by Dr. Diethrich's thirty years of clinical experience, this regimen can help dieters lose up to two pounds a week and keep their heart healthy. Popular cookbook author Jyl Steinback provides 120 recipes for the whole family, which will keep dieters on track for long-term weight loss.
