Rating: - Cannot really recommend this diet.
This falls in the "diets don't work" file. I cannot say it is based on anything more than common sence.

Actualy a doctor told me about it and then having read it I couldn't figure why he put any stock in it at all.

I recommend the old standard. Eat less, exercise more. If you do it then it works...rather simple and basic. Save your money on this one.

Rating: - On Week 3 of the Flavor Point Plan
The benefits of this plan for me are as follows:

(1) Focus on nutrition - the plan focuses on what you should eat everyday and it is healthy (not just weight reducing). This means the whole family can eat together and it is good for all of us. My wife can continue the plan when she gets pregnant - they are balanced meals designed for a healthy lifestyle.

(2) Written around what you should eat - rather than a laundry list of stuff you can't eat, the plan lists each day's meals and snacks. I am constantly eating something healthy (and have all snacks planned) - and that is a very effective technique to keep me from eating junk.

(3) Rather than forcing us to sign-up for a meal plan where we purchase from a company, the plan provides a list of different brands and ingredient lists that you can choose from. The author isn't on a particular company's payroll, but he does provide brand names to simplify shopping.

During the first 2 weeks of the plan, I dropped 5 pounds. This is a healthy rate of weight loss. And my family and I all feel good as well.

Rating: - learn to be healthy and enjoy it!
I am a nutritionist and this book is wonderful! It provides a safe and sane way to diet and learn the proper way to eat for a lifetime. I especially like that it introduces flavors in a way that really acquaints the user with the fullness each product offers. I will keep this handy and use it often!

Rating: - Foods might be delicious but at what price?
Took one look at the food combinations and I knew this book was going to make me sick.
Starches and sugars = alcohol in the digestive track = a lot of gas = pain.
And it might be better than eating junk food.

Concept is good, jury will be out until I actually have time to follow the plan.
