Ann Louise Louise GittlemanThe 40/30/30 Phenomenon

very interesting and very easy to read, love the part the tells about how your blood type tells how you can lose weight and the way different types crave and lose differently!!!

Using the list to watch intake of good and bad carbs. Good to use for balancing your meals. Worth the money spent.

nice concept

This is the first book on dieting that I have actually ever read past the third page. I read it from cover to cover in one sitting. Not only does the information make perfect sense, it works. I went from a size 10 to a size 4 in three months and I even cheated a little. I had started reading other information on low-carb diets, but most of it was so strict, I don't know how anyone with a family could stick to them. I am a true believer in this balanced way of low-carb eating. I have purchased about 10 of these books just to give out to friends. If you are serious about changing your eating habits permanently and maintaining your desired weight, this is a perfect place to start.

I LOST 37 LBS. ON THIS DIET. It is great. I used 40/30/30 bars and shakes alot, because I love them. They were live savers. I am on the go a lot and it really helped to stay in the zone. I have more energy and vitality. I am more positive and alert. I would love to share what worked for me. Feel free to write.Debbie

The book may be easy to read and a good overview of the ZONE diet plan, but... the first recipe I've tried, vegetarian lasagna, turned out to be a disaster. To begin with, the ingredient list is faulty. It calls for 3 tablespoons of Italian seasoning, but in the procedure, you only use 3 teaspoons. It then tells you to blend the cottage cheese until smooth - what cottage cheese - it was never on the ingredient list? Finally, right when you now know something is definetly off with the recipe and your assembling the noodles, etc. - IT DOESN'T FIT IN THE PAN. So much for 40/30/30 for tonight's dinner and the two hours in the kitchen. The recipe was a good idea and I'm interested in a solution if you ever read this Ms. Gittleman.

This book was a good little summary on the 40/30/30 diet that was simple to understand.

I needed something to get me started and this book was just the thing. This book explains the principles clearly and simply and gives you just enough to get started and want to learn more.
