We've been doing this diet for about a month. So far, it's great. The book has lots of evidence for why this diet is beneficial not only for weight loss but also for health in general. It also tells how to maintain after you are done losing weight or if you start at a healthy weight not needing to lose weight and just want to adopt the lifestyle to benefit from the changes in your health and longevity

By following Dr. Joe's diet plan my blood sugar and cholesterol dropped exactly as he predicted.  I should have been on a statin, but within 3 months my cholesterol numbers were well within normal range.  I was prediabetic and now I am no longer. (I lost 20 lbs)  I must admit, this was a bit of a lifestyle change for me. I was not eating well at all (fast food, pasta, coffee, energy bars, chips & snacks....)  For me, it really was common sense - eat more fruits and vegetables, less sugar and starch. I don't have much time to cook, but with a little planning over the weekend, I was able to follow the recipes and have food for the week.  Leftovers were better than food first off the stove.  The flavors were amazing and they gave me a whole new appreciation for what I could be/should have been eating.  I would much prefer to adjust my lifestyle a little and eat healthy than just take drugs to solve the problem.  Very happy, I highly recommend this.

Understanding that a diet plan is different for everybody based on their life style, this book, however, provides excellent tips and tricks, as well as a guideline to a healthier life style. Included recipes might not be for everyone if you followed step by step, as they probably will not taste the best. But if you're willing to be adventurous to try out different things based off of these recipes, I'm sure you'll find a healthy meal that you and your family will love. Highly recommended.

One of the not so fun things about aging is that as we age our metabolism slows down quite dramatically.  This diet is designed to get the most out of your metabolism and therefore getting you to eat the foods that are going to help you to naturally burn calories.  This diet requires more cooking than what you may be used to doing .  It includes over 200 recipes so that you have a wide variety of options to adapt to your new lifestyle.

The thought behind the diet is to remove highly processsed foods and to integrate products that are more whole and natural ingredients. As with any diet or new lifestyle change the ultimate key is in knowledge and preperation.  This book gives you the tools and educates you about everything you need to know to integrate a high metabolic diet into your everyday lifestyle.  It also encourages you to eat 5 times a day instead of limiting meals.

The recipes included are really tasty and also includes some great snack recipes.  The book ends with a sample 28 day meal plan for breakfast, dinner, snack and dessert, it also includes tips for eating out and gives you a quick guide to the "dirty dozen" and the clean fifteen.  The book is broken into easy to navigate sections and you can easily find a specific recipe!

I started reading and researching this author for quite a while before I started myself and my husband on this new way of eating. We discussed the reasoning behind his theories and our ability to actually "stick" with the program. I have been a R.N. for over 26 years and seen and heard of a zillion diets with varying results. My husband is in excellent health and was simply about 35 pounds overweight. I,unfortunately was 45 pounds overweight,and in fairly poor health when starting this diet;arthritis, cholesterol issues,blood pressure issues and miagraines. I read and reread this to get it all down in my mind how to proceed before starting,then emptied my cabinets of the wrong foods for us. I bought a small supplement book to take in the grocery stores. A Must to help you stay on track and cuts down on having to write everything down a dozen trips to the store.
 We have been on the Eat Right 4 For Type A eating plan for a month. We do not call it a diet, because we will stay on this forever,not just till we lose weight. My husband has lost 12 pounds and I have lost 7. We are both A's and that was a huge relief to cook the same foods. We feel so much better and have so much more energy. We are both in our mid 50's. We did give up red meat and that alone seemed to push us toward better health in itself. We will strive to stay on the plan of Dr D'Adamo's indefinitely and rarely ever stray from it. Once in a while we eat a piece of grandchildren's birthday cake,or decide we want a cone of ice-cream. We go ahead and have it and then right back to a 99.9% veggie diet with some turkey ,fish and chicken.
 I suggest if you want to remain healthy as you age,or simply want to improve your health this could be the plan that will show you awesome results. Our Doctor is 100% behind us and is happy to see me lose weight and feel better anyway that works in a healthy manner.
We do excerise; I swim and husband walks and does simple dumbbell excerises. I can't say enough to convince you-you need to buy the books, read them and then decide if you will commit to a new healthy way of life. Added vitality,improved alertness,weight loss,less afternoon fatigue,or no abnormal fatigue,plus improved sex life. Come on people what are you waiting for. If you don't know your blood type have your Dr order it for you at the clinic. Even the lab people want to know how we are doing. My medicial issues are much improved and will continue to improve as I stick to the plan.
P.S. Our friends that are very overweight are asking us about our diet-they are now walking and watching what they eat. We are making a positive impact on our entire family and friends. We are in it for the long haul !! You won us over and in Missouri, We are the Show Me State !You showed us.!!
  Thanks Dr D'Adamo.

Fast read and easy to follow diet plan. I'm in my third week of the diet, I've lost ten pounds. One more week to go! I've really enjoyed Haylie Pomroy views on eating real food.

I am not a health nut, never have been, never will be.  But what I like so much about this book is that she explains not a diet but a lifestyle. She makes it easy so that you can incorporate good eating habits in every day life. Eating normal foods from a regular grocery store.  Also you can eat and lose wait, no more starving yourself.  She also incorporates exercise into daily life, not having to spend hours at the gym, you can create your own workout that works the best for your body.

This is a great guide to Quinoa and the Metabolism diet. Quinoa is a superfood because it is plant based, has lots of
protein, calcium, fiber, free radicals to fight cancer and lots of other vitamins and minerals. The author explains what
quinoa is, the history of it and the preparation of it. There are a lot of recipes of all kinds that sound good, have clear
instructions, and should be easy to prepare. There is also a 7 day plan to help you understand how to fit the recipes
into your week. I have seen the exact same information in another book or two probably written by the same author.
My only issue with the recipes is that some are in grams and liters/ml and some are using cups and Tablespoons. I
do not usually see this in normal cookbooks, only ebooks. I would not use the recipes I had to convert everything in
due to taking too much time. I do not think it is a good idea to have recipes with both types of measure in the same
book. Go one way or the other and provide a conversion chart for the ones who need to convert things. I am not going
to take a recipe and sit in front of my computer to convert every ingredient.

The Metabolism diet helps people lose weight by cranking up the metabolism so that they can use the food they
eat more efficiently. Not eating enough or not eating the right things can cause the weight loss to stop and the body
to hang onto the food already eaten. There are some general dieting tips like drinking a lot of water and exercise.
Foods to avoid are listed, but some of them actually help with boosting the metabolism. Frequent meals of the right
foods and drinking lots of water or green tea will cause weight loss. There is a 5 day meal plan here. The recipes
are healthy. The instructions are clear and appear easy to follow.

There are a few editing errors, but not enough to impact the content of the book. Overall it is a good guide to both
using quinoa and the metabolism diet.

I received this book free for my honest review.

After 2 weeks I lost 4 lbs, 2" from my waist, 2" from my hips, 1.5" around each upper arm.  I'm 5'5" and 128 lbs.  At first I was disappointed that I only lost 4 lbs, but then I saw the sleek muscles that I developed and my clothes fit better than ever before, I realized that it's not the weight that matters, but how your body looks and feels.  I got on this plan to lose those last 5 lbs and I felt I was in a rut in terms of my exercise routine ( I did Body for Life 2 years ago and lost 15 lbs which I've managed to keep off).  The New York Body plan was really tough, I broke up the hour and a half exercise a day into two parts: cardio-weights in the morning, and the 45 mins of cardio in the afternoon.  I also bought the New York Body Plan DVD and I found that to be key.  There is no way I'd finish the cardio weights session in 45 mins if I didn't have the DVD to follow.  The first two days, I had to pause the DVD during a few exercises to complete the reps because they were too hard to do at the speed that David was doing them.  It really helps to see someone doing the exerices because it shows you how it should look and the speed at which you should do them, so I highly recommend getting the DVD.  As other reviewers mentioned, the recipes in the back are really delicious.  I don't eat red meat, so I stuck mostly with the omelettes and fish recipes.  For some recipes, such as the turkey lasagna, I substituted tofu for the turkey and it tasted great, my husband loved it too.  The recipes are really keepers and I've worked them into my weekly menus.  They're so easy, healthy and delicious.  The plan was very tough, I was ready to quit after Day 2 (I was sore, hungry, and tired), but it gets exponentially easier on Day 3 and by Day 4 I began to see results and felt much more energized.  It is really worth it, get this book and DVD to jumpstart your goal and maintain the results.  David has a whole maintenance section in the back that tells you how to ease off the two weeks and keep the results.  After following the plan for 2 weeks, I find that I look forward to doing the cardio-weights, they're very effective and David is highly motivational.  In the book, there is a section that counts down the two weeks day by day, with a sample menu for the day, the exercise routin to follow for the day, a success story of one of David's clients, and an inspirational message from David.  And there is space for you to chart your progress, what you ate, what exercises you did and how you felt.  David is really with you every step of the way.  You can do anything for 2 weeks.  It's really worth it.

Lots of great information. Lots of yummy quick recipes in here. I like the idea of this nutrition plan, but it's not so easy to get everyone in our household on board. The authors are very clear on the point that this is not a weight loss diet book, it is a diet designed to heal your body and get living back under control. Simple to read, easy to use and great detail on ingredients and why different ratios may work for you are another definite plus. I highly recommend keeping this one laying around and look forward to smudging the pages with healthy, all-natural goop. :)

This is a product review for the Kindle Ebook  Diet Plans for Weight Loss: Low Carb Recipes and DASH Diet.  I received this book for free or at a discount in return for an honest review of the product. I was excited for this book because I have studied a little about the DASH diet but have never really found a cookbook about it. I think this is one of the first books I have come across that encourages people to combine a diet plan with a good exercise plan! They really do go hand in hand to achieving optimal health!  I strongly recommend this book and the DASH diet for anyone who experiences hypertension (high blood pressure). This diet focuses a lot on the consumption of plant based foods which our bodies need to regulate itself and is a great way to reduce blood pressure without medication. There are a ton of great recipes that can be made with the DASH diet and they have natural ingredients, and many have few or simple ingredients. This book goes through all of the daily meal times and even gives an easy to follow simple 5 day meal plan option to help people out who are just starting with a lifestyle change. This is a great book for anyone who is wanting to focus on a healthier lifestyle either through general low carb options or through a specific medical issue like hypertension.
