So far I have lost eight pounds in eight days following Jillian's meal plan. I'M STUNNED. I thought it would take a year or more to lose my 20 pounds of baby weight. Because I'm still breastfeeding my three month old, I'm eating a lot more than she has in her plan (whole eggs, not just the whites, extra snacks, ice cream, and larger portions because I need the calories). I'm eating much more than I did before (I'd often skimp on lunch) but it's the right foods in the right way. The scale was stuck and now instantly the weight is flying off and with no additional exercise (my only exercise is walking). I feel so much better and have more energy to keep up with my infant and toddler.
I bought the book just trying to eat healthier and if a few metabolism boosting veggies get into my meals all the better. Boy, this book was a surprise. It has inspired a whole new lifestyle for my family. I've implemented all her advice the best I can at the moment and will continue to move away from chemicals. The book is fun, scary and very informative. For those people who've heard it before and don't like the book, I say until it's mainstream and everyone understands the impact of seemingly inconsequential food choices and bizarre illnesses and obesity are on the decline, then it needs to be said over and over by as many different messengers as needed. Jillian has found her calling and is helping us all. I've given this book to my sick relatives and hope many others will read it as well.

Skip the Kindle version!

It's difficult to judge the content using the Kindle version. Most of the Tables are too small to read and the "Text Size" feature doesn't alter them. I'd LOVE to read all that great info but I refuse to buy the paper copy after shelling out the money for the Kindle edition. AMAZON TAKE NOTE: THIS EXPERIENCE WILL SERIOUSLY AFFECT MY FUTURE KINDLE EDITION PURCHASES! I may never buy another non-fiction Kindle version again!

Easy to follow and easy read which is what is needed in this busy life-style! Inspiring as well that it all starts with little changes first then eventually a life-style change!

Jillian is a nutritional genius! I wish this book would have been available years ago! It would have saved me a lot of time and energy trying to figure out my own metabolic system of what works and what doesn't work. Her tips and recipes are incredibly easy to follow and I've already lost a few pounds following her simple advice.
