"If you are carbohydrate addicted, this book will give you the information you need to literally eliminate your cravings for starches, snack foods, or sweets and get control over your eating and your life--at any age, through all the decades to come--and without sacrifice. You will be able to lose weight and greatly decrease your risk for virtually all of [America's] top killer diseases. You will get the guidance you need to make the lifestyle change you have been waiting [for] for so long. And, in addition, you will gain the courage and conviction that your hunger, cravings, and weight problems are not your fault, and as the pounds fade, so will your guilt and self-blame." So begins The Carbohydrate Addict's Lifespan Program, a book especially tailored for those 40 and over, especially menopausal women and those who were prescribed Fen-Phen. Its premise is simple--it's designed to help you rid your body of excess insulin. When excess insulin is circulating through the body, it's virtually impossible to lose weight, say Richard and Rachael Heller, both research scientists and professors and authors of the bestselling Carbohydrate Addict's Diet. They've created a sympathetic and clear guide for keeping insulin levels--and therefore food cravings--in check, with plenty of appealing and easy-to-prepare recipes, including low-fat Chicken Kiev and Herby Crabmeat Salad. A stress-reduction plan, progress charts, meal plans, and comprehensive index are included.--Erica Jorgensen

 Excellent follow up to the first book..., 2008-07-13
A wonderful follow-up to the first book, The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet.
This book adds a few new suggestions, such as eliminating diet sodas and other artificial sweeteners, and has many other options for making the diet even more successful.
They also have a very lengthy scientific section in the beginning that explains exactly what goes on inside the carb addicts body. And proof of what excess insulin can do to your body if it goes unchecked.
Very good book and very good program!

 The Carbohydrates Addict's Lifespan Program: Personalized Plan for Becoming Slim,Fit & Healthy in your 40's, 50's and 60's and , 2006-07-09
I was expecting simple daily meal plans and it was a lot of reading and recipes that are not always food items on hand. I was really disappointed in the book.

Health and Success Thru Planning, 2005-11-12
When I first tried this "diet" I was feeling very sick--obese and lethargic and completely down; I felt like this was my last chance.
After THREE DAYS on this plan, I felt 100% better. I didn't have the swelling in my feet and legs; I didn't have the bloating I had been experiencing. The first week I lost 10 lbs; the second week I lost 5 lbs; the third week, another 5 lbs. After that, I settled down to between .5 and l.5 lbs a week.
As long as I follow the plan, I feel great and lose weight or maintain weight depending on what I am trying to do.
This is the best "diet" for me because I don't have to weigh anything, I don't have to measure anything in detail (eye measure is about it) and once I had been on the plan for a few weeks, I knew exactly what I could and couldn't eat. Its the first plan that has really worked for me and been relatively plainless as well.

Works for me!, 2005-09-06
This book definitely has a lot of great info in it. I have been following the plan since `June and have lost 64 pounds so far. I am never hungry and my cravings are controlled. If carbs are an issue for you, I definitely suggest you give it a read. At the price you can get it used on here, I can't see why you wouldn't want to check it out! It is definitely about a lifestyle change though, not a quick fix. :)
