Consumer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Good Buy Comment: Good info and quite a bit changed from what I remember from the first book. Will help me avoid the stupid mistakes I made the first time. Good info on the cardiovascular diseases and possibilities for help using this diet. Customer Rating: Summary: Look no further - this is the diet that finally works!! Comment: I got this book because I wanted to eat healthier & loose about 15 lbs that refused to budge with other diets & exercise. But I knew I could never completely give up white flour/sugar foods as many experts recommend (hey, I'm Italian, I need my pasta)! Cooking & baking are my passions! The Carb Addict's Healthy Heart Program helped me greatly reduce the total amount & frequency of refined "unhealthy" carbs in my diet without having to give them up completely. I read the original Carb Addict's Diet first, but didn't trust its use of artificial sweeteners & unlimited saturated fats, and sure enough the Hellers' more recent research found these to be no-no's. Honestly, I usually eat more Reward Meal carbs than the recommended 1/3-1/3-1/3 protein-veggies-carbs balance (sometimes twice as much carbs as meat/veggies) & not always with salad...yet I still lost weight & rarely get hungry or have carb cravings. However, I do make sure my RM always has all 3 components (protein, low-carb veggies & carbs) & NEVER eat carbs outside the RM. I still eat a moderate amount of saturated fat, but try not to overdo it. Avoid processed "low-carb" foods (bread, tortillas, etc) like the plague - much like "low-fat" products, they contain unnatural ingredients that can mess with your metabolism. Stick with whole natural foods for your low-carb meals. For bowel regularity, I take psyllium husks mixed with flax meal & an essential fatty acid oil, every other day or so (right before my Reward Meal). Women may want to supplement with calcium too. Weight may come off slowly with CAHHP, but be patient & give your system at least a couple months to adjust. Keeping weekly average weights as the original CAD recommended helps with motivation (weigh yourself every day & calculate average at the end of the week, then compare only weekly average weights). Don't stress about plateaus - they're usually temporary & this way of eating is permanent! Even if you never loose all the weight you wanted to, it`s still a very healthy diet to stay on forever. Overall, I find CAHHP to be a totally live-able eating plan! In 4 months I'm even lower than my original goal weight (lost a total of 17 pounds) & no more pudge (thanks in part to weight training - don't neglect exercise! It also increases your cells' insulin receptors). I can stay on the plan but still have a normal dinner with my husband & even enjoy my occasional home-baked treats (a gooey cinnamon roll tonight)! I didn't have to throw away my beloved rice, potatoes, or chocolate. I feel CAHHP is so much healthier and easier to stick with than extreme low-carb or low-fat diets. One caveat: CAHHP will be easier if you like/are willing to try a wide variety of low-carb veggies, and if you enjoy/make time to cook at home. You COULD follow it if you eat out a lot or are a picky eater, but it's more difficult. Try lots of different foods - this diet changes your tastes & you may find you enjoy foods you didn't like before; plus variety increases the nutritional benefits. Oh, and don't get too obsessed with following every little recommendation (eliminating ALL glutamates & caffeine, adding every single supplement, no saturated fats, etc)! Just try to take steps in those directions but, as the Hellers say, don't demand perfection from yourself. I still follow the original CAD's list of low-carb veggies (summer squash, turnips, eggplant, etc) & I eat SMALL amounts of ketchup, soy sauce, etc. I feel CAHHP is too restrictive in this area, for all but the most carb-sensitive people. Bottom line: the CAHHP basic plan is pure genius...stick with it, then experiment with the various options, listening to your body, to see what works best for you & your lifestyle preferences. The Hellers themselves often say there's no "one-size-fits-all" plan. ***UPDATE 3/18/08***: WELL HERE IT IS 1 YEAR SINCE I STARTED CAHHP & THE WEIGHT HAS STAYED OFF! HOWEVER, UNFORTUNATELY MY CHOLESTEROL ALSO WENT UP ALMOST 25 POINTS TO 222! THIS ISN'T SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN ON CAHHP, BUT MAY BE DUE TO HEREDITY OR MY NOT BALANCING MY REWARD MEALS PERFECTLY. I REALIZED MY CONSUMPTION OF ANIMAL PRODUCTS HAD ALMOST DOUBLED SINCE STARTING CAHHP, SO I FOUND ANOTHER BOOK I HIGHLY RECOMMEND: 'CARB-CONSCIOUS VEGETARIAN' BY ROBIN ROBERTSON. THIS IS A COOKBOOK THAT EXPLAINS A LITTLE ABOUT 'GOOD CARBS VS BAD CARBS' AND THE GLYCEMIC INDEX/LOAD, PLUS HAS DELICIOUS *LOWER*-CARB VEGAN RECIPES (REALLY, I PROMISE!). SO NOW I COMBINE THE TWO AND EAT 1-2 VEGAN LOWER-CARB MEALS AND 1 REGULAR MEAT/CARBS/VEGGIES REWARD MEAL EACH DAY. I WAS WORRIED I'D GAIN BACK THE WEIGHT SINCE THE VEGAN MEALS CONTAIN CAHHP 'FORBIDDEN FOODS' & AREN'T AS LOW-CARB AS CAHHP RECOMMENDS, BUT MY CHOLESTEROL DROPPED BACK DOWN TO 197 IN JUST A MONTH & MY WEIGHT HAS REMAINED STABLE. TRY IT! THERE'S MORE TO LOW-CARB THAN JUST CARB GRAMS & FOOD RESTRICTIONS - YOU HAVE TO LOOK AT HOW FOODS AFFECT YOUR BLOOD SUGAR - HERE ARE 2 MORE HANDY LINKS ON THIS: http://www.lowcarbluxury.com/newsletter/lclnewsvol06-no4-pg12.html AND http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/full/76/1/5/T1 ALSO HELPFUL ARE ANY OF DANA CARPENDER'S LOW-CARB COOKBOOKS (MINUS THE RECIPES WITH ARTIFICIAL SWEETENERS). DON'T GIVE UP! DO YOUR RESEARCH AND YOU CAN CUSTOMIZE A HEALTHY LOW-CARB DIET TO WORK FOR YOU! Customer Rating: Summary: Great for people with diabetes Comment: I have type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. I followed the program this book advises. My blood sugar levels have dropped to normal ranges, 85 to 110. My blood pressure is back to a normal range also. I have even had to quit taking Amaryl because my blood sugar levels were getting too low. I have also lost 22 pounds in about five weeks. The program helps you from giving up because you may eat a reward meal with a high carb food once a day. I'm telling you it works! Customer Rating: Summary: I Don't Usually Do Diets Comment: OK...so over the age of 50 I noticed that perhaps I had put on a few pounds. I still run and skate and workout. But I also eat. Many years ago I used the Scarsdale Diet if I needed to lose a few. Today it does nothing. So...I started to try Atkins. I saw the damn thing on the best seller list every week so I figured it had to have some credibility. No way. I was starving by the end of the first week. So I tried South Beach. Same thing. I'll never stay with it if I'm dying to sneak ice cream by 9 pm. And...being a jerk for these things I then went to Carbo Addicts. Incredible. Follow it and you are not hungry. I have lost 15 pounds in less than 2 months. I get to eat one meal a day of anything I want and I feel great. This is the one. Forget Weight Watchers and all the others. Just stick to this and you'll lose with no effort. Trust me. Customer Rating: Summary: Not quite understanding. Comment: I have read this book and am extremely impressed with everything in it except there are some parts that I don't understand. One is dressings on salads I cannot find a dressing out there that has no sugar or msg and also when you say sugar does that mean fructose and corn syrup too?I lost about 10 pounds in 4 days and I have felt great but now that it's been about one week since I have been on it I feel dragged so I don't know if I did something wrong or what. It would be nice to talk with someone about it, but I love the book!! I just want to understand.
