 Book is Similar to Mens' Version, but Better Too! September 7, 2008
I already had the Abs Diet for Men book but wanted to see how they modified the womens' version. I think women need to be more sensitive to quantity of food intake then men do, and I was curious as to how this book addressed it. They still stick to the theory that eating the 12 power foods will keep you from over eating, but in case you don't buy it, they spend some time crunching numbers for those who want to calorie count. The math they use, though a little complicated, seems valid and useful.
The contents of this book are VERY similar to the men's book. If you already own the mens' version, you probably don't need to shell out cash for this one. BUT where this book really impressed me was the quantity of exercises. It goes way above and beyond the mens' version, and I love this book for that reason alone. They also do a great job showing you gym versus home versions of exercises so you can do variations with more basic equipment (dumbbells only, etc.).
I'm looking forward to digging in and getting results. Even if I can't get a six pack, following what this book outlines will definitely make you healthy.
 U 2 can do this workout September 7, 2008
I enjoy the workout out lined in the Abs Diet for Women, I am not ready to go to the public gym as of yet but the home work out is quite effective.
Great book on eating healthy and being fit September 5, 2008

Great book, with great information. I have had problems with belly fat for
years. Even with dieting, and regular exercise, including ab work, I have never seen much results, until this book was recommended to me. In the past 3 weeks, I have seen dramatic loss of belly fat. I also feel wonderful.

I admit that I was skeptical when I bought this book. Oh, no, not another stupid diet craze. But I was pleasantly surprised. The nutrition advice is solidly based on science and a common sense approach: eat more unprocessed foods, be careful of trans fat, protein is your friend, etc. This is more of a guide to basic nutrition than a "diet book." And the exercises included in the back are great! They're easy to do and can be done quickly ( like circuit training). It only takes me about 15-20 minutes a day to do ab work and either upper body or lower body workouts. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to get healthy, learn about what's really going into their bodies, and do something about it!
